Fruit Machine Chat

have seen these things advertised in a few places, cant really see people wanting to sell them if they are as effedtive as they say they are, if they were surely wouldnt people just empty machines all day? does anyone have any info on them. you can message me if you do not want to post on here. i only want to know so i can test one on my own machine of course. lol

They don't work, end of. People are just scamming people with keyfobs and other useless tat for a quick buck.

heres a so called jammer in action if anyones interested, never tried one myself and never would.

one of my mates bought one of these pieces of crap and all he ended up doing was gettin hoiked away by the five o. of course they dont work

fruit machines don't generally have any parts that work on RF (radio frequency). The exception being AFAIK barcrest S16 link ups - the pots were controlled over an RF link... so with these devices, what are you expecting to jam ?? Secondly, you can disrupt integrated circuits with a large enough electromagnetic pulse, but forget that unless you have some serious juice providing your pulse emitter. The only possible place that I know RF inteference works on fruits is attacking the hopper directly, which has no effect upon the fruit (barcrest S16 hoppers for example).

The Machineguard Uk site has been concerned about these for some time, if you look up the Machineguard Uk thread you will see details of a case we dealt with in TS a while ago. Infrared probes as mattb said only work on hoppers, as does the one in the video you refer to above. One lad up North was actually on casino scams on Challenge TV after being caught with 3000 quid he'd purloined from using an infrared hopper dumper or transmitter probe or whatever you call them.
As said above, eBay have scammers selling dummy look-alike devices, fly-by-nights.
Microwave jammers as mattb says can affect the chips by disruption of
power, but need the serious juice he mentions, plus the right sdset up.
I can't comment on individual sellers, but what I DO know from my work is that there are definitely problems with people stealing from machines using tools and gadgets, we are getting ever increasing reports of this.

You probably can buy something that will enable you to steal from machines, as stealing it is! My advice is DON'T it is illegal, is a few grand really worth going to criminal court for?

Don't get involved.

PS The video I think you refer to is actually linked to in that blog that was mentioned recently look up the top somewhere on the blog here and you'll see it, thats where I first saw it.
