I'm a bit of a noob, just got my first fruity and have a question.

It's a Barcrest Psycho Cash Beast which is set to 25p play & £15 jackpot.
It takes 5p's up to £2's but only the £1 coins go into the hopper. Everything else drops down into the cash bins. This obviously means it only pays out in £1 coins.

If you win something like £1.60 and collect it, it gives you a bonus of 40p so that it can pay you £2 because of the £1's in the hopper.

Is it possible for it to accept silver into the hopper or will the hoppers accept £1 coins only. There seems to be 3 tubes but only one has writing on it. The £1 one.

Thanks.

It will only take £1 coins in the hopper as this is what it pays out. It could never accept silver aswell as it would have no way to seperate them so would pay out anything. The 2 tubes going into the bottom will be 1 for all coins except £1 and the other would be for £1 coins when the hopper is full.

Thanks, I've got a couple of other trivial questions.

1) When I stick a quid in it, the 'Cash In' meter clicks round and adds a 10 to the number. But when it pays out the 'Cash Out' meter just remains the same, it doesn't seem to change.

The 'Cash In' number is about 1800000 (I assume that's £180k) and the 'cash out' is around 1100000. Is this easy to fix?


2) I'll be using it as a money box, sticking my spare change into it. I've ordered a refill key which will tell me how much is in the hopper. But is there any way to tell how much is actually in the machine? Including the silver which will be backing and not falling into the hopper. I'm sure the answer will be no but I'm new to this. It would be nice to press a button and it would say, £84.40 in it, without having to count the money in the bins.

3) Would I be able to change it from it's 25p/£15 jackpot to a 10p/£15?

Thanks.

1/ I dont know about the cash meter.
2/ As far as I know it will only say what is in the hopper as this is all it is interested in as this is what it pays out from. Its best to leave all the cash that falls into the bottom anyway as when you do check it yoy normally get a nice surprise as to how much is in it.
3/ The jackpot can probably be changed. You will need a variable stakes and prizes key which you can get off ebay for a couple of quid. You can also get variable percentage keys that will set the % to whatever you want between 70% and 98% so as to make the game payout more or less.

hello

you have a faulty cash out meter.i beleive its a 12v mechanical meter so thats what you need.

to replace this all you have to do is snip the wires for that meter and when you get a new meter just connect the wires together.

second question

you need both meters working if you need to know exactly what the machine is holding.

third question

as said before you need a variable stakes and prizes key(pm me if you need one)but this will only work if you have the correct chips that allow you to change the stake but you wont know this until you try the stake/prize key.
