Red Gaming lifes a beach. Home machine problems.

[GonGon]

Hi there,
Just bought myself a lifes a beach fruit machine for the house.

Its all working well as far as I can tell, however I am finding that winning on it is far too easy. I can stick 20quid in it and have to literally throw the money back into it, other wise id be there all night! And thats fine when I am on it, but if one of my mates was to stick there cash in it id be a fair bit out of pocket!!

I have checked inside the machine and it has a 78% chip inside it.

Any ideas why its paying out so much?

I thought it might be because I havent reset the machine, so it doesnt know how much money is inside it? However I have no idea how to do this... complete novice to these things.

Another wee problem I had aswell, I tried to use the hopper dump switch according to what the manual told me to do, however this also didnt work.

Any help appreciated,
Cheers.

To use hopper dump you need to insert & turn a refill key.

Hey Johnny,

Thanks for the reply. I have a refill key and had that turned, however still no luck with the dump.

Any other ideas? And do you now how to reset the cash levels registered on the machine?

Thanks,
Rikki

Put your machine into test by pressing BOTH test switches at the same time. One is a red button on the main MPU, the other one is hidden at the right hand side under the reel shelf. Go into coin out test and press hold button one. Each press will payout 1 x £1. To re set cash levels insert & turn refill key. Then press the "Hopper top up switch". This will reset the float level to £125. i.e.The machine will think it has a full float & will divert £1 coins to the cashbox until it pays out. Coins will then go into hopper until full. (£125)

ok still not getting the nang of this..

iv pushed both the test switches at same time. the lights die for a second. however when i go to to look for the coin out you mention, the game just ends up going into free play?? really dont know what im doing wrong.

is really far to easy to win on too.. i can stick 20quid in and jackpot it nearly every time

Try fitting a 74% key. This will sort the overpaying. To enter test, try pushing both test switches at the same time TWICE.
