I had that once. I put £1 in, no credits registered. Put a second £1 in, again to no avail. I spoke to the guy behind the counter (being a Pumpkin café) and was told to phone such and such number. It was only a £2 loss so I didn't pursue it in the end. The thing is, if you call the number, how can you prove that you've lost money or you're due an IOU? Take a photo of the alpha display? The worst thing about it is that the guy didn't turn the machine off, leaving other punters open to loss.trayhop123 wrote:a refreshing unexpected turnout from a train station ................ usually get the ''its not our machine , ring this number crap''
Stupidest IOU

I've had several pay and gives jam up on me, you can usually turn it off and on and will pay the remainder, but like you say it stops the repeat chance, never understood the need for pay and give? (no doubt someone will explain the reason now) is it because the gaffer wants to hear whats coming out? I find you get barred from a lot of these, i had a lep in a hotel that was pay and give, tried catching it all (looks dodgy and spills out of your hand anyway) the tiny bar came to a stand still, or you can just let it hit the tray (and it sounds like £200 is pouring out) end result barred, same goes for a sweet indy skulls i had 
Cobwebs 
I used to think it was just the pub keeping an eye on what was coming out of it, but I think from a Technical stance it helps with Hopper starvation.
Stops people building up banks on a full unit losing X amount over the back then they walk leaving it X amount in the hopper short.
I had loads of Cluedo's/Rovers set like this. Reminds me of a rovers in a really small old mans type boozer on the outskirts of the town centre, saturday dinner not long opened, buy a pint, £1 in, 1st spin I've got a hold on a pair of lines, in comes GWL for a Red SH on my 1st spin. I know it's an auto so I had to stand there for 5 minutes pretending to play it when the reels were just stepping up n down
