Train station machines

[Reachah]

Are the machine you see at train stations worth playin for any kind of profit?
I was at london bridge today and on my platform there was a bling bling (red)and a fantaztec or sumin like that. i had a quick go on the bling bling but as i only had £4 on me i could'nt try much. although i did double my money which was something.

Anyone play machines in places like this?

[Prowler]

this is a true fact that not many people know, the 2 machines on platform 4 and the 2 in the snack bar place on the main concourse earn more money per year than the rest of london bridge station put together!!

[Reachah]

platform 4 was where i was. thats quite mad really to think that they earn that much.

so worth playing i take it? As i gues people waiting for trains dont have time to play for long, if going to work i guess any way.

I play station ones a bit when im travelling.

Here in York there is a Most Daunting, Juggling Jackpots and Cobra Cabana at the moment. In Peterborough i usually have a go on Jackpot Genie, and sometimes Back to the Features just to see if it's playing.

I've managed to make a good £70 odd on one journey home....but as i have luggage, i don't carry many coins. Getting change is a pain too, so i often leave it. Used to play when i got home in Cambridge (SKR) until they got an I'm a Celebrity put in! Nightmare!

Always worth a pop though, i see many people chucking £2/£3 in. Best way of nicking in!

I did very nicely out of machines in train stations,years ago.

Although they are usually set to the absolute minimum 70% payout, they are great if you have an emptier - no one takes any notice.Maybe not so great now, I don't know.

Back in the days when all ACE machines in BR stations could be emptied I did a London route starting at London Bridge then onto Waterloo, King's Cross,Euston,Paddington etc and then off to the outskirts - from Watford and right round to Croydon, Slough, Gravesend and all points in between.

I haven't played in a train station for at least 5 years (mainly 'cos I no longer use trains) but I expect there are rich pickings still to be made if you have a secure method.

I pretty much gave up on playing stations during the JPM era - JPMs on 70% were hopeless (unless you had an emptier like Wild West ).

i've played monopoly in my station in dundee, dunno what version of monopoly it is even thought i think they are all quite shit, and every time a stick more than a fiver in the machine seems to fuc kup and turn off and the workers where the machine is dont have a clue and tell me i cant get my credit back, its shit like. so in dundee dont play that machine, also other one is ant and decs saturday night take away which is shit anyway

very good to play but, there are a lot of players that do the stations only, they do get filled quick but u will find there is always watching u, i prefer the bars right next to the station, seem to be a lot happier

donea little run while on the trains before, did the jp genie matt spoke about in cambridge.

I always pop down and batter the legal tender in my local station every 2 days, a rite little earner

The pub in Kings Cross is pretty useful for fruities. Rocket money + Crown jewels last time I was there a few weeks back
