Fruit Machine Chat

Even though Ive been playing fruities for a long time ive never been tempted to buy a refill key, just wondering if they work really and what info they actually give the player. Also wondering where the best play to buy one would be?

Cheers

Nowadays a turn of the key will usually only provide you with one detail: namely, how many pound coins short of being full the hopper currently is. Older machines, depending on various settings, would allow you far more info - such as last bank/last win/current percentage/target percentage etc.

I personally find them very handy as it allows me to scoot round Wetherspoons at 11pm and see which machines are in what state and not get drawn into playing a machine which is £60 short.

As for buying a key - on the High Street, Timpsons key cutters do them as do some (but not all) others. Online, ebay has both rip-off merchants AND reliable sellers, so be careful. If you end up paying more than £2 on ebay you know you're paying too much.

ok mate, cheers, ill get looking on ebay. I know there common, ive just bener felt the nees to buy one. But it would probably save me a lot of money cos ill know wat to steer clear of as u sed

What i meant to say was 'i never felt the need to buy one'

If i go into my local timpsons, do i simply just ask for a fruit machine refill key? or is it some sort of 'behind the counter' thing, i know they aint illegal but i hea they are frowned upon. The bloke who works in my nearest one is a big, muscly bald bloke with a mean look about him and i dont wanna really upset him!

let me know

You need to ask for a "Lowe & Fletcher 87000 key".

Although if you play a machine that is provided by Gamestec beware of alarms when you twist the key.

never had a problem with gamestec, its MIDAS you need to loook out for.

MIDAS is a product made by gamestec, so be careful. I've never seen a machine with either printed on them. But if i do, i wouldnt dare key it, even if it just had "gamestec" written on it. BTW, where abouts on the machine are they printed?

Thats what i forgot to add MIDAS. The lable is on the bottom door, left hand side.

ive noticed machines with midas on them and i have keyed them with no trouble, whats suppose to happen a army of fruit machine pixies come out of the side of the machine and slap your wrist and pinch your key!!
