Fruit Machine Chat

Hey all.

I haven't played any fruities (or been in the pub much, to be honest) for about a year now. Are there any specific new machines out there worth a pop for the casual player?

I like the STEAK machines, Mmmmm, steak...........

'COS VILLA JUST STUFFED YA AND SILENCED THE KOP!

Any one tried these bad boys yet? http://id3.doritos.co.uk/ It's definately Roast Beef, they smell exactly like Roast Beef Monster Munch. Incidently, someone stabbed me in the neck with both a dorito, and a mccoys crisp. The mccoys inflicted more damage. Just a tip if you find yourself being attacke...

Just wanted him to know he's doing a great job. I like his little beard. I think he should wear tighter trousers...............

There is a spider in my fruit machine, honest. It must think it's on an LSD trip when I switch it on. Plus there are no flies in there, and I don't feed it, but it's still alive. I haven't told it yet, that I'm scared of spiders, that would make things awkward between us. It lurks in the hopper, rid...

Thanks a lot guys. I took the hopper out, dismantled it, cleaned it, rotated the coin wheel inside, and voila! It's the first thing I've taken apart and managed to put back together again!

I'm going to try removing it later, taking the plastic divider off and manually turning the yellow wheel which holds the coins, see if anything is jammed...

I've always found removing the plastic sheath off my pepperami very disturbing......

Was just using my machine. During payout (enough coins inside to cover) I got the following message

alarm 17-83
pnd opto blocked
tamper

Would this be a problem with the hopper? Easy to fix?

It is a Barcrest Golden Dragon machine.

Thanks for any help.

I'd love to climb inside a fruit machine and lurk there until somebody plays it, then I'd annouce in a robotic voice "I has all your monies now - be gone!" Then I'd beep a few times and maybe poke my tongue out of the coin slot. This would be great fun in a sea-side arcade to scare all the...

Hi Board! I've just got my hands on my first fruity, a 2001 Barcrest 'GOLDEN DRAGON' machine, and would appreciate a couple of questions answered. 1. How to I perform a Hopper Dump to clear the £1 coins from the machine? 2. I have a refill key, but when turned, display just says 'refill'. Is this no...
