Percentages

Northern Monkey · Post by **Northern Monkey** » Thu Sep 02, 2010 12:22 am

Can anyone confirm what happens when an swp has been raped or an awp subjected to an empty whether the percentage is reset at the time of rechip. So simple example if a fruity has been emptied does it clawback the money for the operator through effectively paying to a very low percentage for months on end or do they take the losses on the chin?

i think a new chip resets, i ripped about £50 out of a £35hof then saw it get chipped and give phone boards normally after :/ once i saw it chipped i didnt even wanna play it.
that greenwich hof was great

i knew every box.

Played that HOF around the corner from yourself much Silent?

The Gold Streak in the Duke has gone for a Burton as it was 'being played to much' according to the new landlord. It's transformed into a crappy red-boxer DOND.

Back on topic - I'm guessing it would be illegal / wrong to adjust things in an attempt to 'make back' losses incurred by their sloppy / illegal programming?

Well you would hope so Matt but I guess it would still have run to percentage over time albeit having paid out 150% in the first half of its life and then 30% in its second half.

Imagine the machine operators would see nothing wrong with that as long as it averages out.

True. I wonder if a 'rechip' machine 'see itself' as a new machine and the history is erased? Could be done a number of ways I guess and that's all we can do really - guess.

From what i can understand a rechip should effectively wipe the slate clean so it shouldnt be really happy or really fucked either, i very much doubt that a rechip should or could make a machine take back what was lost during an empty, theres no way it would be legal, i would imagine that a chip kinda resets it back to a 'default' stage, if there is one.

They just revert back to normal. Grails are just the same now as they were before it got out, they've not made them not pay. They would shoot themselves in the foot if the didn't pay out, as no-one would play. They have to take the loss as their bad programming and be done with it.

Nearly all mcs are Ram Cleared and unless played down can be easy pickings.

Was it deffo coz of the rechip tho cannon, as i have heard from more than one person that some of the donds can fook up occasionally and the board goes wrong, dom saw a lad put about £150 thru a 5 pounder CYBTB (i think it was a banker, was deffo a dond anyway) and it never offered a win above 1.60 every board was 2 moves and dead.

So they got an attendant over to it and something to do with the rams had bust and the target had dropped to 6%

I dont no why it was always dead most boards would be £1, but change over dials always played normal when they were chipped. must be a fuckd up % then.
