What is the dollar machine called which is really old school, has literal wheels spinning inside glass and you win free games by getting three boxing gloves.
You only see them every now and then. It groans and carries on when the wheels spin. Lol

I can beat that.

At my local a chap plays more than one machine using the "Gambling Help line" cards, neatly folded, to hold the "MAX BET" button down while he wanders through other machines.

:D

If you don't like it, change it. If you don't want to change it, it can't be that bad!

The only thing more impressive is the speed at which she hurls coins into it, before racing to the next one, repeat same cycle. Not above standing behind someone at a machine she wants and muttering louder and louder at them to move - even if its the only machine being used.


I love people like this, I purposely sit on their machine and if they give me Shite I play minimum bets until im bored, always good for a laugh!

The ones that play one machine then put a reserve sign up on it and play another machine for a half hour pee me off, especially when the process sometimes involves 5+ machines!

PS: I don't even know the name of my favourite poker machine..

Can win up to 100 frees spins.

Similar, at my work we often have people use play smart cards to hold the button down so they don't have to press it. They can just sit back, relax and watch it spin!

lol - Um it was OS who put me onto it a couple of years ago.

I had it on my old computer but never downloaded it when I got my new one.
So from memory just Google/search 'free Indian dreaming download' or similar to get it.
