sounds like a good idea

Indeed. Must be 8 years or so since I played properly. Still dabble on the odd day but nothing like the old days.
Much prefer to lose £100 on the turn of a card than lose the gamble of £3 to £4 on a crappy Bfm. The more astute among you can see why.

yeah I think fruities have become too fackin tedious now even I dont bother often..

Just not worth the time and effort now unless its a solid method of course.. its also very rare you will catch me playing machines just for the sake of it now when I am in pubs etc..

They are ok if youve got a few select machines(generaly older machines) here and there.

I havent played for about 3 months now although im going out on sat for old times sake. Actualy looking forward to it (prolly a bad thing lol).

Anyone got any juicy current info?

Funny this thread should come up.

I've got a few machines that offer profit, but I haven't bothered for at least over a month now, if not longer. I've had a dabble here and there like the rest of you say, but no longer going out once a week to solely play the machines.

I think the main reason is that I'm taking a lot more time out for other things, such as the horses for a start, but also, playing fruit machines is just so anti social. Walk into a pub, your only company a hefty float a £100 coins in your coat, play the fruit machine for half an hour, then leave. It just doesn't appeal as much as it once did when now I can ring a couple of friends up and have a good day out at the races or whatever.

You can still profit from machines, just not on the scale of the old days. Even with mates in tow, I can snatch a quick tenner (so what you might say), thats a round with the guys paid for. No 200 profits, but a tenner a pub still pays dividends.

This is surely the end of an era.

I agree with that fully, but I don't like going out alone no more for such small profits. I mean somedays when I went out recently I'd be £100+ off pub machines per week but it just doesn't appeal as much as it did.

Saying that, I always have a float handy in case the Throw a Wobbler is backing and offering 5 nudges on the featureboard
