Seriously, Who The Fuck Cares?!

Assuming everything you say is genuine, which is already hard enough to believe... You are NOT winning.

Not only have you somehow managed to delude yourself into thinking these machines are conveniently placed there to provide you with free beer money, you also keep enticing others for months to give this addictive losing game a go just to provide you with some useful fedback and feed back into your own delusions.

You are clearly completely clueless and oblivious as to how these work, like you keep saying yourself. You have clearly not cracked the machines and aren't even remotely close to doing it so it's obviously all down to dumb luck and the ONLY intelligent thing is to quit while ahead.

If these are addiction loop machines running on dopamine reward fuel and compulsive urges (BY DESIGN BTW), then by that definition you are NOT winning, you've already lost the moment it became an obsession.

Worst of all, like others have implied a number of times by now, ironically you keep answering the same question that you keep repeating, whilst ignoring everyone that is trying to talk some common sense into you.

There's that very famous gif, does that look like "a bit of fun" or does it look sad. You say you keep winning but are you sure you don't look and feel like a loser in every sense of the word when you're doing it.

By paying out about 85p for every £1 played, but it's done in lumps not 85p per spin, so it's pure luck if you happen to get some, or not.

It's absolutely the same as the backing horses at -ev. Short/med term profit is about luck, after that the averages bite you in the arse. It's betting/trading 101. All you're doing is backing on spins at -ev instead of on a horse. If you don't get that then ffs don't even think about trading or betting.

Yes, I felt bad for linking to that fruit machine forum, that was probably a mistake.

I'm just puzzled how the economics of it actually work.

I've seen people walk away with £100 and other people lose £150.
You've answered your own question.
