Fruit machines

What's your thoughts on these? I have a massive addictive personality and have been in some very low places due to these things.

Ever since I was 15 I was always on them. We'd go to the pub and I'd not even speak to anyone and stay on there all night. When you sit there they just call you with the flashing lights. There a nightmare because you can have a bet on the footie or horses and its drawn out a bit. Fruit machines though you can have £10 or £20 gone in 3 mins!!! £1 a spin now FFs!!!

Plagued my life for years these things have. For the moment it's controlled but its f*cking hard.

I prefer a bet myself, but the online fruit machines are especially dangerous.

Anything that's on line like, on line poker, or on line fruit machines, on line bingo, on line roulette I think is dodgy ground as they are computerised!!! Anything that has a computer programme attached to it is dodgy ground!! That's my thought on it.

Yes I know Craig that what I was trying to sum up!!

I notice now that the top of the machine has more focus rather than the reels. Just to keep folk involved.

Don't get me wron I have put like £3 in and won £150 with the mega streak but that is rare!! Would rather stick with the footie or horses. I got 5 goals in the Chelsea game and its 5 now!!! Bet you they score again!! Fecking kents

I know what your saying mate.

It's like entertainment for me!!! Bloody expensive entertainment.

I notice people just keep going and not take any win. They keep going until they lose and then go again but again not take anything. They just keep doing that until they get the big one!!! I've heard that's the best way to play them but you need a 1 er to have a pop!! It could easily just eat your £100 though!!! Mad mad things

I'm one of those people haha !! You need more than 100 tho haha , I always up my bets as well so start of at 30 then up it to 40 etc , until I'm spinning out 60 pound a spin !!

I won big a few times like 2 grand once , but that been like 3 times , an I always chase the grand target , I'm not happy with 180- 250 it is pure greed i am a. Greedy ****

But now I haven't played them in 2 months been in bookies but stick to 5 pound football a week , and that's my lot ,

Just think what you could be spending your money on e.g clothes toys for kids !! Worked for me !

I posted a similar topic a few weeks back, I was bored and decided to have a go on the online Roulette machines.

I done £60 in minutes :shock: :shock: ...Lesson Learned and will never indulge again.

Polo gave some good insight into the Evil of these machines. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

You don't have a sense of money when it is on these machines , because it on the computer , that's why if people want to gamble then I would say go to a casino as you will be a better judge with your money !!

I know they ain't fixed but it feels like these machines can be sometimes !!
