Your refil key will work on pretty much any machine, but is does beg the question , WHY DONT MANUFACTURERS MAKE UNIQUE REFIL KEYS FOR EACH MACHINE?

They aint much use anyway , the whole world and his wife has refil keys these days, and everyone knows all the tricks.

Back in my day having a refil key was fairly rare....still they can be useful though for checking hopper levels etc before playing

The real hustle refill key that can display money in, money out, actual and target %age.

You notice the axe was SOOOOOOOOOO far behind target too, 2% I think, but over so many spins, must have been due for at least 5k!

Either that or Mr. Arcade owner turned up the %age setting before the filming in the hope of attracting some new custom.

Some are alarmed with MIDAS - which sets an alarm off behind the bar if you key a said machine.

Yes I know we've all heard about this years ago... but DOES it!??! I've keyed loads of MIDAS machines, and got no heat!

I also think that a lot of places just invest in a MIDAS sticker without the gear. Deterrent and miles cheaper i guess.

When I worked in an arcade many moons ago, one of the engineers would put the % right down to 72 on a couple of the lo-techs all week. We would shut up early on Tuesday's for the Wednesday morning empty and he would switch the percentages up as far as they would go. They went mental and streaked like ****. There were only myself, a manager and the engineer in on this so was easy money to be made. The owners who came to empty the machines NEVER checked the meters. Happy days.
