Fruit Machine Chat

I have one of these in my local. Landlord insists the meters read correctly (ie 78%).

Is he telling the truth?

I trust the GATWs are always £140 or over because this is a f***ing hideous machine. I've had a few silly drunken heavy losses on it. The barstaff do their wages in it, I've yet to see £70 in the box in the 5 months the machines been sited, Cash or bust will be bottom feature, rarely buzzes up, even after a shedload of money put in, the side bulbs on the box are intentionally disconnected so you can't "see" the £70 marker. You can't even see the joins on the £4/£5 boxes.
Though I saw a MS off a COB last week, by the landlord who then opened the machine and put the coins back in the hopper!

Any thoughts or ideas besides buying a torch!

how many gatw's can these ppl get tho, ive not had one in months. i must jut be unlucky

Landlord could be playing it himself after closing to keep the machine in a dead state so you guys constantly fill it up for him.

I've seen it all before, they use a mobile phone or a magnet to confuse the overhead satellites into making the machine pay mega streak. Typical landlord behaviour, tell him he's barred and he's not welcome back.

Landlord only put £1 in it id say!

It depends on the machine, but for most that I play regularly, I'll get an IM about once per year. (if they have an IM of course). Some examples though, say Juggling Jackpots, was sited at a local Silvers for 5 years and it only gave me an IM once in that time.

saying that the only 210 ive ever had is off an ant and dec

I got 7 consecutive £25 jackpots off an old ant and dec once, that was sweet.

doesnt something on this trigger something else and then something happen? sure i heard a rumor on this a year or so back??
