This paragraph applies equally
whether you play club fruit machines or pub machines. The first thing you
should do is scout your area and write down all the machines you have found.
Then you should disregard those machines with a poor rating or poor review, but
remember to check back to places regularly, machines are changed every 3 months
in most places. Once you have a concise list of places to go you need to learn
the guides. If these places are clubs you will also need to sort out
membership. Every pub and club is different. There will be clubs which have
players who just takes small wins and very often the machine is just waiting
for a pro to force out the jackpot. There will be pubs which are regularly
visited by pro-players and you will find them to never be profitable, simply
because a streak is always being forced out of a machine even if the player has
to do it at a loss to prevent someone else having it. You will have to learn to
select which places might be exclusive to you and offer the best winning
potential. This can take a few months to achieve but worth it if you are
dedicated. Some club members used to make £700+ per week and this came
about from being very organised and moxt imprtantly DISCIPLINED.
You need to get to know machines well enough to know when to walk away.
Some players find this difficult and that is why they will always be losers. If
you put £5 into a barcrest and it is obviously playing awful then walk
away, even if the machine is full. Once you have mastered the art of walking
away you are already half way to becoming a pro. Most pros will tell you
they play dozens of machines every day but the profit only comes from a few
machines. To put this in simple terms, you might play 20 machines, on 3 of them
you will make £50 and on the other 17 you will lose £5, your net
profit is £65. This is of course simplified and usually a good player
will win on a bigger proportion of machines than this. Some machines you can
only expect to make £10 - £15 profit on, but then you should try to
find as many as possible.
