Beggers belief
On some P&O ferry or similar, on the way back from a long holiday on the continent, I was trying to while away the hours and desperately trying to ignore the hordes of obese, sunburnt Brits that are enough to make any proud englishman cringe at our his own national heritage. It was then that I witnessed an amazing scene; some lucky bugger had managed to win the jackpot on some fruit machine. And not just any jackpot, this seriously looked like hundreds of pounds, jangling out, overfilling the machine and flowing into the astonished punters grubby outstretched Tshirt. Needless to say this gathered quite a crowd of greedy-eyed onlookers, so with darting, suspicious eyes the winner fled for the duty-free and the safety of security guards.
Needless to say I was impressed and somewhat envious, though I have always felt those games were for mugs. Well, I thought, maybe not everyone who plays them is a moron.

Turns out I was wrong, as I then witnessed a group of excited chavs who started pouring coins into the SAME machine because: "Fuck man, this ones paying out!"

Headslap.

Machines
Don't just reset themself when they pay a Jackpot, especially not the big payout ones. And chavs are the one breed of creature who without exception know the workings of fruit machines. Maybe they weren't as stupid as you think!
