In Topic: Has anyone got banned from arcades just for losing?
12 August 2004 - 10:57 AM
My mate and I used to go to the local arcade, in the days of eastenders and corro street - tokens of course !!
Anyways sometimes corro street used to streak every now and then
Well this time my mate was on the receiving end and got three jackpots in a row. 18 quid of tokens
He went to the cashier desk, ( you could swop the tokens for fags and chocoloate)
and the owner was fuming, she gave him the cash for the tokens, told him he was banned. She then switched off corro.
Two weeks later we came back, and she let us back in, and for some strange reason corro had gone!
The other thing we noticed from that point, whenever someone got a streak on the other machines, as soon as they had finished playing, the woman would come along, switch off the machine and go back into her hole. A little later, she would re-appear with a screwdriver, and start fiddling with the machines ! What was she doing !!!!
Funny days.
