Only played the FOBTs very occasionally, but had a bad experience the LAST time i played one:-
Covered the same 12 numbers for 15 x £5 spins - how many times did i hit a number ? - NIL
It works out as a 357/1 chance against this happening, so either i was very unlucky, or i was swindled by Billy Hills, i know what i think.....
It wasnt losing the £75 that pi$$ed me off, it was the seeming inevitability of what was happening. After i calmed down, i realised that it was really a good thing, as i will NEVER play one again.
Beware these things are seriously addictive, the ironic thing is that when i used to go to real casinos a lot, i never played roulette.... played 90% blackjack, plus a bit of craps for light relief.
Well done on your win kidgloves, dont give it them back !!
