I hate going to arcades and have never been to a casino but I do like the slots, I play what I can afford and its good fun. The jackpots are much better and you can play for as little as 1p. I have good runs but always lose my small modest stake of £5. But I consider the fun aspect and I'm extremely strict with myself. Has anyone come away with a healthy profit. Or are the slots fixed? I could easily waste £5 on fags or booze, but I don't

Fags are not good for you, so don't waste money on them.

If you use a reputable site then the fruit machines are not fixed if by fixed you mean that they are crooked.
Paddy Power has a number of machines which have a payout of over 90%. They can afford to allow the results to be completely random since they are assured of a small percentage win.
You might be lucky and win a relatively large sum. This is actually good for the casino as you are tempted to play on and also to tell your friends about this. But the fact remains that the amount returned on average is less than the amount staked so the casino is assured of some winnings to cover the cost of running the site.
Controlled betting as you describe is OK. You expect to lose but are willing to pay for the entertainment. A big win would be a bonus. I hope you get one soon.

Course they're fixed!!! Play games where you can actually SEE the money (eg "penny falls"), & you might just get lucky. You still leave with no money, but at least it lasts longer!!!

yes, they are mostly cheating you. Try looking for the more accepted sites like Piggs Peak
