Buying FRUIT MACHINES on line / Ebay...help / advise needed!
Bit of an 'OFF CAR TOPIC POST HERE' BUT.....dunno wether anyone on here has bought one before for home use but I thought I's ask first!!! 
I'm interested in buying one or two and have been scanning Ebay for weeks now but I want it so that I put money in it, etc and get money out!!!!
....it would be a laugh for when the mates come round...so i can fleece them for their money...or maybe not!!!
BUT the following statement comes up most times on the auctions...
"EBAY PLEASE NOTE TO COMPLY WITH YOUR RULES AND THE GAMING BOARD OF GREAT BRITAIN,THE COIN MECH AND PAYOUT SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN PERMANENTLY DISABLED AND REMOVED ,AND THE MACHINE IS SOLD FOR HOME USE ONLY 18 YEAR OLDS+ ,YOU WILL BE ASKED TO SIGN A DISCLAIMER TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE,THANKYOU ,PLEASE E-MAIL IF YOU REQ FURTHER ADVICE OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS."
sooo.....does this mean that you just turn the machine on....you play on 'free play' you win money in the pot on screen BUT don;t actually get any money out of it?!?!?!?
if this is the case.....1) I don't see the point and 2) anyway of getting it fixed so it DOES pay in / pay out money?!?!?
Anyone know of any good places to get these from APART from Ebay?!?!?
P.s. it will be used for PURE HOME USE for me and my mates!!!
cheers

buy it and use it as a learning tool, my friend did this, infact he bought 20 of them 
then sat and studied the way they worked, played them for years 
Eventually he started on the cruise ships, boarded them on monday and played the fruit machines, came back wednesday a few grand heavier.
He did that for ages until he was banned from all ferries in the UK, then he hit casinos and got banned eventually the companys that made the machines were offering stupid amounts of money for him to work for them, he currently works for Barcrest as a games designer pulling over 250k a year

just download the emulator and all the ROMs
www.fruitemu.co.uk
www.fruit-forums.co.uk
www.dxcellent.com
There are a few emulators, depending on what make.
MPU 3/4 (Barcrest)
JPEMU (JPM)
BFM (BellFruit etc)
They are the exact ROM's from the machines.
