Please stop me from gong insane!!

Ok…so I am trying to keep track of what is going in my fruit machine versus what its paying out to see if its paying out to much, its set at 74% payout. Last night I had £10 to play, so I put £5 in and won £8, I took £5 out and played the other £3 and won nothing. I then put the other £10 back in an...

Thanks so just so I know for future if hopper goes out of synch with dumping etc is it best to dump hopper twice does this reset it to zero? As when I first dumped hopper it said I was short by 211 so I started filling it and expected it to start at 250 but it didn't. Only when I dumped it twice in ...

I don't have 250 to put in, so if it counts down then I guess it's working OK now and will now only overflow when there is more than 250 In the hopper?

Does this sound right? Re filling machine

Hi all I mentioned in my previous thread that my fruit machine (barcrest Pacman power up) was putting pound coins into the bottom tub even though the hopper was no where near full. I was unsure on how to correct this and after playing about this is what i did. I attached 2 fobs to the sensors and ac...

I have just had another thought.. I noticed today when I opened the bottom part of the machine where the power pack is and the 2 coin trays are that in one tray there was 50p, 20p etc like I expected to see but in the other there was lots and lots of pound coins. When I first got the machine the blo...

You know what I think I have made a mistake.. I left 25p in overnight and when I switched the machine on this morning the 25p showed up but then vanished... So I assumed it had forgotten.. However when I just switched it on again and again it showed me the 25p and I realised it's set on 50p ago, as ...

Possible barcrest fruit machine problem

Hi all I might have an issue with my barcrest pacman power up fruit machine. I have a feeling it's paying out more than it should but can't find out how to check and change this. However and I might be wrong here but I thought another reason it might be paying out to much is the internal battery not...

I also have a Barcrest pacman game, im hoping it can be converted to support the new pound coin when it comes out, any ideas roughly how much it would be to convert a machine over to accept the new coin?
