Going to darken the room by asking people there highest loss from one session on one machine??

My personal one will sound rather lame, but you need to consider that the machine was a £4 jp, 5p play cops and robbers.

It was about 5 years ago when i went to stay at my grandparents for the weekend, i went to the chippy and came back with a cold portion of chips and a severe arse raping from the cops'n'robbers machine. I still can't believe it today, i put in £25 in total, got on the board twice, died on the second spin the first time, and got fined the second, leaving me 40pence LOL, i have never in my life seen a machine playing that badly. Should have left with when my chips were still warm.

Nowadays i still haven't learnt, playing the old italian job machine, got red sevens on an 11 (experience would tell me that if i went low i would get a 12), but obviously i had to prove my experience was top-notch - hence i went lower and proved my experience is worthy!!

Biggest loss?

2 Consecutive days, on a Pie Factory. First night, was taking cash over the back after about £10, but no [and I mean NO] feature board went about £2. They were blocked to hell. Still, I kept going, and left at closing time, with a £70 loss.

Next morning, paid a visit to the pub to get my revenge - I assumed that having lost £70 [£60 round the back], that the machine would drop some JPs within a couple of quid. No such luck, another £65 in, another set of dead boards NEVER going above £2 [bloody funny, when you have a cashpot of 70p, you hit 5 Pie Spin things, hold Vivid and get 6...and each gives 20p, leaving you short of £2!]

Well, that was £135 lost over one night and one morning. To be honest, I can look back and laugh at it, as thanks to that, I stopped playing them. It does make you realise just how bad the gameplay situation can be these days though

Me and my mate £300 into Public Enemy No. 1 for a £250 JP which we still didn't win!

No more to say on that subject....

Amateurs!!!

Too numerous to mention..but I guess around 13 years ago when I was earning more money than I had sense. When Del's Millions first came out. For some reason (I can't remember why)...I was obsessed with taking the "Millionaire's Row" feature...which sometimes paid out between £5 and £12. Anyway, however much I tried...I could not get this machine to hit a winning streak. I lost the plot after the first £30....Net result....8 hours playing and 8 pints later. I lost more than £200 in one session.

Still can't get the bugger to pay out a decent streak...even on the emulator...lol

Amateur? pah

Anyway, when you take it into context, it's a little worse -

The facts :

Under 18, working at Argos, on under £40 a week....

.....now you can see why at that point, losing £130 in 2 nights was pretty disasterous

well this didn't happen to me but it did to my m8, well he just got paid from work about £123 and we were in the pub and he went on The Lord Of The Rings The Return Of The King fruit machine the jackpot was £25 he put in £100 and it didn't give him the jackpot at all it did give him some good feature boards he ended up collecting small cash wins to get the money back he got back £70.

Biggest loss for me, £12

Not even a go on the feature board, nowt, and it was a 10p/£5jp machine.

I know thats not much compared to others here.

It cheers me up when I lose £5-£10 on a machine, I just think atleast other people have lost more.

I know thats unfair :-(

[Bencrest]

Nah, it's for their own good!

Perhaps one day people will stop whinging about the fact they never win and will wake up to the fact that machines are designed to make money out of them

Also....the more other people lose, the less you have to in order to keep Mr Barcrest making his wonderful machines!

Single session, £800 in a Casino Grand Slam before the cashbox tubes backed up, alarmed, machine turned off.

Peed off was not the word.

[bugalugs]

£145 in a single session on Pie Factory 2. Highest win I got from feature, etc was about £12. Was the machine the finally made me wake up from my surreal world and say enough is enough.

M1Adness - I'd be absolutely frothing if that happened to me, esp. as the tubes were so full. I can only think they refilled the tubes after a massive win.

[martin1980]

All Amatuers!, I do like benito's post though!, I know how you feel man...

Biggest loss in one day was in Rio Grand £1000 JP.

After seeing it offer the £250 note on the feature (Which is very significant) - I proceeded to put £1810 for a jackpot!, I was absolutely SEETHING!!!!.

PIECE OF SHIT!!!! :twisted: 8O :oops: :oops: :oops:

[eddienufc2k1]

Dave...Sit next to someone who understands. Happened to me on a Bellfruit Monopoly and Barcrest Golden Dragon...Mind you it was the man before me plugging it away so I put a fiver in and no such luck.
My biggest was £10 on Open the box, 1 set of nudges, no box feature, no wins.

[mocochoco]

In one pretty short session i lost about £105 on jackpot and the beanstreak...... that was after a couple of trips to the cash point as well. Pub closed so i had to leave, didnt have a very good nights sleep that night lol.

£1000 in a hard profile slotto in 5 hours. Never played a s16 since.

[LiamsLocks]

£130 in a Stack Attack, absolutely gutted i was. Just went far too quickly. Still though i've learnt since then and won't ever get notes changed any more. Just use the change. Pints still end up costing me 5 quid a pint though
