I know this isn't strictly "on-line casino" related but I don't see a more suitable forum (sorry if I am blind) and wanted to ask if any members here play the machines in the betting shops here in the UK?
I had not set foot in a bookies until earlier this year when I got a £10 shop voucher after playing on-line at Coral. I played Rainbow Riches at 50p a spin, first 10 spins hit absolutely nothing and I laughed at how poor the odds must be compared to on-line - but then I hit £65.00 a couple of spins later (in the main game too!) I walked away with that, as it was enough to make a difference to me that day, but of course that intrigued me enough to go back.
Since then I have tried the machines at Ladbrokes (terrible luck, never won a thing) and William Hill (some good, some bad). I mostly play the blackjack now, but I'd be interested to hear if anybody knows which bookies has video poker with a half decent pay table (double double bonus preferably?) or the best slots and/or versions of blackjack etc? The Microgaming and NetEnt games are not available anywhere to the best of my knowledge are they? I'm not really a fan of roulette, though that does seem to be the most popular game by a long way here in Leeds.
I'd most like to know - is ANYBODY lifetime ahead on these machines? Do you believe the games are fair? Which machines have robbed you blind and which have given you the odd good weekend?
