Fruit Machine Chat

Hi all,
i went in my local the other night where there is 3 fruitys, TAW being my favourite but when i went in there was a new one "all fired up" i was a bit warey of keying it becuase right next to the hole there is a red light and i was just wondering if it could be some kind of alarm for the keyhole , the place deffo doesnt have midas either !


thanks Joel

i think most machines have the little red light,

the machines at work do and i key them no problems


not got a clue what it indicates though

COnfused. the only macines that have the red light is global, and all fired up is clearly a barcrest. you sure u got the name right?

and it should key fine.

I think it is an optical input for a site engineer to d/l the stats from the front.

I keyed a Global the other day with one on and it was fine :-)

Yeah, only globals have the red light near the key hole (JP TRAR, Happy hour etc). All fired up will be fine to key... its a crest.

the red light is just an indicator that there is some kind of power to the machine. it shouldnt make a difference about keying it.

the float level doesnt always mean its gonna pay out either. because its low doesnt mean its gonna play rubbish.

its all about luck and to a lesser extent - cheating.

well it is ok to key i did it today, but what utter tosh that bandit is, hopper was supposed to be full and i had to put 60 in to get 50 back out, at one point i was 40 for nothing then decided to cut my losses (had been playing for a good hour) and took 50 from the next 20 i put in
