hi guys, i have fruit machine but having trouble with the pound coins. it accepts them. but puts them straight in the cash pot not the hjopper. so there is not any winning pound coins. is there a setting i have changed by mistake ?? thanks

By the sounds of it, your machine may think it's got a full hopper, so what you will need to do here, is go in to the machines test mode, and run a full hopper dump, and with that, it should reset what it thinks is in the hopper to zero, then just re-float it with whatever you normally would like, using the refill key method, but do NOT go via the hopper top-up switch route, unless you intend to float it with a FULL hopper.

To do the above, can differ from machine to machine, so would help if we know what make / game is (If unsure, just upload a pic of the whole front of the machine), and also ideally the MPU platform (Like MPU5, scorp4, etc).

I have the same problem with a Barcrest MPU5 cota del cash machine. I have tried the hopper dump but it still does not divert the coins to the hopper. Any help would be greatly appreciated

sounds like the coin mech doesn't have either the correct coin diverter plug fitted, or not at all.

[tsisport]

the plug fitted says MARS on it there is another that says coincons that is slightly smaller that will also fit but this also does not function to divert £1 coins to the hopper either.

I have checked the function of the solenoid that diverts the coins to the hopper and this works fine when supplied with 12v

working is one thing, but being told to work is another. the routing plug is a small brick plug with wires going in and out of each other. do you have one ?

Hi i am in a similar position with my machine it's a monty python in a enhanced rio cab. The coins will not go into the hopper only the cash box. Please help if anyone can. Regards

it thinks the hopper is full

 

open the bottom cash door, insert refil key and then press the hopper dump button. it now thinks their is zero coins and will accept

 

*note the note acceptor will only kick in at £100 in coins
