They are definitely getting worse, especially the FOBTs, fortunately I don't go in as much since the roulette was cut as you can't really win big on FOBT slots, the jackpots are rare and most time the bonuses are shite and it just drains your wallet. Trouble is they are everywhere and unlike online slots you can't just do a blanket ban and stop, they are on streets, motorway services, everywhere.

Used to have problems driving past a motorways services everyday, my car would just drift in to the park and I would walk out an hour or two later not even having had a coffee :-) Tried to ban myself without success, the 18 year old girl behind the WH Smith counter had no idea, the guy running the slots was unhelpful and who the hell carries a photo in their wallet and wants to stand in a busy services anyway filling out a form in front of a dozen people saying "I have a gambling issue here"

Master plan - went in 3 nights in succession, nobody on the machines, turned them all off :-) All of a sudden the douchebag who didn't want to help me block myself appeared and told me I as banned :-)

Wow - just watched a new video on you tube, streamer got to maximum hive, put in £1000 to try to get the hive to pop at £2.

He eventually got there with around £40 quid left and won............£45

I recall when it first came out there were some astronomical wins on that slot, there's one for tin foil hat brigade to consider. You would honestly think that with the amount of time and effort it takes to get to that point the programmers would at least have the decency to programme in a half way decent minimum

There is no such thing as a pro raise to be honest. Based onnthe premise that every spinnis independent of each other, if you up the stake and it comes in its actually a lucky raise

That idea is right up there with tier has come in 4 times so an orphan must be due :-) Many a martingale strategy has died an expensive death using that principle
