A little preface in that I have never managed to make any machine do this before or since, nor do I know enough to replicate it, but here goes.
> Be 20
> Be on motorway with father, and stopping at motorway to have a go at the silver 777 FOBT Barcrest machines.
> Randomly playing and winning (and - obviousy losing!) for about 5 minutes.
> Hit 3 Jacks for 50p (on rainbow riches I think?) - Themed notification
Win paid: £100
> 'What the hell?!'
> Next 4 wins of any value also do this.
> Be very happy.
> Switch game to elvis.
> FIrst five wins on ELVIS also do this.
I literally have no idea what we did or if it was due to pay jackpots anyway and did it in a very funky way or what. Still a top memory of mine.
Conversely that same day we got 100 free spins on a FreePlay 500 and it paid £10.
Can't win em all eh?
That sounds like quite the adventure! I do have a soft spot for that Fobt rainbow riches
Since we are on the subject of services Fobts, I walked past a machine on Genie Jackpots with £8 credit and no one about. I put it on £2 stake and won £100 on the first press with a mega symbol feature. My missus saw it though and I had to give her some money lol.

Not slot related but remember putting £1.25 oh a virtual horse (hurdlewood valley) in ladbrokes was due £40 odd quid back as it was 40/1 and that was my very last £1 that week handed the slip in and she pulled out the £20 notes 1 2 3 4 5 6 i thought shes taking the piss out me here .... anyway money went down on the counter £400ish pound looked up still expecting her to say just testing you before i knew it i was out the front door lit up my 2nd last fag and didn't go in for about 3 months :) Got the stellas in bottle of rum another pack of fags and everything was tickety boo haha
Not a motorway slots, many years ago i was in a pool/snooker club for a tournament, but i played the slot machine the whole time as it kept paying out, i would empty it & the owner would fill it up again, this happened 4 times before he turned it off, he told me sometime later that it had somehow had the payout turned up to 111%, great weekend for me though

Probably get flamed for this but that's a pretty douchebag move to my mind. That woman was just doing a day job trying to feed her family and may have lost her job over that.
Still as long as you slept well that night.
Good story!! Can never seem to win on them in services lol! My best one was in snooker club on casino crazy 250 jp bandit put a quid in 4 7s drop in think It was £15 collected because it was on a 6 to gamble for the board... next press straight in with a board got up to 30 win spins which is usually ok was going to collect when my twat of a friend hit start "thankfully!" Landed on win spins and gave jackpot 🤣🤣...

It's the shop's reasonability to check the winnings not ours ..
I once saw a guy play a machine in a bookies in door open test mode. He got the machine up to a grand and honestly thought he was getting it .
Used to see a guy in there who would dump his kids in the kiddies play park alone and the come in play spiker the biker for 6 hours. He had zero clue wtf he was doing on it board first press 4 collect 3 quid, He might as well of just given me and my friend the money. His missus caught him doing it and went frigging mental as you would, He ended up losing his business due to addiction..
Wow, those are sad stories tbh, first the lady that probably loose her job and then the man that lost his business. I had a neighbor that lost his house because of Bingo and Casino. The best thing is to set an especific amount to gamble and never cross that limit
