There was a trick around that - I used to , bunk of school - get the bus or train to Heathrow Airport - [ terminal 1,2 or 3 ] and in there they had Space Invader machines on carpets. Hmmmm - I used to rub my feet on the carpet, build up a static charge, put my finger close to the 10p slot - [ they were metal back then ] and minus one small shock later - loads of free credits !!

 

Used to work on other games too....

D'oh, wish I'd known that one - I would have saved a bl@@dy fortune!

 

That's the problem with being a kid out in the sticks, all this trickery malarky never filtered down to us country bumpkins...
