How rude is this! Was in the pub last night and put a quid in Quality Streak, straight away put me on the nudge ladder with a mixed bar win possible. So took that, gambled on the cash ladder and straight away was awarded 3 shots. One after the other got 3 red arrows straight away, giving me a red streak. Not bad I thought for a quid, mistakenly thinking that for a red streak I was gonna get at least 25 quid jackpot. WRONG! All it gave me was a miserly 11 quid. I was no impressed to say the least. Went on Gimme Gimme Gimme with my winnings and 2 quid in rolled in a jackpot but still.... 11 quid from a red streak?! Surely that is the worst ever?

I once spent over 50quid to get a red streak on a game i forget the name of (stars n bars or something).
The arcade owners could see me all the time from their little boxthingy. The red streak only gave me £15 from a £25 JP so I was utterly bemused.
I kinda said something like "wtf thats not supposed to happen". I put it down to the fact it was going to give another red feature with a better win and played on. When I got back to the red streak it gave me £15 again and I was fuming. I played on.
After fair few more creds the machine malfunctions at the same time im on another red streak. The owners who have been watching me gave me £25 without question.
I wonder why.

::First jackpot::-::2p-a-go Winspin::-::£1.50 jackpot from 4p gamble::-::was still in a pram:: Anyone fancy doing WinSpin? Cant find it and would love to see it done.
Only £500 jackpot on Little Devils which I got waiting for a Rainbow Riches (£70) feature to end. Then I got £210 on the feature on Rainbow Riches. My mrs was happy that day!

To be honest, I don't expect any highest or lowest amount on streak features any more. I got the red feature on Pie Factory twice and twice it gave me around £15. Getting shit runs off red features on Super Streak and Red Hot Roll was not uncommon either.

a mate of mine got a red streak on a bear x and only got 4 quid, and a fairly new barcrest super streak (mpu 5 - has blue 7's at £10 red 7's at £25 and a wild super streak sign as well) got a red streak all for a whopping 2 mixed 7's win streak for £2.
utter shite.
utter shite.

Quality Streak is a nasty clone of some other Bell Fruit crap. Having said that, I had 2 Red Streaks, one for £63 and one for £50ish so can't really complain. That was only after noticing that the lady who subsequently got me barred for 'cheating' on the machines had lost a good £70 mind :D
No, I dont hawk/shark, and if I go on a machine and someone stands over my shoulder I think I have the right to tip the machine over on them!
I just hang back in the opposite corner of the bar, ya can hear coins falling round the back anyway, and just keep a total in your head - not like the 2x12 year olds playing pool in a pub that were keeping a tally chart of how much I was putting into Pie Factory!

I'm noticing in threads on here and other forums that whenever someone gets barred because of alleged cheating on the machine, that its a lady who gets someone barred??
THIS IS BECAUSE WOMEN DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY FRUIT MACHINES.
YOU ARE NOT DESIGNED TO WIN FROM ANY FRUIT MACHINE.
YOU ARE DESIGNED TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON SHOES AND CLOTHES.

Only £3 off the top feature on Dosh + Pecks... think I may have smashed it. I got barred from a arcade in Colchester some years ago for apparently 'fiddling' their machines. All I done was throw a diagonal line on Monte Carlo Or Bust, nudged in feature on next spin and got super bank raid for £15. After this I quickly fluked a £20 megamoney off TopTenner and got asked to leave!
Let's smash Partytime.

I got barred 2x because of women - all though in all honesty is involved the same woman 
Women do play them, but the ones that do REALLY piss me off - if a man loses money, he generally accepts it - women seem to think that the machine is persecuting them based on sex!!!
No offense to people on the forum like Tracey - no offense intended - must just be the women in Spalding that are like that
