Which game / terminal? I suspect there are some games out there where, with enough question knowledge, you could empty them in that you could win repeat JPs until the terminal ran out of cash.

Reminds me of something I came across a few years back. Went in a pub see what Fruit machines where in there. They weren't much cop so after a couple of quid I walked over to the Itbox. I noticed straight away that it said Door open on the screen but everything was working normally at 1st. I had a look for a door open but couldn't see where. Anyway I slipped 50p in and played on cluedo and on every question the correct answer was highlighted. So I got the £20 JP then played again and got the JP again. However when I tried to collect the money it wouldn't pay anything out due to the door open. So just had a few goes on games I hadn't played before and left when i'd finished me drink.

They are fruit machine players(mainly toolers i think) so i doubt it would be anythink to do with answering questions correctly!

Interesting. Presumably there's some sort of test mode which can be accessed, albeit with no prizes. Would be phenomenally useful to anyone learning questions, of course!

A machining friend of mine once found an actual standalone machine which highlighted correct answers, and was paying out. Could there be anything more perfect? He cleaned up, obviously.

What I can remember about it was that it only seemed to be cluedo that was effected. The other games where normal(No highlighted answers)

a few years ago there was a scam involving a device that involved sticking a pipecleaning type device up a gamesnet to empty the contents of the hopper. actually saw some neanderthals utilising one, but didnt grass them up as I didnt want to end up as part of a flyover! . Gamestec tightenned up after a couple of months of panic.

All this fiddling the noteys is killing the game for everybody else.
