refill question

Post by chrisfarrar »

When a machine has been refilled does this make it easier or harder to win?

Or does it not affect payout?

How I see it is that owner fills payout tubes, so machine backs but empties cashbox, making machine needing cashbox full to payout.

Thanks.

No, makes literally no difference to the play on any machine, ever.

It affects pay out.

The cashbox has nothing to do with it being ready to pay out. After a certain number (normally high) of credits have been played it will be ready again.

On refill days machines are best avoided. I have fallen into the trap a couple of times but there again a couple of times I've gone for quick £10- £15 raises.

It makes it harder to win because its been reset. That's my understanding.

Nah, thats not right cocker, it doesnt make any difference to the coding or to the current status of its payout % cycle.

The machine pays no creedance to how full its tubes / hopper is.

A hopper holds a certain amount of money £125, or £250 with a notechanger.

Any money going in when it is full goes to the cashbox at the bottom of the machine. The hopper is in no way connected to the main system with regards to play.

If a machine has just been taken for £100, and manually refilled. This machine is going to be full, and in a horrible mood.

Whereas if the machine has been played by idiots, it will be full and ready to pay out

The only time this will be of any significant use would be if you know if the machines get manually refilled or not.

Woops, see, never really understood this, probably because I am not a big day time player where the fillers are.
