Classic Reels

Had to come on here & tell any potential visitors to Mr P's what a great experience I had today.

Moved back to Kent (Gillingham) last week after an 11 year exile in Coventry & have started work in Gravesend.  I'd visited a couple of small arcades in Gillingham/Chatham & been very disappointed (as is usually the case nowadays)- no oldies, no customers, grumpy staff etc.  As a result, I'd already walked past Mr P's once, on my way home from work, without bothering to go in, however, when walking past today I noticed the window display had a couple of reels from Andy Capp & Road Hog in the window.  I paused to peer through the window as I finished my cigarette & noticed an old favourite of mine, Cops'N'Robbers...  I couldn't throw my cigarette away quick enough!  I walked in & my eyes lit up at the sight of rows of machines I remembered from playing 'back in the day' & barely knew where to start!

I probably recognised 80%+ of the machines in there (& was overjoyed when I saw one of the old ACE 'Watch for my hidden treasures' games- Open The Box).  That series of ACE games were definitely my favourites, my all-time favourite being 'Camelot', hence my alias.  Within a minute of entering the arcade I was offered my £2 free plays, & an hour or so later got the chance to play an 'in-house' bonus game which won me TWENTY pounds worth of free plays!  I was playing another old favourite, Roller Coaster, & tried the old forcing tactics & at one point was £30 down.  I took a trip to a cashpoint & on the way back thought to myself, if someone had approached me & said, "Pay me £30 & I'll give you the opportunity to play all of these golden oldies", I would've paid him the money there & then!  The bloke working there assured me that if I persisted with Roller Coaster my patience would be rewarded, & sure enough, a short while later I got the top feature which paid me a healthy £60, leaving me in profit.

The service the bloke gave me was first class (apologies if you're reading this mate- I'm terrible with names!) & we chatted for hours about favourite machines, hidden tricks, our gambling experiences, etc, & there was a regular supply of free coffee & pop without me ever having to ask.  It was without doubt, my most enjoyable gambling experience in the last 20-odd years.  Every machine worked perfectly, the payout %'s seemed as good as I'd ever experienced before, & if I'd had the opportunity I'd still be there now, a good 11 hours after walking through the door!

I really can't speak highly enough of the place & the genuinely friendly service I experienced there.  It's quite obviously run by someone who loved playing the machines just as much as I did, if not more, and trust me, that really is saying something!!  I'm gutted I'm working so many hours over the next couple of days as I really can't wait to get back there.

I can assure you that absolutely everything this site claims is 100% true.  Believe the hype people!  If you're a lover of 80's/90's machines you HAVE to do whatever you can to pay Mr P's a visit because I can guarantee YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!
