I don't understand them and find them boring. Had a mate who I ended up avoiding as all he'd do when we went for a pint was park himself at a fruit machine and plough coins into it, ignoring everyone that was with him.
I equate fruit machines with the archetypal "pub bore".
Yep, I got removed from the thread. Okay, I used a naughty word, as many do on here all the time, a word I might add that isn't even censored on here at any other time. I guess you pay yer money you can get people to shut up while your trying to sell them a questionable scheme. Boring thread...
Don't the attraction and very, very few people come out on top in the long run. I can see the fun in the odd flutter but gawping at a fake roulette wheel on your iPad or even worse, spending hours down the bookies.
Fruit machines in pubs are inherantly depressing.
