About £400 in club cops and robbers in one day, was in the club for 6 hours, until they kicked me out when it closed.

I was the first one in the morning to get in, straight back on the machine, got JP and then cashpot all in the first 2 hours, left £200 down on the 2 days.

Got home and then lost my girlfriend that day after I forgot to pick her up the night before, so in the end losing £200 and a girlfriend in 24hrs was quite bad....

Before anyone disbelieves the following, i wish the hell it wasnt true!!!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
scary to admit now but between myself and two collegues we put £700 in one BAR 7 - £15 jackpot trying to force the streak. The thing was clearly broken, paying £2 for the £1 win but we kept persisting for 3 days. Some good news and everyone should note this. IT IS WORTH COMPLAINING TO NOBLES. If they know you spend money , if you complain enough they will give you something back. Fortunately for me because of the £2 fault they ended up giving me £200 back

Worst ever loss was in a Club India Jones (i think thats what it was called) It was a £250 jackpot and refusedto givethe jackpot, wouldnt go over £50. ended up putting in nearly a grand before it "broke". couldnt come back next day and club manager refused to hold it as by now 3 people were queuing to play on it (bas*ard). Anyway low and behold , engineer 'fixes' it next morning and i heard later that within £10 it paid out £700. Remember this was a £250 jackpot so you tell me how the hell it was allowed to get that far in front on its %age before paying out....

Anyway given the buggers up now and moved onto the casino machines!

Wow this is scary - i though i was in a minority spending these sorts of sums.

Generally though the biggest thing that sucks me into these machines is when the local lads "in the know" come along and try to tell you how to play the machines. Sort of makes me want to do the complete opoosite and i think they know that (eg they tell me..'on this machine just collect all the small wins' so i try it and get stuffed so next time i dont trust them and do my own thing and still get stuffed)

ANYWAY TIME TO CHEER THIS THREAD UP. How about best profit from a make of machine by pure hard work and nothing to do with any fiddle/trick you may heard of. , doesn't have to be a single machine.
For example I'll start the ball rolling with JOKER POKER. In one day I emptied three of them for a net profit of £350. In one of them I'd emptied
it and there was still £67 owed in the bank.

I know this was posted a while back but JESUS - was that a £5 JP? If it's from a chippy then the max is £5 isn't it? Any more than that and a) they need to pay the £750 or so for a license, and B) I don't think they could have a license becuase kids could play it :S

Smart move - check eBay, there's plenty of machines going for peanuts there. Should pay for itself in a couple of weeks, hehe :D

Tip: hold out until you find a machine which you will always enjoy playing, even when it's doing your bollocks, 'cos that adds to the satisfaction - you can say "haha f*** you asshole, I'm gonna open you up and get all my money back in a minute and play again, you c***" ;)

PS - I've got that bloody 'laa-laa-la-laa-laa, laa-laa-la-laa' tune (from when you get nudges on Jackpoteers) going through my head now, and guaranteed it'll still be with me at three-o'bastard-clock in the morning now it's started - thanks a c***in' lot... :roll:
