But we are straying from the main point which is why is nobody providing machines that pub patrons actually want to play? Pub clientele is not Arcade clientele, is not Casino clientele. Most people don't want to spend hours mastering a machine, but if putting a few coins in gives the fun of getting a few coins back, loads of casual players would start playing again.
Sorry Mr Dog not got time to post a full reply at this moment in time, will catch up with this thread properly and post a more considered reply in due course.
However, I have covered your basic question there many times on my channel over the last year. (TL: DR - Stakes and jackpots got too big, far too many 'player advantage' methods that left bugger all for average punters to play for, clearly rigged gambles and features etc.)
Here's a starter for ten though, the 'pub machine' market is actually very healthy here on the Isle of Man, but we have different legislation to the UK which allows random machines with a £500 jackpot to be sited in the pubs here, and they do very, very well. In this video I discuss how the traditional pub fruity is nearly extinct on the Isle of Man now, but random games are doing a booming trade......
