We played Bullseye the arcade game!

This is how it went:

First dart: Food and Drink for 50 25 points. Q: What is Vodka made out of, Cheese slices or Potatoes?

a: Potatoes.

Second dart: We had activated 'Specail Throw' or something. So Bully ( the machine) used it's electronic brain to chuck all our darts, nailing us a 76 finish and in the process getting us onto the prize board.

Third dart: I nailed the bull for £5 straight away.

We put 50p in and played for about 30 seconds.

Happy days.

Sometimes the games just pay up for nothing dont they?

That's how Lewis got hooked on Hollyoaks, poor blighter.

Although he did nail Elize Du Toit, so I dont know why I'm giving him any sympathy.

I used to live and work in a pub, and one afternoon we had a football fruit machine delivered. I put in about 2 quid, and got the £15 jackpot 3 times in a row. Then I got pissed.

That wasn't that uncommon, as the machines always arrived set to pay out quite frequently-until the landlord realised he could change this (he actually turned one machine off when my brother had £30 sitting in the bank).

Gambling isnt one of my vices (luckily) - but ive had some good moments.

I recall a birthday a few years back, I was now skint after a day of drinking, there was this furit machine called 'on the buses' - on one of the reels s a symbol of man named stan, I love stan. if this single symbol spins in on the centre reall, u can
A. go to the board.
B. you can run around the board and never lose - now i only knew this because someone had shown me

so

Kaching!

£20 jackpot!

I remember one guy had a real problem with the fruit machine at my local-one night he pumped £70 into it, and wouldn't let the landlord close up until 1am-and that was only because he ran out of money. He was back up at lunch time the next day, and stuck in about £30 more. All that for a £15 jackpot, the tool.
