i think that they are like a fruit machine if the have paid out youhave no chance of winning the must take alot of money our local bookies on king street has no fruit machines just 4 of them they take more money than they do on bets just another money making scam unless you are lucky enough to drop on one where someone has put aload in take advice from someone who has been there brought the t-shirt keep well away

Whether it’s in a casino or in the bookies, they are there to make money for the establishment, not you. There’s no reason to fix them in any way not to pay out. If they just put in a completely random number generator which didn’t change regardless of whether it had just paid out or not it would still make money.

People thinking they can beat the system is where the money is made, not by rigging the system.

They aint rigged, same as a normal casino board - it's jsut that the odds are stacked masivly in the establishments favour. 37 targets and they pay 36-1, more often than not people cover multile selections without picking the winning number so cash soon builds up out of the punters pocket.
Gambling is good fun in moderaton, and a great feeling when you (infrequently) beat the bookies; they're there to make money, simple as! Mak sure you only got £20 in your pocket if you still wanna go the bokies and know when to quit!

Stay well clear of them. Im only 18 and have blew 200 quid in about 10 minutes on them, went straight the bank and took another 200 out i an unplanned overraft meaning i got charged a fucking fortune. I wo the money back by a simple 100 on red twice, it was fucking silly and im not doing it again. By time i had paid the ank the 200 back about ten minutes later i just had charges to pay which left me about 120 ot of pocket

You don’t have to steer clear of them, like jonesinamillion said, in moderation gambling is fine and fun. If you’re willing to spend 200 in 10 minutes then go chasing it with another 200 you’re either loaded and can afford to lose it or you have a gambling problem.

Or had spent the last 6 hours in the pub and thought it would be an easy winner.
Bet on the football and horses, a bit more reliable than owt else.

My mate is hooked on them, he calls them 'smack machines'

[Maccca100]

they are horrible, but if a number appears twice along the top it will always come out a 3rd time, still i am thousands down on them, so talking bollocks again haha
