I think that a lot of people have turned to online slots, rather than pub fruities - and who can blame them when you can get a payback percentage of 98% in an online slot, when you are looking at 70% in a pub or amusement arcade
Plus, the minimum bet is generally 25p, but in places like Ladbrokes, that goes up to £1 per spin - crazy! All for the chance to win a measly £500, when you can play in Vegas for 1c a spin and have the chance to win millions.
People forget that a lot of players out there play slots for ENTERTAINMENT, with the hope of winning money as a bit of a bonus, rather than as a way to make money. The sooner that the regulators, the pubs, the casinos etc realise this we can enjoy slots in the same way they enjoy them in Vegas - great value for money and still with the chance of winning that elusive life changing jackpot
Well, that's my rant anyway...
