Betting Terminal FOBT

I had a shot on these terminals for the first time at the weekend and liked the fruits on them compared to B3s in an arcade. I know a lot of people on here dont like random machines i am not really a fan but i finished quite a bit up.
I have 3 questions i noticed round the back of the machine there is a data connection as well as the 13amp mains plug . If i was to hit a machine say take a grand from it does it affect the payout of the other shop terminals as they are data linked ? Or are even a chain of bookmakers in a city linked to payout?

2/ The shop staff can credit a machine from the counter ( Data connection) do they know how you are doing when playing money spent won ect?

3/ Does anyone know the % payout for the fruits it only is stated for roulette.
Thanks and Regards.

A random number is sent form a remote site to the terminal to decide the oucome of any game

Counter staff can see amount in and out. I assume that head office likes to know what is happening. especially with money laundering laws.

Try putting £200 in , playing one spin at £1 and collecting. They will have a seizure.

Typical payouts on £500 fruits

50p play = 90%
£1 play = 94%

I've used a FOBT as a way of changing coins into notes several times and had a few run-ins with the cashier, some don't like it, one got the hump over just changing £20 then printing reciept.

Thanks for the replys and the link to the makers who explain how they are linked and work.

Eddie, pop down to that Ladbrokes on the corner of Narborough Road and whack a £50 bag into one of the terminals. Bet £1 on red and leave.
Wait for the fireworks. When they start give them my love.
