    annoyed
    Hi. A bit of random thing to say but, I drink in my local pub and play on a fruit machine rarely but still do. I regulary see people put money in and loose. Today I was in there and its not the first time I saw the two landlords play the machine and won £120. Out of it. It really irritates me as they have an unfair advantage. What do you people reckon? Can I report them?

    I'm confused.

    Are they also putting in money to play the game?

    I'm with Enigma. Why do the landlords have an unfair advantage?

    You would have to look up the laws where you live to see if they are breaking any regulations.

    I think the 'unfair' advantage Chloe is referring to is that they are there watching people put money in and give up before the machine has a win and they have a better idea of the timing on when the machine will pay out. It is akin to the people in casinos who watch the slot machines waiting for someone to put a lot of money in but give up before the machine 'hits'. They swoop in and few turns later get the pay off without a large investment.
