Fruit machines?? You mean a poker machine..well thats what we call them here that is..line up the cherries and stuff.
It's pretty random shit. I once won 750$ canadian in one night and spent 100$ to win that. But that was pretty luck. You gotta quit when the time is right. Try to not let the amount you collect be under the amount you spent. I play 20$ bills in it, not change.

Um, tips? It's totally random, it's designed to take your money. Don't play them, take up real poker with cards instead.

UK fruit machines are different, its all about rythem. Some guy I know spends ages in the arcade everyday basically, and he takes like £2-3 in there and leaves wih about £40. He knows every machine in there like the back of his hand.
I think he makes a living out of frruit mahcines.
And yeah higher, you have got to know when to quit, when I go into the arcade, I set myself a target, then when I have met that target, I leave.
Yesterday night I bought a 99p ebook from ebay displaying loads of cheats for them, and all about the diffrent rhythems of the different machines. Some interesting stuff.

Fuck fruit machines, too much about luck. I like to be in control of my money. As a wise man once said, the best kind of risk is always calculated, the key is making it appear not to be.

It is? Uh oh..I'm only 16..
Around here their called slot machines, and I wouldn't play em anyways when I get old enough to go to SCAM, just a waste of money really. I'll stick to card and dice games and all that shit.

I have people to do that sort of thing for me
I just put a pound in now and again and hit the buttons. Usually someone turns up and tells me what to do.

Yes gambling rehab programs exist. It is a very similar addiction to drug addiction. Like Alcoholics Anonymos (AA) Gamblers Anonymous (GA) also exist
