Piggy Bank Re-Chip

Me and a mate have played a Piggy Bank reliable as hell for the last 3 months. All of a sudden, the last few attempts, full, money in bottom, played a right cunt. In fact, its not just this machine.

Proof that the leisure companies are cutting down %s to cover toolers etc.

Thankx, toolers.

I had one of these full and red from the off a few weeks back, absolutely vile, I was £210 in at my worst point, I had 3 or 4 tops during this time that went £35, and in the end i got a few £35 tops together then a £70 and managed to lose £40 on it, also had another one several months ago that was flying and cost £170 but i did manage to break even on that one, the first one of these i ever found was brilliant, but the few [and it is only a few] i've found since have not been the best, just can't seem to get any consistency with these.

Crikey, I've only had one of these near me recently (still there, £70 then £35'd it yesterday... ;) ) but have not taken a hit on it yet.

'Was' one of the better Reds, could it just be that someone else has got to it before you recently?

Yeah, very much doubt its a rechip as it wasn't widely released anyway. Bad beat i'm afraid.

Prob. not a re-chip, just a reduced percentage key fitted probably,

But still, it pisses me off, its not just other people playing cos they are easy to read to find if ready or not, the blocks are bigger.

to be fine, i also have been over 200
in these on a rediculous block...

One of my favourite machines when they were first about - not seen one for a while now though.

An amasing red. When redding it doesn't fuck about, it just goes straight up. Had 140s out of these twice now. The one that i was doing was in a food pub, busy as you like, done it once a week on the safe side! Unfotunately gone now.

I hit one near me once a week, and it does go very nicely indeed! Have emptied it a few times, as the pub has a habit of under-filling their machines. :roll:

It seems to love doing £70 followed by a £70, which is not usually the case for Reds.

This is 1 red to completely bypass my area. Never found 1. :(
