Ok…so I am trying to keep track of what is going in my fruit machine versus what its paying out to see if its paying out to much, its set at 74% payout.
Last night I had £10 to play, so I put £5 in and won £8, I took £5 out and played the other £3 and won nothing.
I then put the other £10 back in and won nothing…
So…..im thinking overall I put £18 and won £8..does this sound right??
God this sounds like a GCSE maths question lol!
I keep thinking yes that’s right but then I get this stupid thought that overall I only put £10 and won £8 !!

The payout %age is worked out over thousands not petty cash.

the % is based over hundreds of thousands of plays.
note the meter readings (cash in/cash out)
play £100 or more each day for a month
retake the meter readings
will give you an indication of the %

If it's not paying out 18.5pence for every 25pence press then there is a serious malfunction.

open the door, the electronic meter will be at the top left hand side of the machine.
pressing start will step the meter through cash in, cash out, notes in etc etc.
note down the value for cash in and cash out
in a months time note them down again, then its simple arithmetic to work out the %
new cash in reading minus old cash in reading = total cash in
new cash out reading minus old cash out reading = total cash out
(total cash out divided by total cash in) multiplied by 100 = actual percentage payout
