In my local snooker club they have a club machine (Monty Pythons Flying Circus £100 5p play really good machine by the way i had £220 out last week!) anyway i went to play on it tonight and the steward behind the bar a complete t*at said i could not turn it on as it was after 11 0'clock! This was the first time i had ever heard of this law and i have played on bandits for years! I ended up getting into an argument with him and just want somebody to confirm if i am right or wrong?

There aint any " written rules " to say what time the machine gets switched on/off, however most clubs,bingo halls,casino's have all there fruit machines switched on from the moment the place is open ,right thro to closing time (whenever that is )

If the machine was switched OFF before you came in, it may be out of order/empty.

Basically there arent any rules govening fruit machines on/off status...
Owners can switch them off at any time...
Except if the machine is in credit, unless you are reimbursed to the value of credits remaining...

They usually dont switch them off when people are playing them..Violence usually happens to the "switcher off'er"...but disappear for change and it could well be off when you get back with a hand written "out of order" notice on it...(saves the beating again)....

If the Snooker hall has a liscencsed bar the machine may be switched of at there "official" bar closing time.... so the fruit machine maybe a bar item rather than a snooker hall item...

try and get ur self a copy of the bacta big yellow book find some one who is bacta trading if they will let u photo copy theres and show he/she at the snooker place the gaming act of 1968 (this may get banned from the site) but at least that u will know better if a site tells u crap like that again or just stick with rb as this maybe a safer move

The steward who runs the place is a knob and has got it in for me and is always looking for ways to get one over on me! As for going off at last orders it, he switched it off at 10.30, i went to play on it at 11.05 and the club didnt close till 11.45! and i have played on it til 11.45 many times! Nevermind i'll just have to nick his hubcaps or something!

For could not turn it on, read could not be arsed to turn it on.
He'd probably had a shite day and was on a visit to c***sville.

on a visit to c***sville.

Sounds to me like he's bought the place already - and it's a f*****g big place, judging by the amount of commuting residents I've come across in my time... :evil:

possibly a bit harsh, although i would like to see him do it.

do we really need all the bad language though?

[nails]

clubs in general do have rules for their machines, in the days that i used to go from one working mans club to the next, or legion or CIU, the rules were all the same (pretty much) no playing 10 minutes after the bell has gone, or the `rule of the commitee is final`

maybe the machine had been turned off at 11pm sharp.

but what time did the club shut??

[Woz18]

I actually work in a Club which has 3 gaming machines and to be honest, it's down to his discretion. Plus considering that you have taken many liberties (playing till 11:45, when you are meant to be off the premises by 11:30) he was a little pissed off a a guess. Still, you should have been allowed to play until 11:30 at the latest, so he does sound a little out of order.

And has anyone got any tips on either of these machines?

Monty Python Club (£150 Jackpot, 10p a play)
Club Cluedo (£150 Jackpot, 10p a play)
Club Fruit and Nudge (£250 jackpot, 20p a play)

Most clubbers these days play very similar - if you are a casual player (the £5 in for £25 out sort) then it's about learning which features hold the best potential for grabbing a quick £20. Pro's have their own techniques and on a machine that's near enough ready to pay, they will put £150 in for £250-£300 out. Probably take about 90 minutes doing it too. We're back to the old "it will pay when it's ready" addage, which is the way the £25 pub machines have gone too.

sounds to me like a mate of his pumped alot of cash into the machine and he is being a tw@ and holding it for him.

If as u said it was in a snooker club then he must have a gaming lisnce of some sort for them to play snooker till 11:45 therefore this must apply to all gaming ie the slot machine.

I bet after he has got everyone to leave he plays it himself and makes a nice little profit after getting you to stop playing it when you have put loads of money in.

That's exactly what I've reckoned since this thread started - the bastards are all at it, and it should be classed as a criminal offence, punishable by a mandatory minimum 10 years lock-up with a bad-tempered, 20-stone, sex-starved convicted murderer who's built like a gorilla, has an 18-inch dick and ain't afraid to use it to full capacity! :evil: :evil: :evil:

And that's MY $0.02...

Sounds like a twat that used to run the 24hr snooker hall round here...

Used to sit and watch the punters fill the machine then flip the power switch on the plug socket...and claim it was broken...."blown a fuse".
When the place was empty ...suddenly finds a fuse....(ahem)

But he didnt last long as the snooker hall got converted into a cut price b&b hostel.....and it was costing him a fortune in new tyres.. :twisted:
