Hi there i have three machines - Pie Factory, After Shock and Battle Axe and I have no idea how to empty the 20p hoppers. I know when the hoppers are full they drop to the bottom. Do i need a refill key for this? thanks

Mine only has a £1 coin hopper but I press the green button on the back of the machione to get the options up, then select coin flow test to empty the hopper.

not sure sure if this would be releavant to your machines but hope it helps at least

All 3 of these should only have £1 hoppers. All other coins should fall into the cashbox at the bottom, which can be opened with a key usually.

Yeah, if only £1 hopper (don't some older machines pay out in 20p's?) then the 20ps will fall into the other box at the bottom of the machine with all the other non £1 coins

even most £5 machines will round up so 1p - 99p is really £1 etc.. so in reality they only have 5 diff wins.

some machines will pay out in 20ps but they are RARE... so on 99% of machines all coins except £1's (unless full) will drop to the cash box at the bottom.
