Fruit Machines! They're everywhere these days! Train Stations, Cafe's, Chippies, Bowling Alleys - You cant get away from them, the reason being......They generate hundreds for the owners. No matter how good you think you are at them, they will always win in the end. They arent programmed to be pure luck, skill or random, they are set to a certain percentage to pay out. The majority of people still think today that fruit machines are luck, and come out with the odd line...

"Look! if only you had 1 nudge you could of got the Jackpot"......They are even programmed to do this.

The average percentage for a fruit machine to be set at is 78%. This means that for every pound (£1) a person puts a machine, the average rate of return will be 78p. So in theory, you have lost 22p straight away. but of course this is only on average.

Machines of recent are gettin more and more complex, not even the regular players have a clue how to play. They are much more Hi Tech than your american machines and OXO machines, which can take days to figure out how to play, but this also meaning costing you money at the same time.

Your basic machine you'll see in a pub will be either 25p a go £15 jackpot, or 30p/£15 jackpot, which in itself is a lot just for one press of a button. But a recent change in law has allowed the jackpot to be £25 in pubs, and upto £500 in Bookies.

One of the main rules to remember is to never put in what you cant afford, also never to chase your losses, because its likely you'll end up losing a lot more. But the best tip is basically just not to play, because it is so easily addictive, and find that your putting in pound after pound. Fruit machines are for mugs, the industry has gone beyond greedy, but theres that many people out there that continue playing, its keeping the whole monopoly going.
