Fruit Machine Chat

hi all i have the red gaming lock n load its displaying code "opt 100p alm01" iv checked the hopper and it all looks clear when i turn the machine on it spins and starts loading then says "stuck but err 43" then goes onto the "opt100p alm 01" any ideas are all gratefully recieved and a big THANKS upfront fron me cheers russ

hi mate, right, the stuck but alarm is self explanitory, one of the buttons is stuck down, make sure each button "clicks" when its pressed and springs back out. it could just be somethings been spilt on the button ie beer and made it sticky, or it could be that the micro switch underneath is stuck on.

Now the opto 100p alm sounds like the infra red light which counts the £1 coins out on the hopper is either dirty or blown, more likely dirty. you will need to remove the hopper from its housing to locate it underneath, just give it a clean with a damp cotton bud then try it again.

damb ur good the err button has gone and it working on problem i have is when i put a quid in it drops straight threw and returns in the cash payout tray also how can i change it from 25p to 10p or 5p a play sorry for all the questions i just aint got a clue lol

OK I'm guessing the mech is fully plugged in...It might need the routing plug plugged in at the back if you haven't already done so. Other than that, it might just need a clean again as it's just not recognising coins.

If you want to change the price of play, you'll need a variable stake and prize key...so if you take a pic of the inside of your machine, I might be able to tell if you have one or not.

iv cleaned it doesnt take any coins just go straight threw to the payout tray can get a descent picture at the mo me flash is rubbish lol

not sure is this a pic of what u need to see cheers

Doesn't look like you have a variable stake key there. I believe the variable keys are available on eBay

no worries will see if i can find one any ideas why it wont take the coins cheers for all your help guys
