odd things machines have done

**nemisis** · 25th September 2005, 07:39 PM

So bored of reading the threads the last couple of days. As alex said enoughs enough.

I was in an arcade and thought i would try beer guide. Couple of coins later and decided that it was not worth playing, so i collected the £3 i had collected. To my suprise it paid out nine pound. wtf i thought, some one has been messing around with the m/c. Anyway i decided to play for another feature, collected the feature and yet again 3 times the amount i collected was paid out. I'll cut the rest of the story short, got jackpot and it paid out £45. Needless to say it was empty within a few minutes.

Has this happened to anyone or does anyone know why this happend because i havent got a clue what goes on inside the machine. Unless of course it is the test switch for cash dump (ahh those were the days). Not so much of scally these days. Some people may have reservations on what happened but it really did happen.

nothing like your experience but stil a little odd (i thought)....

was playin hillbillionaire (god knows why). Used my last credit so i went to put another few pounds in...it rejected the first coin so attract mode started just as the second coin went in. However it seemed to stay in attract mode (bulbs flashin all over the place in various patterns) until i pressed start. Confused the hell out of me, cos it happened so fast i thought at the time maybe it was a "let em spin" or sumthing but it wasnt, just a plain old glitch as far as i can tell.

sounds weird but good

the weirdest thing ever happened to me is when collecting £1 on the old Crazy Fruits machine it would pay out an extra 40p wayhay

lmao

How about a 10p £5jp fright night taking 10p's and thinking it's a £1 coin.

Hence, 10 plays for 10p. Every board just collect what it gives, i.e win step for a few quid. Empty not long after

EASY MONEY!

This from one of my posts a couple of years back.....

I've had Golden Game completely fuck up before by sending the cash display over £100. This was done by i.o.uing an early chip for about £96. The machine was refilled but when switched back on the bank doesn't auto collect like it does in normal play if you get anything over £74. I got a quick £5 and the software just span out when it didn't know where to put the decimal point after £99. Funny such a piece of hardware can go tits up over something any 50p calculator can cope with.

It just carried on making the 'collect' noise as if banking a win forever.
Shame, the manager thought I was up to something and I got barred.
OK, so I was..it was an early chip after all...but it still sucks even now.

lol have seen my brother seen the hot wheels take 2p for a £2 coin and collect £1 on jiggin pays out £8 also big ben takes 10p for a £1 how can this happen!?

**Thor2007** · 26th September 2005, 05:25 PM

Jiggin in the riggin's are notorious for not paying out the correct amounts.

If someone before u collected something big and it paid out a few less than it should have, the likelyhood is the next dude on it would get that extra few quid.

The streaks on these can be enormous for a 10p machine.

The coin bag is out of use, back to uni tomorrow.

**anfield road** · 26th September 2005, 05:41 PM

back to uni ey oh well

yeah have noticed jiggin always pays out a £1 less now

and also the streak on this 10p is amazing play for JP repeat to say £35 then about £20 in scavs lmao its great init

I played a £5 beaver and discovered that cash + repeat chance always repeated. It was like playing a £10 jackpot machine. Good fun for about a minute tho.
