Arcade Owners

[E$cobar]

Was in Arcade yesterday trying out Pound of The Baskervilles and played Cash on The Lash as it was playing very well.

Changed up £20 into coins and won £60 all together, then had to leave to get back to pub.

The prick behind the counter said you can have £20 in notes but no more... Would only change back my original note.

I then asked him where a couple of his machines had gone, which pubs?
He didn't look happy and shrugged.

Are all arcade owners ****s?

At least I got to empty two of his Supercharged machines for a few weeks (last year). Want Pounds of The Baskervilles to empty next and shall plug his Spotted Dick as soon as it has better access.

Why change coins at the arcade though? All it does it draw atention to yourself and increases your chances of getting kicked out.

Ahh spotted dick, I remember this little effort, in fact I think I still have access to one if I could b bothered to travel. Does a good run for a 5p machine.

Arcade owners are generally c*unts, some are better than others but they should respect customers more in my opinion. I only get treated well in my local arcade because the manageress' daughter had a kid to my uncle, and so I get free food from the canteen and free tokens for mab bar x's

I have never had this problem of coins not being changed in an arcade, but had it several times in pubs.

i get it all the fucking time

Most owners i've come across are like you say ****s.

Was in an over 18 zone today playing a monopoly £25JP as it's the only machine in there worth a few quid to see if you can nick a superboard.

Start playing and the manager comes over and starts being lippy and telling me to leave as im underage, i offer to show him my ID, which he sees, and then seeing the error of his ways, offers me a cup of tea to make me stay longer.

Cheeky bastard, wouldn't want to spend another second in his company after that.

At least he had some small sense of value...most operators would turn a blind eye to make a fast buck.

Dunno about that kidgloves, certainly not where I am from anyway. It's no worth losing a licence for the sake of a few £'s from an underager, that's the opinion up here anyway.

There's a lot of places around here that are over 18's only so the turnover from kids cant b that massive. There's even an over 21's as well, and all nobles and chain arcades are strict as f*ck.

Partytime, I changed £250 coins for notes today and didn't have a problem. No questions asked. Even after they stood and watched me empty a bar x 7. 21 x £10 wins and then the bars with a hold. i.o.u £21 ! yeehaaa. Fucking partytimes took a few bob from me tho, they are so unreliable.

There's a new multiplayer installed, reno casino. Never heard or seen these anywhere else but the word on the street (or rather in the arcade) is that they are pish. Maybe someone else will enlighten me about them. They dont look as if they have much to them.
