Quicksilver

Based near Queens Square, Quicksilver is a place that we went as students to try and gamble for more cash on a night out. It’s full of bandit machines, digital slot machines and old grannies with bags of pound coins whittling away their pensions.
They entice you into the venue with offers such as £3 or £5 free plays when you play that amount on a machine, and occasionally they give out scratch cards which offer cash prizes in machine credit. Some of the machines have £500 jackpots, which we won one day, after playing with about £20 between two of us, which was very lucky. We were then told that the venue had no pound notes left to exchange with us, so we had to traipse through town with £500 in pound coins!
As a student, it’s worth popping in for a laugh with a couple of quid, they give out free crisps, chocolate bars and hot drinks, so if you’re a top scav, go in and spent 50p, and you’ve got a cheap, unhealthy lunch!
