I had exactly the same thing a few years back on a Golden Grid, paid out double what I had in the bank

Still a shit machine mind.....

There was a similar thing in my local Quicksilver (called something else then) a few years ago. On the 3 player Partytime everytime you put a 50p in number 2 it registered as a £2 coin. This went on for a few days and I remember changing about £100 into 50p's then going in ready and it had been fixed. I didn't dare ask them to change coins for notes!

Nice one..why didnt ye tell me about it ?

Once I found a 777 heaven that the 10p's came back out and registered credits. Also some card based machine (card) (card) (win) that was only meant to hold one reel at any given time, All 3 reels were holding every credit

yea i have once, the machine was called side winders, it was in my local pub i collected a small £1 win well the machine made me collect it when i press collect i found £4 in the bottom, i assumed that some must have got stuck, i carried on playing, the payout was wired, like £1=£4 somtimes =£10 if that makes sence, the machine was full to the brim which was nice took it for about £120 i think but was a while back.

aswell i have had this happen 3x where i have pressed collect and the whole hub has eptied, 1st time was a small £5 machine only got about £80 2nd was a £15 got about £110, 3rd was loads it was a party time double decker £35er, think i got about £220

the worst machine for this was money spider every win colected was more than wat it was n a random amount more say you got the streak for £60 it would give at least £10 extra but this got found out wen a player asked the staff to check it pays right it was then turned off for a day next day same crap machine with crap wins £8 a board offers £2.50 then dead

Few years back the note changer, not on a machine, the proper note changer in my local was paying around £60 for £20 in. Amazing! Must have put at least £100 in it, but who wouldn't?

The best one happened to me recently...... playing a Bullion Bars 4 player sitdown. As these do seem to suck a fair bit without giving a streak, and once it does give the streak on the top - it goes for a flat 25 grrrrrrrrrrrr someone obviously punched the glass on the machine - anyhow, where the buttons are, is a big gaping space in which you could easily drop money down - I did once by accident so I got the attendant to open the machine up to retreive the money. She did so, and shut the glass, restarted the machine and off I go - I banked around 70 quid from bits, and walked as it had starting sucking.........I pressed the collect button and kept it pressed in as I always do, and the whole bloody hopper emptied, and IOU'ed !! I dont know how this happened but hey...... no complaints!

Another time - not sure again why this happened, but I had a Bullion Bar feature, gave me 10 quid then sacked me off the board - the buzzer was ringing to indicated credit needed and I put a pound into the slot and it didnt register - the attendent came over, opened up the machine, gave me a quid, and off we go - I put the quid in, and to my complete shock, and amazement - the Bar Bullion Bar Bar had HELD on the win line for an immediate return to the feature!!! HOW ??? It only went for two quid and sacked me off, but I tried it again the next Bullion feature and pretended to lose a quid, she comes over opens the machine, and it DIDNT hold again......

Any ideas as to why these scenarios happened?

[fruitcrazy]

you just reminded me, when i got the hopper emptie on me, the whole lot fell out and iou'd.

dont know why the bullion did that but the over day on one in my local, i was playin number 2 and this bloke was playing number 3 he got up there gave him the £25 first spin to my amazment dont do that often i said, the bang next spin streak only went for another £25 then he left....

i thought to myslef im going to have a few quid in that, first pound first spin ' bar bullionbar bar' first spin steak thought going to be £25 no it went for £125 then after nudge the bar, jp bar then to my amazment the buttons lit up so all in all got £150 for £4

[scottfrazer]

Hmm, our Bullion Bar that we have is so unpredictable its untrue - theres just no logical method to playing it..... It can suck for 100 quid without a board, and then it will give a straight in bullion, and award 2 quid and kick you off.

Not saying I dont beleive you btw - ive seen bullions give the streak for 120 plus, I have had a 130 once, but never again. Just 25's, 30's 40's and 50's.

These are so unpredictable. Even when full and not from a refill - they can suck hundreds
