I want to make sense of the hard meters for a PE+ machine in order to ascertain the return to player over the life of the machine. I assume there is a calculation I can make, but faced with five different blocks of meters inside the machine I don't know where to start. Can anyone offer me a way to perform the calc?

I do not think you can figured out this cause the hard meters may be  "0'd" many times. And if the denomination of this machine was very low, this could happened very often. The hard meters have seven digits and if the denomination was 1 cent it will zero the meter every 10,000USD. So there is no way for safe conclusions.

Hi Harry,

Have you tried turning the Jackpot Reset key?  That shows the amounts the machine paid out.

Also soft meters can be erased many times. I thing there is  no  way to calculate it unless you own this machine from the beginning and you have not cleared the ram.

Ok thanks for that. Let's say in the event that I can control the full history of meters, or in any given period, which of the blocks of meters would give me enough data to work out the current operating percentage of the machine?

The first is the coin in and the second is the coin out. It must be a sticker underneath every meter.
 These two are enough to find out how much money the machine took and how much money it paid. You should write them down now and after the period you want find the difference between then and now in order to calculate what you want.
Keep on mind these meters could fail. So do not take them for certain. Write down and the soft meters too, to compare them. Electronic meters cannot go wrong, only can be erased after a ram failure

Thanks Nikstar, I will follow that advice and see what the calculation brings  :88-
