Coin pusher psychology
The £5 is positioned in such a way they you really think it will fall when in fact it won't. Eventually it may give, it would be illegal if they rigged it to never fall but unless people report this practice, it goes unnoticed. It is possible they can get caught with snap inspections but I think those inspections are very rare if at all.
Had a spare half hour. Haven't been in an arcade in a while so went on the coin pusher. Only threw away £2, I know they are rigged to the houses favour. Not only do the trays have raised lips to make it harder for coins to drop, they have their "banks" either side that goes to the owner. And they have dip switches to also control payouts.
These ones on Worthing pier are set just right as they "appear" to pay out a lot to keep you playing, sometimes dropping coins when not even playing. This creates the psychology of "I'll give these free coins a go. Oh look, that £5 is on the edge" and before you know it's you've spent £6 try to get that £5 note.
Got no objections to these machines, they are fun. But don't let YouTubers fool you in believing their is a "system" to beat theses, they're isn't.

The Playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL96F5PDvO1HGg19JPpS27hcQAItjimQ4g
First attempt at a Let's Play. I'm not the best speaker in the world but just thought as I really enjoy playing it, why not just record it and upload it. It oddly makes it a bit more enjoyable because speaking about what I'm doing makes me think more carefully about what I'm doing.
Due to having slow internet speeds all these are unfortunately pre-recorded. But don't let that stop you commenting.
Special thanks to DasTactic for his excellent guide for YouTube video creation (really helped with the thumbnails and the Handbrake settings)

LGR was the inspiration for the town name. I've not put it in the title of the videos for fear of people thinking I'm using it as click bait or to create false searches (which I'm not). I didn't think of that issue until after I'd named the town.

And the inspiration for trying Perma Death and No Turrets came from watching Vanilla PC Strategy:

Came over dark and the sky went slightly red. Apparently it was Saharan dust, which we get during the summer and sand gets left on the cars.

BILL
bill-gates-deposition-1998-part-2-of-12
As Internet Explorer has turned 25 on 13th August 2021 I'm sticking these up. They are a very interesting part of history.
For the full story check out the wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Corp.
Basically, from what I remember and I remember seeing this on the news at the time, Microsoft was pulled up by the US government at the time for antitrust because they were forcing IE on users and using their monopoly to kill other popular browsers (Netscape being one of those at the time) off. I remember hearing they lost their case and that it was possible they were going to be order to breakup Microsoft. That never happened.
At some point, the Bill Gates deposition videos were released and are a very interesting insight into the main man behind Microsoft and how he dealt with the questioning.
These are a part of Microsoft history and computing history and need to be preserved.
