I just had an interesting thought.. I am gradually putting my spare change into my machine, which makes it difficult to get out, unless:

a. I win
b. I go through the tests and eject a few coins
c. I dump the hopper.


Once the hoper is full (£125), this will no longer be a problem as all of the money will fall into the cash box, so I can take it out as/when i want.

But this will mean having to keep £125 in the machine.

It got me thinking.. Is it possible to change the level at which the hopper believes that its full? If it can't be done by a method which is part of the design, is there any 'bodge' which can be done to achive this?

Ideally, I would like something like £50 to be in the hopper and the rest to go down the back!

the way to do it is to dump the hopper then put £50 directly into the hopper and press the hopper top up button. thus making it think its full.
the cash will then go into the cashbox

Spot on.. Does that mean if that i tell it that its full when its at say £50, if it pays out £5, will it then know to put £5 back in the hopper and the rest down the back?

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for... Many thanks for that

i do the total reverse. i keep £400 in the hopper instead of £250. since its a £200 jackpot that kinda does streaks of sorts (have had a £200 and a £100 next spin) it prolongs me having to refloat/top up.

that might change next week when my s16 £500jp arrives next week ?!?

I just wanted to say thanks for the reply.. Its works beautifully.

I put in £60 and then hit the 'Hopper Full' button.. Now, all of my money goes into the cash box.

If it pays out £1, then the next £1 goes into the hopper and the rest into the box.

Very nice and just what I wanted.

Cheers
