Title: payout problem 2
Post by: mark the spark on November 14, 2011, 06:20:32 PM
i have a slimline continental 4reeler a nice machine pays right to left and left to right
but whilst playing it just to keep it ticking over i hit 4 bars which pays 200 coins
only it paid 320 thought it was going to empty the hopper but it did stop paying out i then checked the payouts all were fine to the jackpot payouts
it has 2 at 200 and the 4 bars are supposed to be 150 but its been painted over the award so not sure on that one but it seems to pay 320 coins
instead of 200 so any ideas ?

OK having been snowed under by replies i`ve been  sat on the bog reading my pictorial guide to hoppers  all week
having a look again this morning a couple of things stuck in my mind
1/ most problems can be found with a visual
2/ that the torsion spring can cause runaway payouts

i noticed that the torsion spring on the ratchet had a cap and washer to hold it on but this was halfway off and the spring looked wrong
i put the cap back on the spring then sat nicely  and now the jackpot payouts are fine
