I think you should give every fruit emu member say 10 pound in tokens, ONLY if they pop in your arcade and say they are such and such of fruit emu. If i ever go to brighton ? (i think your in brighton lol ) I would defo go out my way to pop in and say hi. WHY ? because ur nails of fruit emu lol . I get impression that ur a sound guy. So can we see lots lotsssssssssssssssssssssssssss of pics of your arcade from the epmty space it was to the grand opening. unless your allready open then forget it lol. what you say nails ? or any one else with ideas for free tokens lol

Only if they came to the country in the back of a truck from Albania with no formal papers.

sounds almost as bad a quicksilver who does £5 tokens for the first £5 sent. ( And we watch you like a vulture untill the last pound coin goes in.)

good luck mate

the first wee while can be a bugger but if you get good customers and treat them right then you should have a good business.

also really watch your staff if you are getting people to work there that you dont actually know.

Nice one, always good to see someone do something they really wanna do.

here is the shop before (joe jennings betting shop) and then just after the carpet went down.

there were times when i thought it would never be completed, the extent of the damage to the shop was awful. I actually found a letter inside the shop from one of joe jennings mangers, condeming the shop.

there was wiring that seemed to go nowhere, plasterboard ripped right off the wall, and the shop itself was empty for over a year. Principle work started just after christmas, there was 2 loads of rubbish to be removed, ranging from betting shop cameras (the old style that photo`d the bet) betting slips/pens and a wad of saved winning slips (known as sleepers).

After the rubbish was removed we set about dismateling the 16 bank TV frame and artexing the wall, paining the walls and buying new ceiling tiles that were painted black, and the rails were sprayed gold. it wasnt till the carpet went down and the ceiling finished that it looked anything close to a shop at all, then in 2 loads of a luton van, the machines were bought in and sited.

We have a friend in the trade of machine hire, and the extent of fraud is quite worrying. several brand new note acceptors have been disabled, and also some wiring have been isolated to stop the art of clicking from going on with machines that were made only 3 years ago.

will take a few photos tommorow of the finished arcade.

Well done Nails for getting this project off the ground.

A lot of people start off with good intentions but never have the balls to see it through to the end.

I dont think i could TBH too much hard work and dedication involved.

Look forward to seeing your "After" photos.

[poopoo77]

Bloody good luck to you nails out of intrest, How many pound coins you get for total float ? (including machine filling) and how you get them all ? I would imagine a bank wouldnt have thousands ? looking forward to more pics hun. love sez x

[nails]
