Took my kids bowling today and went to get change out those damn machines that never seem to want to take your notes..Anyway happen to glance at a Crazy fruits Casino and 3 bells were on the winline and the "collect" button was flashing...Hmmm wierd i thought someone must be away to get more change ? but why leave it with £25 in the bank ? So i stood about for about 5 mins to see if anyone came back to it.(it was more like 30 secs) Ah f**k it...pressed collect and it spewed out £25..Cool i thought..gave the kids £5 each and stuck another quid in to which the hold buttons lit..Counted up another £25 then held again..Looooooolllll.

So what kinda percentage is that £0 in £75 out

lol thats it mate, get em hooked young


When I went to Spain last week I stopped in the Services and I took a peek at their machines, basically there was what must have been a school trip and a teacher caught a kiddie playing "but Miss I have £6 to collect"
"I don't care you're not playing them" was the reply in a stern voice and she dragged the kid away, only for Ady to wink at the poor kid and he breathed "W****r" knowing i'd collect it........bit mean but it was funny.

its 0%.

you cant get a % without a starting figure.

I had a simalar one but got caught.

I was playing £5 golden game and some kid plays the one next to me gets hold after nudge for golden game so I tell him not to hold anything and it goes for about £20.

Credit runs out and golden game is still active, excited as the kid is he collects, runs off shouting at who he was with saying look what I won, so I sneakily stick a quid in that machine to continue the golden game.......

Fooking arcade staff come over and tell the kid that hes still on the feature and I just jumped on after and they told him to give me my quid back....

......argh it goes for another £30 and all I was getting out of the middle was fivers lol, I would have thought it was my right to have that game as he willingly left the machine, but I just kept quiet for some reason.

Well, technically it's %infinity. Because if you divide anything by zero* (as you are in this case) then you'll end up with infinity. But then again, infinity isn't actually a number, so I dunno if you've broken a record or not!

*Except zero

No record.

I found a penny on the front of a machine once and i didnt put anything in so he has the same record i have.

Until you have a starting figure you cant have a percentage.

MFME3 used to work it out for you on each game, those who left money in the machine before closing the software can see this working by opening one of the machines with money in the bank and pressing collect. the % remains at 0, once you put a single credit in then its win/input thats the percentage.

ie. pound in 500 out is 500.00 / 1.00 = 500%
ie. 2 pound in 750 out is 750 / 2.00 = 375%
ie 0 pound in and 75 out is 75 / 0 = Cannot divide by Zero or to simplify 0

Too be fair it's 750% as £1 had to go in.

Sorry, didn't realise the machine let the jackpot hold without a credit to do so

[todd1970]

Sorry guys didnt mean to cause a mini-argument here..Probably my fault I should have stated that although I never put any money in the machine to start with I obvioulsy had to stick at least a quid in to get the 2 subsequent holds..So I suppose its percentage wise £1 in £74 out..Which equals 740% ??

[CrAzYbAr]

Hey guys...It's my school holidas here!!! Why should we have forum life ruined my us getting all mathematical??
Anyway, I was in an arcade...I had put all my £2 into a Cash Slayer £5JP 10p Play...Mystery, oh dear...Collect on mystery, Collect button broken!!! So I lost basically. Then I saw a woman play the Cash Slayer next to me and get an IM, and her collect button was working, so on she went to collect a loada cash...Lucky her... But oh well it would be better for me!

For there was a faulty Big Top machine opposite and it kept having Reel 2 failure, and the worker kept going and coming fixing it again and again...One time she dropped 20p but didnt notice...
SO the Sneaky Connisseur of Crazy Crap nicked his chance and threw it into the Cash Slayer he had been playing(Broken One) and it went off its rocker!
It went straight to an IM, paid jackpot and repeated, and had to throw one of my winnings in later to try for the repeat again but it didn't...Oh well. But when I was collecting my tenner, I thought...Oh shit! The collect button is broken! LUCKILY again, Auto payout was on and my pound coins came chucking out!
That bought me nothing really, but it's an investment....Perhaps a something for my 15th coming up!

I think an extra maths lesson is actually in order for some of you, because if you inserted £1.00 in total, and received a return of £75.00, then the solid profit is actually 7,400%...

[PJ]

Oh yes it is...

[the_witty_welshman]

% ?? i used to fiddle fruit machine? put nothing in and get 100's of profit everytime. i must say that was back when i was a child.

[Pgamblin]

Oh yes it is...

But But But.............................. aww poo'ey......
