Fruity - that's the word! I've been out of the UK long enough to forget. The Australian pubs have entire "VIP Lounge" dedicated to the "Pokies" and brings in a lot of money for them. But the challenge of those machines isn't there - there is something very addictive about the UK fruit machines. A mix of the gambling addiction plus general game-playing addiction trying to upskill and win better. I new many 16 year olds pumping serious coin into them, getting better but still losing. I also heard of people who could make money from them (although $/hour wasn't too hot), although not sure whether to believe that.
