Fruit Machine Chat

hi all i am new to this. i just need some help if anyone could it would be much appreciated. i have just brought the austin powers fruit machine and i dont know how to empty the 1 pound coins into the black box in the bottom door of the machine. thank you in advance.

That is the machine's take. The black box is a cashbox. Coins are paid out via a 'hopper', usually a black box mounted in upper part of machine on right. When the hopper reaches a preset capacity, coins drop into the lower black box.

So typically you fill the hopper up and press the hopper top up button, usually mounted on or near hopper. Then close up the machine and it is ready to go. Coins will drop into the cashbox until a payout, where the machine fills hopper up to capacity again.

Just got your Pm. Your best bet is just to get £100 of one pound coins from the bank.

Open the front door (lift up). Follow where it looks like the coins should go on insertion into the big box thing sitting near the reels. Tip £60 into the hole where the chutes coming from the coin slot lead.

Lock up the machine and power it up and just play the thing. Eventually when you lose enough it'll start directing coins down to the box at the bottom. You may need to get more coins from bank.

Start with that, the best way to learn about these things is just to experiment.

ok thx mate

if your trying to refill m/c, just turn refill key and insert coins into the mech,


let the m/c do the work
