Unbelevable......Maybe the workers in the arcade are thickos and cant read so they need an engineer to come out and tell them how much the machine owes lol

Aparantly there is regulations under section 240 of the gambling act 2005 that the premises that the machine is located must have the winnings available at the time of collecting even if the machine fails to payout the full amount. you can google the regulations of section 240 of the gambling act 2005.

when you go back, if you get the money then there is no problem, if they start making up a load of BS then bring up the regulations of the gambling act etc.
