im new to all this but theres a trick i know on the simpson fruit machine an i dont know what it does.
if you hit the hold buttons in this order before putting your money in the whole board stops and just the hold buttons flash for about 20 seconds.
the order is
left, middle, right, middle, right, middle, right, left, right.
this does not work on the homers meltdown one.
could anyone please tell me what this does to the machine.
thank you

I think this is the reset code or something like that? I think all older Maygays had them and contrary to rumors (resets the payout % etc...) I don't think they had any real use to anyone apart from engineers. The only thing that you will achieve by using these is to arouse suspicion as the machine resets quite obviously and you might end up getting kicked out/barred.

It does absolutely nothing apart from get you in trouble! It was used by the engineers so they could get an information dump into their handheld terminals via an RS232 port. Since everyone thought that it was a trick, and landlords etc complained, maygay introduced a much longer code into their newer machines. Bet the engineers wernt pleased lol
