Hi, what exactly is an emptier? are they asomething that guarentees you emptying a machine and if so does anybody have one for Extremes Twenty FIve

An emptier generally will result in the machine being 'emptied' of all its pound coins.

They result from many screw ups by the coders but the two most common ones are:

1) A 'free' win where the win is added to the bank amount but not registered as part of its percentage payout.. i.e the machine will pay out but not know it has paid out e.g bling king crazy

2) A repeatable method of getting to a jp/highwin when it would not normally be ready (not as easy as a free win but will will lead to an empty).. e.g Lucky Strike

several other ways lead to empty but are less common:

- Note/Coin mech being tricked into accepting credits at a time when the machine is not expecting it and adds too many credits or adds credits and returns the tender.

- Hopper dump option being left in on refill menu

- IM modes not being reset when offered leaving the machine in permant IM

- Over compensation - Very popular on older mechs.. if JP is offered and knocked back many times its percentage will go out of whack and it will pay out way more than it should.

- Various reset attacks like unplugging the machine as it is adding a win then it will offer and identical win on next board

etc etc

Thanks, but the last one - unplugging it, if you unplug the machine as its banking will your winnings still be in the bank when its switched back on?
Thanks
