Hi guys.

Play machines causaully and was just wondering how much money the hopper can actually take. Took £50 out of a DOND earlier and then the machine wouldnt take notes. How much would be in there if it isnt taking notes.

There is less than £100 coins in it if its not taking notes, a full hopper holds £350.

Most will go off when the level goes below £100, although some machines can be setup so that they will take notes even when out of coins, thats not often the case really, so standard rule of thumb is lights out at 100 quid or less hopper balance.

Most, (if not all?) 70jp fruits can hold £350 maximum, but again, can be floated at a lower level, there are suppliers out there who can and do float a newly sited fruit with just 70 quid in the hopper, which IMO isnt really enough not to expect it to run empty from time to time.

"Can be floated at a lower level" as demonstrated by Capital Coin.
