How often do you play and how much do you win per week?

[jjh]

Out of interest, how often do you play fruit machines and how much do you win ((or lose )) per week?

I've never known and never am likely to know any emptiers or good manipulators ((I just haven't got the contacts)), so I just stick to what I know and play properly once every Sunday. At the moment I've got a few pubs and my round on a Sunday with one of my mates is a Yabba Dabba Do Darts, BFU, SRM, VIU, and two Never Mind the jp's. With it being sunday afternoon, I usually find these machines nice and full and can get a fair bit out of them.

9/10, the Yabba Dabba Darts goes within £10- it must get played lots by a load of drunken fools!

I've been stung once by the Never mind the jp's, although as mentioned in another thread, this could have been minimised- any other time it costs £20-£40 and I end up taking about just under £70 out.

BFU usually gives just over £50 on the DM after around £20 to £30 in.

SRM and VIU usually play till offers jp then keep gambling- last time I played it offered 4 jp's before giving VIU- which it gave again on next board...

So for a Sunday afternoon, I'm usually around £90 to £120 up ((on a good day))- although sometimes less as the machines may not be playing as well as hoped- but even so, this is split between two of us and then food and drinks takes the profit well down. I don't think I could honestly make a living out of machines but if I just stuck to my 'Sunday Service' as we call it , I wouldn't be doing too bad, as I'm out in the pub, having a few drinks and playing the machines with me mate- all good fun!

The only prob is the other days if I'm out with all my mates and I'll foolishly lose the odd £10 here and there for no reason- that's where it gets me...

Anyway, how often do you guys play and what kind of rounds have you got- any for making decent money?

I play a couple of limited sessions per week - a few choice machines in local pubs, only sticking to what I know - clears me about £100 profit on average.

Not fantastic but it's a bit of beer money, and it's not my real job

Good luck to the guys playing every day and making a living at this game, wouldn't care to go there myself.

I play every weekend and some fridays but i have 6 weeks off school so i'll be down the arcade every day and thats the end of school for me iv left

well theres good days and bad days for me sometimes i foolishly get caught up in the worng machine without a method for it but at least i learn a lesson on that mc each time i do this. At the min i play about 5 days a week cuz im away in a seaside town most of the summer holidays, have a little run there of cash labs, crazy fruits etc which i can do almost every day when a few £ goes through them not a lot of profit in them but since theres so many of them it all adds up. also 2 vivids down there, unchipped pie and unchipped reel a win do these once a week normally only pull in about £100 a week but have the odd good day with £200+ profit just from hitting the right machine at the right time basically

[Thor2007]

Ahh cash labs. This years ago was the business, noone knew how to play it and it got played almost constantly where I am, u could drop £45 out this no problem a few times a week.

Rechipped now right enough, still profitable if indeed it does get played but its not the same.

land on head, spin a 1 for 2 bonus nudges and nudge head in or a 6 for taxi and then take 2 bonus, move back 3 then move back 3 again for skillstop, cheers easy money!

Welcome to the cashlabs!

well the streaks still in there on most ive played does take a while to come round though i only see it once a week or longer and they get played constantly by kids collecting money belt and skill blasts lol is there a chip to stop the streak then? in my local i used to take it every week without exception in my local and now forcing and reforcing just wont trigger it, havnt seen it in over a month

[Thor2007]

Yeah, there has been something done to this. Same as pacman. Still so many ways to tell when it is happy tho, u shouldn't lose on it even if it has been rechipped, u just wont win big on it, not regularly anyway.

I know this machine like the back of my hand, spent so much time on it.

Yeah same here so easy to read

I only get to play once, maybe twice if im lucky in a week. Usually make between £20-60 off about 5-6 machines depending on the state of play.


Some days you can win nothing on all the machines you play through no fault of your own, just by hitting them at the wrong time.

I presume you're talking about the £5 Cash lab's here, if so how much does one usually go for if you manage to get it to streak?

Cash lab/pacman/green crazy fruits (Kiddie seafront machines) are machines i can't say i've ever seen anyone try and force, certainly not at £5jp, just played for a board that costs £1ish and take what ya can off it, unless it's going to seven stepper, then they just play for mega hold.

Allthough i call crazy fruits a kiddie machine, am i right in saying it was designed for the adult market?
