Fruit machine - no nothing about fruit machine -set up help

Post by BIKERZX7R1981 »

Hi

I have just bought a 2007 buckbunny £35.00 fruit machine. I have played them lots in my life but now just bought my own.

I am not sure how to set it up when it comes,

We are using it life i real fruit machine and hiding the keys so I want it to work like tit would in a pub.

I just wondered how much I would have to put into the hopper to make it pay right?

also if I wanted to connect up a note acceptor.. is this easy to do?

any help much appreciated

But if you only put £20 in the hopper, and then press the top up button, the machine will think it is holding £125 in the float, and any £1 coins entered from that point will "overspill" to the cash buckets below. The machine will continue to maintain a full float level of £125 which in reality will only be £20. Obviously, as soon as someone wins more than £20, the hopper will empty, and the machine will alarm.
I would suggest putting as much in the hopper as you can afford, anything up to the £125 maxk, dump it in the usual way ~ do not press the hopper top up button, unless you really have put £125 in it, and then let the machine sort out its' own levels ~ all £1 coins enetered will gradually fill the hopper, to its max, at which point they will divert to the cash boxes below.
As for a note acceptor, it's not to difficult, but not really worth it on a machine at home, especially if it is quite an old machine, as it might only give change for whatever note is entered.

Still need help with the idea of a note acceptor working on it ?
What note acceptor were you thinking of, or do you already have it and the loom? Remind us all what tech your machine is running ? Do you have any mounting parts at all ?
