(First time arcade) Man in arcade wants to "buy" my machine from me -...

Hello, I came across this forum through a search engine and wanted to ask something:

Today on my way back home, I drove on a country road past a modern gambling house. In front of it I saw several men smoking. Spontaneously, I put on the blinker and said to myself, "Come on, you do that now too". I had never been in an arcade before and wanted to check it out.

After I parked I went towards the electric doors. As I entered the building there was a hallway in front of me, at the end of which sat a woman behind the counter. I went up to her, introduced myself and asked about the process, the house rules and the T&C's of the offer. The woman looked at me as if I was from another planet, took a drag on her cigarette and handed me a very thick and heavy folder.

After checking out the lounge area, I went to two machines and slid 10 euros into both. After a short time, I started the game and had a series, "5 Oranges" on the second machine after a few pushes. With my stake, this resulted in a win of 50 euros. Satisfied, I nodded and said, "Great". I wanted to cash out the money and looked for the corresponding button on the machine.

All of a sudden, a man with a baseball cap (he was sitting behind me at the machine the whole time) came up to me. He said, "You done playing?". I said, "Exactly, won directly and that's enough for me". The man took out a 50 euro bill and said: "When you want I buy you from this". First I did not understand anything but then he explained to me that it is usual that one buys the machine from a winner who wants to stop but still has a sum on the machine. I then lose the machine, and get the corresponding amount.

I said: "I can NOT sell you this" and pointed to the entrance area where the woman sat. In the AGB's it said: "Business of any kind is forbidden between players". The man kept saying: "You're serious, that's normal yes", but I let him pay me the money. The man looked at me sharply when I then went towards the exit and called "Bye".

What do you think, could I have done that calmly or did I act right. LG

I used to go to arcades a lot and still rarely do. In several hundred visits, I personally have had a player try to buy my machine about 5 times, and I've witnessed it a few more times with others. It's certainly not common, but it does happen. In one case I even experienced that a player wanted to "sell" his machine, because he had to go urgently but had a lot of money on it. He then gave it away 100€ or so below value to be able to leave

From the principle you have acted correctly, since after new play regulation each player may play only with a player card at a machine, otherwise what should have happened to you? Would you have simply gone out with the 50€ that the other has given you, if then anyone would have gotten in trouble then the one who plays on more than one machine.

In principle, he has acted correctly Wettibernd?

" After I had read up in the lounge area I went to two machines and pushed 10 euros into both."
Did the do-gooder read something over in the AGB's?

And,
the gamblers (I assume that they were gamblers) stand outside to smoke....
but in the lounge the employee pulls on her cigarette?


And she handed him a very thick and heavy folder?
Probably a folder with the most beautiful fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm?


What do you think, could I have done that calmly or did I do the right thing?

You did everything right, at least when it came to advertising the offline stuff and screwing with people here!

You can see how important it is to pay attention to details.
This is how you expose storytellers.

1) In the ABG's it said that the rule with only one machine play, only for the devices of the TR 5.1 series apply. Freely playable machines (TR 5.0) such as the company Gauselmann may continue to be played by one person in addition to other devices.

2) On the subject of smoking, that was allowed in the rooms, but still stood in the parking lot some men and smoked, must have been no players, in the parking lot was still a furniture store, a gas station and a fast food store.

3) Do not know exactly what you mean by "Brothers Grimm", but in the folder were various house rules and also brochures on the game offer to find.

To everyone else, thanks for the answer!

That can't be right.
Smoking is absolutely forbidden in every Spielo.
There you can still tell so often that it was permitted in the rooms....that is not true.

That will probably vary from state to state, because here in Baden-Würrtemberg you are definitely allowed to smoke in ALL the Spielos I've been in so far (an estimated 30-50). Only one of them had a separate non-smoking area
