hi, got my first fruit machine yesterday.
i was just wondering if i need a different hopper or another hopper as it wont pay out 20p's.

ive put loads of 20s in and they go straight into the bottom, the hopper only holds pounds.

so if i win £2.40 it gives me a bonus of 60p so it doesnt pay the 20's out

hope it makes sense and thanks in advance

its a £1 hopper and cant pay out 20p's. Thats why all wins are rounded up to the pound.

ahh right,
any way of fitting another one?
does any old hopper fit or does it have to be a certain make?

why do you want it to pay out 20p's?

Pretty much all machines will only payout whole pounds, dont worry the machine knows its doing this and it wont affect the percentages, the extra 60p is NOT A FREE WIN, as some muppets beleive.

It does beg the question though , why do machine makers bother putting £1.60, £2.40 wins on their machines at all though??

lol funniest post av sin in a while. but anyway most new machines only pay in pounds like somebody has already said and you will find that most new machines have been permanantly set to do this, however some older machines have a dil switch setting that can be altered to not round to the nearest pound and gives you the option to fit a 20p hopper. But to be honest there is NO POINT what soever, my advice would be to just leave it as it is!!
