Fruit Machine Chat

Hi people im new to all this fruit machine stuff, but i recently bought a public enemy no 1 machine, its the one with the switch to change the jackpots from £75 to £100 to £200.
anyway im going on, i have played on it with no problems untill my brother played on it, got a payout and now i need to reset or something, the display keeps on saying "left to pay" ive added money to the hoppers directly but nothing!!
please help

You need to use a refill key mate, insert it and turn, then manually put some coins in to cover the "left to pay on the matrix" then you will find it will pay out ok, then just manually put the coins back in so it don't happen again (try to keep a float of at least the jp in it) If you aint got a key, just google search "refill key" and you'll get one for a few quid.

..or..

if the Machine is set 2 handpay, turn refill key to clear the banked win

how do i check if its set to hand pay? and also i have got myself a key turned it and it says refill mode of something! i filled it up and it still wont pay out that last bit and still keeps saying left to pay!!! help!!

Hi Guys, im having the exact same problem with this machine, iv bought a refill key and dropped the dosh in but its still not happening, any ideas why it may not be working?

Thanks

sry

either fill the hopper by hand and press the hopper topped up button next to the hopper (so machine knows its full)
OR turn refill key and top up pound coins through the slot so it counts them in.
If a machine thinks its empty it won't pay. And how would it know you topped it up if you just pour coins into the hopper?
It needs to count them in or be told £125 etc has been added.

It owes 60p, so iv put £2 in 20s in and it still doesnt pay out, does the hopper need to be full in order for the machine to recognise there is coins in there?

Thanks for the help

Could you also tell me where the hopper topped button is please, cant seem to find it, thanx again

does it have 2 hoppers or a pound hopper and 20p tube?

it has 3 £1 hoppers and a 20p hopper

sry dont really understand difference between hopper and tube, thick i know

can u post some pictures of the inside of the machine?

will point out stuff for you..

Its an old tube machine, there is no hopper top up switch.

The machine uses the top and bottom sensors to work out how much float is in the tubes and routes/payouts accordingly.
