Big lol.

Shame the dude who's talking on camera is a chav and puts most of Englands youth to shame.

Yeh, he isnt normally like that, he was just a little excited. He's from norfolk! and he's 25, but he looks fairly young.

Well grats to him for winning all of teh monies.

Now I simply require your bank account details.....

:hide:

But sir, it is totally legitimate.



He does love the fruitys though, My mate that is. he has been playing them for years as he used to live in hunstanton, where there are many arcades. He can pretty much clean up everywhere he goes these days.

He was telling me, what most people don't realise is that although there is an average of say 75% return on any given machine, there is no mention of the actual amount. Most people think that due to the 75% notice, about £10 or so guarantees about £7.50 back at worst. But that isnt the case.

I have seen him pump £150 into a machine before and we are all thinking, thats it, he's lost his touch. Then he has gone on to get the £250 jackpot with repeat chance, that has gone twice so he walks away with £750, £600 profit!

He does try and teach me a bit, but its not as if you can really stand in an arcade with him giving me step by step instructions of how he is winning, we'd be kicked out, and have been as well at a few places. They have seen him win say £50 to £75 out of 3 machines so they ban us, with they're reason being we must of tampered with the machines.

We didnt, he just knows the rhythms and routines, plus when to deliberately miss or lose on smaller wins to win big on a lot of machines.

Can I be joining inings ? I give you free ring-ding..

Talk to me!

Where's Niall? (The General Lee)

He'd love you for that.

Oh noes, this thread has been fonejacked.

That's the thing - it's not just a case of roll a dice and you win or lose, there's some skill involved in playing especially the more complicated machines. The '75% return' or whatever is for an average player, a skill player will likely win more (and coversely, someone who has no idea will more than likely win less). Similar to poker - at a fundamental level it's a game of chance, but a skilled player will stack the odds in their favour.

Reminds my of one of the trips to Wales I did with my football team many many (over 20) years ago.
I played on such a machine (almost drunk) for the first and last time and didn't really understood what I have to get or to press to win etc..
I spend the last 3 pounds I had and after awhile everyone around me freaked out and they covered the numbers/dices on the screen with their hands etc.
Then I won over 50 pounds which was iirc 3,4 or 3,5x Deutsche Mark and lots of money at that time and especially when you are 15

And the win came out in 10 pence coins, I had to borrow a bag to get the money away from that pub

Steady......

When i was young i borrowerd a Gulden from my mom(pre euro coin time)
And i pulled the leaver and got a 100 gulden out of it in one pull..

Nice!

I don't play fruit machines, but a few years ago I went to Scotland (great place ) and as I had some time to waste, I had a go on one of those coin-pushing things. It was in some spa place, and wasn't as flashy as the one in the link! It was only me there, and, armed with 20 2p coins, set about shoving them down those slots. There must have been something wrong, because I won almost every time. Whole chunks of 2p coins fell down, and as the machine was multi-faced (like the one in the link) there were loads to win! I cleared all the overhanging coins on the 6 or so sides before I left, and came back the next day to do the same again!

It seems a bit silly, I only won 2p coins, but I was young and there were a lot of them! There must have been about 20 quid's worth, like BBO@BSR I needed a bag to carry them. Plus this was no software fault, either the machine was weighted wrong etc, or I was very, very lucky!

I have played slots once. I was on a work trip and at the mercy of the guy who drove. I shoved a $20 bill in a machine and 30 seconds later was done for the night.

I think you are talking about a completely different kind of slot.

Yea. Only American slots do 30 seconds job with a 20$ bill...

We couldn't get any video of the £25 jp machines in the bar as it was very quiet and the bar staff were starting to watch us closely, as we had got jp off all three 5 pounders and one of the 25 ers as well, so we spent about £12 and won £40, then left!

if you want to see all his handy work, then check his youtube channel, lots to look at.

Having worked in a slot machine casino to add a little to my lousy journalist income, I tell you that you cannot possibly win on these machines in the long run.

Here in Austria, the win rate is 98% of the money put in (not the pay-out rate though, there's a difference: you win if you score a win, but it isn't paid out unless the player whishes to do so, thus a lot wins are not paid out at all, as they are lost when the players continue to play.)
And here's what fools the people: you win quite quickly, and you win quite often. Still, you don't win as much as you put in. There might be days where you win 1000 Euros with only 150 euros inserted in a machine, but over the course of a year, even if your wins paid out immediately instead of playing on with them, you'd still end up with 2% less money than you had beforehand. The only real winner is the casino.
