Frosty Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Just wondered if there were any "players" or "casuals" on here. i only play occasionally and only started 6 or 7 years ago, so mainly play betcoms and a few deals, I dont know the full story with the Powerplays or Batman so I stay away. With the digital cabinets being a higher percentage, you would expect more players but generally I rarely see anyone play at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev40 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Not anymore but did up until couple of months ago. I started late 80's and never stopped till recently. I started at 2p £1.50 jackpots all the way up to £100 jackpots which we see today. They're pretty awful nowadays so i don't miss playing as all the good ones have just about gone. Red gaming were my favourites but used to love £4.80 and £6 jackpots paying tokens in early 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was certainly no expert playing but i didn't really start to lose much until last couple of years forcing mainly putting 140 or 150 in for a flat ton or 150 small profit. Before that had many free nights out. Tbh i just cba with them anymore and haven't played a pub slot for months. Arcades were starting to rip me on them bloody communities so binned them as well. Think i probably stopped at a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think i probably stopped at a good time. Even the last 4 or 5 years its a steep decline. The hidden away machines are normally going for 70 or 80 in, but theres only a few of those around, I only aim for a free day out really, dont know how anyone can make a living out of it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching a vid hypa uploaded and he was playing crazy pays and didn't have a clue lol. 7's heaven were great endless hours of fun. First slot i have played was a game called rat race 2p £1.50 jackpot. I was probably about 8 or 9 at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Я играю только изредка и начал играть всего 6 или 7 лет назад, поэтому в основном играю в беткомы и несколько сделок, я не знаю всей истории с Powerplays или Бэтменом, поэтому я держусь подальше. С цифровыми кабинетами более высокий процент, вы ожидаете больше игроков, но обычно я редко вижу, чтобы кто-то вообще играл. I've been playing for five years and can't stop( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
