I put my I.J & a Hankin 20" table in the Shamrock hotel, Guess what happened....The Kitchen caught fire & the pub was burned out. Lucky for me the machines had a brick wall & a void which saved the machine. I would have lost both machines as there was no insurance on them.
I also placed some machines at the Commercial hotel in Rup & they went belly up. I had to fight the administrators to get my machines back, They had some weird idea that the games belonged to them. So, I advise caution when siting machines now. Get some legal forms signed so you know were you stand.
mate you sure had some bad luck in your travels
