[arcade on filey sea front]

ed remember playing a bar x 7 in my local and i got caught out with the machine dropping from the first quid in and it was playin crap hardly eany wins ect so after about 250sh into it i was starting to get pissed with the machine knowing that it must have been refilled by the way it was playing .it then crashed and alarmed .one of the staff came and done wat they always do to begin was switch it off and on but it just wouldent sort the problem and the woman that worked there had knew i had put a good bit in it . and she seid to me i will have to clear it she did try the reset button but no joy and i knew strait away that whatever game state i had built would be lost so i seid to her what about all the cash i have put in it she then seid i will phone my boss she went and then came back with 100 quid and 40 quid of tokens and she gave me the 45 quid that was in the bank before so all in i got 145 cash and 40 of tokens to me it was a result because i know they machines can at times suck a few hundred in before they go off . but it goes to show some arcades can be decent and honest with there customers esp if you are a regular .but there are some right crookid arcades around not naming eany but one springs to mind they have arcades up and down the country with low percetages and low payout runs i was barred fom one of them about 14 year ago because i ast them why are they were going round clearing the ram on certian machines just before closing time that they are killing off eany potential big run and it aint fair on the ones who have lost a lot and want to come back in the morning to try and win back some of what they have lost the manager seid to me we are not resetting them we are servicing them and i knew it was shit so i seid  that i know that the button they are pressing inside the machine is the clear ram they had a party time arena open and i pointed out the norm reset and the clear ram button but they still tried to deny it .i went in a few weeks later and was told i was barred for being abusive to staff i just laughed and left because i knew they made it up so they could have a exuse to bar me because i knew what they were doing .

[club or arcade?]

For me its got to be arcades .have played clubbers back in the 90s in pubs i remember playing a BFM cashino on my way out the pub playing about 4 quid of loose change in it it was on a 10p stake 100 quid jp i got the 3 dices for 4 quid gambled it on a 20p stake on the top reels and got up to around 40ish on the top moved the stake up to 50p a spin on the  top reels few spins later the bells came in got the 100 quid .But i am more into low tech machines bullion bars and party times these days and 5 quid jp machines the triple player ones golden game ect .But in saying that i dont find myself goin to the arcades to much over the past few years there seems to be less to play and more in the way of t7ns and t8 style machines nowa days .
