Just have to get something off my chest..
I've been banned from playing machines in 2 pubs near to my house, both of which I went into on about every other night...
Yes, My Dad and I are 'slotjockeys' lol, or rather, we play machines, putting in a set amount of stake each and splitting the pot at the end, before [sometimes] moving on to another pub.
We would ALWAYS get say £10 of drinks in each pub between us.

The same Slot-Jockey-Junkie-f***-Slag-Cheese that got me thrown out of pub No1 managed to get me barred from playing machines in Pub No2.

Both of these are in my hometown of Spalding, Lincolnshire.

In the most recent, Dad and I would play the BFG Diamond Mine machine in pub No2...Being a Bell Fruit, and considering my dad isnt getting any older :) we use a tactic of BankBuilding, whereby we collect on a board/hi-lo when we believe the mahcine will kill us, and so far we average a couple of quid either side of evens on every time we use this method.

What we do, is go to a pub with £25 in change each. We put 2 in at a time, and when we got on the board, we knew when it was going to kill us on 90% of occasions...and as we were continuing to play afterwards, leaving wins in the bank to show how we were doing, we [even if we f***ed up on the way], would normally get offered similar in the space of 2 spins or so. So, we would put 50 a night in, and get 45>55 out, either a loss of £2.50 each, or a profit of £2.50 each, but plenty of enjoyment all the same...although I miss the thrill of ForceFeeding, I wouldnt go back to it until money starts growing on trees, having seen a friend lose £90 in about 30 mins on Mazoomas 'Stir Crazy £25/25p'....all £90 goin round the back!

O, back to the story...The Slot-Jockey-f***-Slag-Cheese from hell decides to make this her local as well....and she starts playin the bandit. She would lose £60 or so force feeding because, well, she was wasted, she wouldnt take a jackpot if it got up and slapped her in the face. She didnt work out that a Red Mode [and I can tell you the whole f***in machine goes RED a.k.a MANIC STREAK FEATURES by Vivid.
So, Dad and I continue to play on alternate nights, but now we are making profits, as we were gettin the £63ish streak [2xIM and some good boards before dying lol] as well as BankBuilding, we were gettin about 50in and 75out....until the Slot-Jockey-Junkie-Slag-f***-Cheese decides to go to the Landlady-
[as she did in the first pub, where she set up a fruit machine syndicate with the stupid f***in retarded 'hardman' landlord, whereby her, whatever twat she was sleeping with for her fix, the landlord and his wife would put £10 quid into her capable hands to play the machine with [Temple of Treasure], and at this point I would force the crap outta this machine [approx 2 years ago]. So, as expected, she blew their £40, I got out £60 within about £20 of turning down EVERYTHING, cept Temple of Treasure [Red/Normal] and Reels of Fortune [Red], and pissing em off...suppose it was my fault, I could see it was getting to them, but a) never trust a gambler on heroin with your money, and B), as a much cooler Landlady told me - 'The machines for the punters. I couldnt care if you dropped £150, but I'd expect a drink!']

So I kept goin, until I go in one day, they refuse to serve me. Slot-Jockey-Slag-Junkie-f***-Cheese has told them that I get cheats of the internet, and am ripping them off. Very f*****g pleasant...'Oh well' I thought, 'That pub was a shithole anyway' [which it was]

Thats why I started drinking and playing in Pub2.
What happens??
Slot-Jockey-f***-Junkie-Slag-Cheese decides to pull the same whit with them. She tells the Landlady the same shit, and she took her word over that of mine and my dad. She told them that we were getting cheats off the internet, and we were 'known for it'...of course her f***in retarded syndicate retards would back her up, so we had f*** all chance of getting our voices heard.
I gave her the argument from out point of view.
A) They heard us and saw us put 50 in and take 60 out...they were watching so f***in intently it was obvious we werent cheating.
B) You CANNOT Cheat on machines...except for emptiers, and they get patched anyway...well, we didnt say the bit about emptiers, that would sound like we WERE cheating, Dad said it was a 'Self Regulating Device designed to pay out 78% of money that goes in. Unless you give me the keys and I have a dig about in the cabinet, I cannot change that. It isnt my fault that the person before me makes a loss. That is their choice, if they cant handle making a loss, they should stop gambling altogether'

Oh well, Ive said too much, sorry folks. Just had to get this off my chest. It's a shame really, but life goes on. I am going to be honest, when it first happened, I was considering killing some/all of the bastards involved, but talking bout these experiences let you see that they are all #@#@#@#s and we are superior!!

So, Thats the point of this Topic...I Understand itll probably be deleted, but I think that it would be nice to share experiences of being barred from places for playing machines lol.

Lookin forward to loads of responses!!

PS - I have a Barcrest Each Way Nudge [MPU5]...how the flying hell do I turn the vol down? In the Test Menu all I have is Sound Test, in which a gay voice says Channel 1, Channel2, Both :)

Peace out,
BellfruitBenito [a.k.a BarcrestBenito :)]

Hard luck matey, sound like you were in a no win situation. It's all sour grapes, that's why I barely bother with pubs except big chains, weatherspoons e.t.c

I've been barred from many a pub in the past.

Simliar tactic used by the pub manager who also used to play the machines.

At the time he understood the machines better than i did and it was more luck than skill that i kept winning.

4 nights running i took £75 from two machines and then i would leave and come back the following night.

I was called into some "private" room and they asked me to empty my pockets in case i had a magnet or something, Then they tried to say that my lighter was acting as one.

I eventually got out of this room but they couldnt put anything on me,

What makes this story worse is that this pub was my local for about 10 years prior and since then i havent been back in. The pub is now suffering business wise and i cant say i feel sorry for them.

I did see the manager again shortly after the incident pumping his money into a £250 machine in one of the social clubs around town, he dropped the jackpot of £250 so i returned the same favour to him and to this day he still hasnt been allowed back in there and they also took the £250 from him.

So the morale of the story is, If you can't take the fact that someone else is winning from these machines then dont have them in your pub.

I always say to people after i have dropped a £50+ that i put the money in like everyone else and even if i do win it more than most its because i put more in.

:rolleyes:
Never been asked to leave however, have been shall we say 'hassled' to leave in an high street arcade.
Happened apx 11 yrs ago, this when most machines were either 20p or 10p still a go. I won £78 in one session on one machine. Cant remember the name of it. Time was 730pm so banks all shut. Machine paid out in virtually all 10p's. Staff would not swap it for notes or £1 coins.I jingled jangled down the rd & on the bus home!
Went back to arcade few days later & every machine I went to an attendant followed me & watched me like a hawk.
==I've given up gambling on machines now. Well got a family but the emulators give me hrs of late nite fun trying to win !!
