Usually a day of rest for me but last weekend I find myself in Nottingham with 3 hrs to kill...wander around the shops sniffing around for those last prezzies then find myself wandering into one of the city arcades. Being very wary of sharks and generally hit/dead machines I tested the water on a King Kebab....just after I put my first quid in I look down at the reels to see 3 red 7's and make a mental note to myself not to make the look before you leap mistake again. Anyway it's not all bad...the 11th quid starts backing so I press on and a few quid later get 10 cash knockouts for my jackie. No streak sadly. More wandering and I decide to play a Temple of Treasure for old times sake...backing from the start (strange) and I spend the next 45 mins blagging barcodes inbetween dead periods and have a £75 bank for about £90 in. Then I get pleasantly awakened by the red TOT feature out of the blue on a £1.20 feature exchange. It repeats to £75 and the machine i.o.u's for err..lots. Change flunky sorts me out and it's onto a Red Alert...only £3 and I blag the hiddens and hit lucky ladders and hit firemans lift...nice quick £15. The numbers quickly start to have a tantrum so I slide onto a Just the Ticket...also full...at this point I strongly suspect refill day on Sat eve but what the hell....couldn't be arsed risking the 5 tickets and hey...we are in a city centre arcade after all...no hope..so I hi/lo my way to £15 for the JP...all these things are happening before I've put a JP in so I'm slowly making a nice profit. I hit the Lo tecs - a dead Red hot Roll on £25 followed by a full boring hit and hope bar x (refill day..it had to be). A few more nip and tucks see me out of the door with around a ton more to my name than I went in with. Nice suprise that..and no sharks.
Must ask Mr Holland if he'll by some old TOT's for my local...ha ha.
