How Fruit Machines Were Beaten - Part 14 | The Barrings Of 2008 | Great Recession Problems!

[@peteglobe23]

I started professionally playing in 1991,,, I started tooling in 1997,, by the time 2008 came I was full time tooling and was part of the big problem for operators and players at that time,, Guilty as charged😂,,but I must say those red gaming looked fantastic to play with those speed mega buttons on them,,I remember you calling me near the start of your channel but I couldn’t tell you at the time about the trick I was on at that time but can now,, it was literally going up to machine and tapping in a code into the hold buttons to get wins,,my best trick ever to date,had it for years,, there’s been so many tricks and scams on machines by so many different groups or individuals up n down the country it’s unreal,, love your videos mate, gad a blast last week at mr p,s and at the conference in London,, keep em coming,💪💪💪

[@oabgamblingchannel]

Nice one Pete. Hope you’re good mate. Yeah I remember you saying about it a while back, glad it was a nice lil earner for you pal

[@Cash-Attack]

Amazing series mate ! Brings back so many memories of the old days and what I did 😊

[@oabgamblingchannel]

Thanks mate. Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@k6kaysix675]

Modern Betcoms essentially the same idea, insert money, stick on a quid, press Start a lot, get Mega Streak, collect 100/150 out of the machine in what 20 minutes max...great when you're in a fire pub and inserted a load of notes only for the machine to think nah and pay the entire bank out in coins!

[@dondplayerdaz1690]

Worse than that it tries to pay out a note and the dreaded note error - now you've got to bring attention to yourself when you tell the staff 😬

[@ellisjames8517]

I remember back in the day the spoons would have 6 or 7 bandits in and you could clean them out one after the other and they didn’t even care in the big establishments

[@mrb018538]

Never been barred from a spoons in all my years playing either. The one here I’d go in 2/3 times a week and half the time wouldn’t even buy a drink. Staff in there literally didn’t care 😂

[@dondplayerdaz1690]

Indeed spoons is one place you can walk in and just go straight up to the machines even now. TBF I do normally get a drink but it's not necessary

[@rosskemponcheeseburgers9590]

@@rayfinkle2805 depends what time of day it is i guess,doors you kinda have to buy a drink other than that I personally don't bother unless I want one.

[@jonathanwelch1221]

Was there anything on dond tripple? Still got one

[@oabgamblingchannel]

They were very good games mate. I’m a long way off doing those games though but will probably talk about them in the coming months etc

Loved the video thanks for making the video please keep making them

[@danielscales534]

How can I post a screen shot on your comments of a machine I want to know if anyone knew the trick on in the mid 90s. ? Called open the box. And all similar ones. Made a bloody fortune down Margate and stuff . Would love to share it. Totally legal and just emptied them all totally every time.. been following you for a while now. Brings back some memories of my days .

[@oabgamblingchannel]

You’d probably have to save it somewhere accessible and then provide a link or provide a link to the picture online. Copy that into the comments mate

@@oabgamblingchannel kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWSQgHpsar6mf5I Do you ever remember these . There was about five differ types. All the same .. basically refuse any win till it keeps nudging then nudge in 2.20 every time.. exchange for 8 seconds to nudge ( nudge timer) everyone went for jackpot.. no no no . nudge in the lines on the right hand site . Like 3 lines of 7 or 3 likes of 10 whichever line you could get .. .. each line was a different feature .. once you get it going it dropped in nudges every go and you just repeated it every spin , either a line of the same numbers or 2.20 to exchange for nudge timer . Then but in a row of numbers.. It just basically dumped till empty.. I hit Margate and all the arcades in the Medway towns for 4 months till they all got removed.. my word what a four months that was.. thousands .. I was only 20 years old each Machine was about 65quid .. our first day down Margate 3k .. anyway just wanted to share 👍👍

[@rothesaylad]

I remember the old roulette machines in Ladbrokes , when you picked your numbers then had a split second you could see where the ball would land if if was going to be a big win you would leave it but when it was a loss you could turn the machine off at the wall😀

[@scottpeplow3845]

When I went round pubs I’d always wear a beanie hat or similar and when I started to play on a machine id put my hat in the tray. This silenced the coin drop and landlords were most of the time no the wiser.

[@benthebossjackson4388]

Awesome as always :D used to love doing these :D

[@Henrylatham82]

This really is an amazing series. Fully enjoying it!

[@oabgamblingchannel]

Thank you! I’m glad a few people are enjoying this series.

[@kkrispy2009P]

Great insight OAB

[@samstone4520]

Would be interesting to know your opinion on machines now like how you remember 2008 so well :)

[@oabgamblingchannel]

Shit 😆

[@user-ol7pf8ke7r]

Reel based fruits are a dead game now …. Most players have to travel 100s of miles to play a few machines .. back in the day you could leave your house and check your local high streets n back street boozers to make a living .

Guess someone had to ask this, in those days, musta been pound coin payouts, no notes? What the feck you do with all the coins, had somewhere specific, you changed them all?

[@oabgamblingchannel]

You’d find yourself with a lot of £1 coins which I personally kept in vast quantities under my bed. However, I did try and spend with them as much as I could and change up where I could. It was a hard battle 😆

[@mrb018538]

I kept mine at home too. Had about 4 grand worth on my window sill at one point. Other than that I’d change them up for my local social club, saved them lugging them all back from the bank and they were happy to have them!

[@jamietowse7984]

did you ever do the £50 bingos?

[@oabgamblingchannel]

As in the skill game?

[@jamietowse7984]

@@oabgamblingchannel yes mate, still a few in certain areas, but floated so low and arcades on top. Was unreal that.

[@adamwallis4752]

I remember trying to fuck someone up on a game an it gave him a bonus to get on feature gave him respin so I held the two jackpots for him an it come in 😮😮 £100 jackpot too. 😅😂 I was well pissed off

[@alanmorgan2770]

Do you ever regret the impact playing had on your social life ?? Me and my mate were similar to yourself always hammering reds, but they always got in the way on nights out especially if you had a friend who wasn't interested, or you didn't have much money and it didn't go well !!! I do to a degree.

[@oabgamblingchannel]

Yeah 100%. This would be its own video and I chose money over a lot of things; especially on a night out. Bad times really, but money talks

[@alanmorgan2770]

@@oabgamblingchannel fair play, I often reflect on it and think it was stupid, I know caused argument too, but being young and stupid I can't be too hard on myself !!
