Whats the most youv'e ever lost playing a machine?

Mine was on austin powers. It was backing with my first pound and they don't get refilled in the arcade I was in. I put 140 in and eventually got austin powers for 40 and then it died. I also put 120 over the back of silver-7{bwb} without even getting a £15jp.

See why I've stopped playing bandits [except my own :)] now?

I saw a friend lose £92 in Mazooma 'Stir Crazy' - the only crazy thing about that machine was the HUGELY NOISY card shuffling mech it had instead of a number reel :D

BarcrestBenito

P.S My biggest loss is £127 - 2 consecutive nights of Pie Factory - the board REFUSED to go above £2 and the Hi-Lo never went above 3 on cash wins. Considering that I am on 8 hours a week at Argos [while I am at college] - that makes 3 weeks wages.

Scary stuff, eh?

Heres a tip -

Buy your own bandit. Then when you lose, at least you save! With the cashbox money I lost in my Each Way Nudge over Christmas set to £5/10p/84% I bought a Kodak 4Mpix 10X Optical Zoom camera, 256mb SD Card, Case and a Tripod :)

£350 in a 3-way Golden Game in the middle one.

Eventually it would not accept anymore coins and the technician said he would have to switch it off.

About £300 in Powerspin £15 jp nevr got the jackpot once that was a sore one

I would say around 170 notes on The Royal Fam - could get it upto the secon from last feature and it would go no higher.

Have also lost over a 100 notes on Up Up and Away.

You would think we would learn, but once you put a quid in and you hear it drop you can not help but play it in the hope that with the next quid a few JP's will drop in.

On one machine, put £100 through a late horrible rechip of pinball wizard £15JP, week and a halfs wage got a JP then died again so i took £5 from some knockouts, good job i moved along to an extreme gaming machine inca dinka do, got £30 in the bank and then IM board for another £45.

Put £95 over the back of a Bell Fruit Happy Fruits, had streaked one a few days ago in a different place for £75 so i was playing it, got a £25 and played on for the streak it never game, i walked home 6 miles, told a friend to hit it the next day and he put a further £75 over the back and eventually got £25 no repeat then dead.

Was in nobles and the hot stuff machine had one of those 'out of order' signs on meaning someone was going for more money...or so i thought came back a couple hours later and sign was still on so i went on it, was £60 off the back, took another £40 making £100 got the streak for £33, took another £30 back then got JP off tutti fruity no repeat.

Oh nearly forgot, Mazoomas Jack the Kipper! £140 in for JP no repeat, no afterplay ended up leaving it with £20.

I'll rarely force a machine these days unless i know it really well like Connect 4 every week £20 in for £25 sometimes with repeat.

£300 in one day on random machines....when jackpots used to be £15. I usually give up when i lose about £120 nowadays, cos i know its not worth chasing for...but where i go, theres a bloke that loses about £600 a day....what do u expect?? playing on 3 partytime machines at once???...stupid fool....and he does it so regularly..he doesn't go on any machines except them ones....and he just keeps playing until it takes all his money...crazy!

[LiamsLocks]

£140 into Spiker The Biker £15JP, got invincible mode within first £5 but kept playing when 25 quid up, eventually was 140 down, and i only stopped cos the landlord refused to change any more of my money. Was gutted.

Theres nothing worse than putting alot of money into one machine and knowing it will payout soon and u run out of cash then someone puts in a few quid and wins all the cash...that happened to me once and that was enough!

[raverpat]

Most I ever done in a machine was £500 in Club Crazy Fruits going halves with my mate. The money was dropping and it had not gone in about a week and a half but we still could'nt get the big one. Limped off with a £64 double or nothing and a few smaller wins. Most I have seen done in a machine was £700 in a Club Roller Coaster, he had a serious case of the after-bollocks-blues.

[ziggy]

Ready to rock ( barcrest ) over a year ago.Backing first pound so i decided to force it..........................£200 + coins later i got a jackpot which repeated ( wow ! ) and died.

I later found out this machine is bugged to buggery and i have NEVER touched one since ( a rtr that is )

Wasn't a Wildfire in Gravesend by any chance, was it?

[danzaiver]

most i lost if i can remember was 70 quid playing club casino crazy. Out of the 70 quid it gave me casino crazy feture twice and 5 win spins. then died. I only play bandits if i have the cash but i dont so i never play them much. And there was anther time i was playing a 15 quid jp bandit (sorry cant remember the name) i streaked it a couple of times and when i went to take my winnings the bandit said out of money i told the tech and he switch it of without giving me a single penny of the winnins

[PJ]

...he switch it of without giving me a single penny of the winnins

Well, that's out-and-out theft for a start - did you tell the manager? How long ago was this?

[Gablaholic]

£500 into a Golden Game without more than £30 up top.

This was when the "scam" of refusing the X's was doing the rounds (which I didn't know about), so obviously someone had just "done" the machine before I went on.

[buzzin_nutta]

Not me personally, but I know somebody put £700 through a club machine, potted the £250 and came back the next day to get it again. Put that back in and had a serious headache.

[Lewis777]

Party time has robbed me of 200 + before. No surprise there then. Been ripped by a few electrocoin bandits aswell in my time - casino red bar & the oxo's.

Watched a friend of mine put about 250 pds in royle family in felixstowe once, finally gave in & gave him a jackpot. Then it died on its arse.

Anyone know if there is a limit to how much 25.00pds bandits take without a win before they have to pay out a jp ?

[Monopoly60v8]

£240 on Crystal Maze, Yeah, it did only have a £10 Jackpot, but I was hoping for the Jackpot repeater with 25 repeats....... It never happend :roll:

Its not all bad tho, I was on that machine for hours and hours and therefor I got offerd a free cup of coffee,

You know your in big trouble when the ATM is saying "insuffisant funds"
