you done well to be able to watch your mates playing the machines and you not needing to!
if u done it before u can do it again!
GOOD LUCK

Yes mate, when you start changing notes etc, you think "well it's taken X amount now, it must be gonna pay something out soon..." and sometimes it doesn't.
I'm pretty good at getting a payout, I just don't sop. Last night I won back all my cash bar £2 when I had about a pound left. Then, instead of thinking "that was a lucky escape" I banged it into the next machine
How stupid eh? I probably could have made that pay out if I'd had more cash on me, but then again it might not have and I could have lost more.
always the way.
but at the end of the day, the house always wins!
i dont know anyone who plays the fruit machines who is up over all.
a mate of mine got hocked because he stuck 20 quid in 1 day and won over 100. the problem was that was the only time he had more than he started with, and within a week or 2 he had lost his 100 quid. plus a lot more.
Like some one said, youve done the hard bit, realised there is a problem. and also you know that nothing is guaranteed with them. even if they have been fed money all night and not paid out. it dont mean their gonna.
just remember that next time your thinking about playing one.
