Notable quotes
“It almost felt like they were on a sprung floor together that like was feeling the vibration of each other... I felt like when someone was nudging machine next to me I was feeling the vibration on the machine even though the back boxes weren't touching”
“Usually at pump and dump you have to go and it's just who has the most money who wins because it's someone who's just throwing in credits. And you can do that in this instance, but you don't have a better chance than someone else.”
“I had stuff in there the 40s... I was able to rule out a couple of machines where like, I had played Pulp Fiction once. It went great. I got 2 million points. It was 75 points, which was far my best score.”
“The best attempt was the third. The first one was medium. The second one was terrible. The third one was great. And then the fourth and ongoing all are extremely close to one another.”
