Tecky, you need to refer to the Barcrest forum where there're numerous posts about this machine.

Maybe it is, i've got a feeling the place where it is they've got it on a crap payout %, it's in an overpriced bowling centre
Machine did say minimum payout was 82%, I think it was fixed by the owners!

Bowling centres annoy me. Most of the machines in them are usually 30p £5 Extremes (or anything in a bubble cabinet) and have shit %ages like 70%.

I request my own machines in my own pub, we also refill them most days so it doesn't really matter which machines we have, they all stick take money.
Coronation Street was our biggest taker for a long while, now it is Cock-A-Doodle-Do
My Happy Campers gets rinsed by me and someone else daily, hardly takes a bean, which is a bit dodgy

Because then they'd cotton on :P
Not surprising corrie makes a packet. CADD too, when they are below £4 ready they can take the piss really.

Yeah true but as long as no one knows its there, then you could make like 75 on it every week. They would prob still make money through the note changer etc.
I guess an unchipped extreme would be better :P
