When gaming, do you prefer to pull the handle or push the buttons to spin the reels?

I've heard that you win more when you pull the handle.   :97- :97- :97-

Me?  I'm a button pusher...many will confirm that.   :208-

Button pusher.. I mix it up and pull the handle when I want to win

uh...you didn't include people like me who like to put the game into "Auto-Play"... :200-
You can probably call me "button-pusher"...... as in remote-controlled "Max" bettor...lol

Well I hate the S+ click so the solenoid is disconnected. but I do pull the handle on the S2000 now and then
normally I use the player buttons or my auto play and remote setup

I usually like pushing the buttons, but really love pulling the handle... The reason that I don't pull much is that in my excitement to pull the handle I often slap the cashout button a few times instead of the bet one credit button! :25- :25- :25- :30- :30- :30- UGGGGGGG 5000 coins to go.................. :72- :97- :72-

Now on the 5 reel S2000's the handle releases automatically when play is ready and it acts like repeat the spin!!! :89- :89- :89- That I like!!!

I know you can set the spin button to repeat bet on S2000 can the handle act the same way?

Brian,

I tried to see if that could be done on 3 and 4 reel machines, but I could not find a way as it is really cool that way!!! I am guessing that it is coded in the 5 reel Base chip some how, or it is accomplished in whatever hardware that may be different on 5 reel machines??? :103- :103- :103-

ANYONE KNOW? :79-

I suspect it has to do with game firmware not the base chip.

I know GME 363 wont release the handle.
I do not have anything newer to see if it will work

At home I use the max bet button... At a casino; always the handle...... don't know why

Push a button for me. Although if I find a coin-in machine that is a plus! And the really old S+'s that you select cashout for every win, that's special!!! Pioneer Casino in Laughlin still has em.
The Uni Ultras have a cool short handle with a hand grip but they too have a loud solenoid.  :47-

The newest GameKings AVP have autoplay for keno. Pick your numbers, hit autoplay, chat with friends, turnaround and see all your money is gone!  :72-


Surprised that Stat hasn't responded. Rather than push or pull, I'm sure he waves while playing his Bally's Star Trek.  :88- :88- :88-

I think it would be kinda funny to install a "CLAP-ON/CLAP OFF"
in the game room to activate the "Max" bet button?

Now you're talking!  :89- :71-
Imagine walking into the room and spinning a dozen slots at one time by clapping. :244-    :92-

Bunker, that's a million dollar idea!  Go it!

Foster,

That is what I suspected at first until I compared 3 (or4?) reel machines with a 5 reel machine with the same Game chip. The handle acted the same, locked on 3-4 reel and free on 5 reel. That is what made me think that it is in the Base chip or in the hardare differences in 5 reel machines. I have never been able to find anyone with the precise answer. :25- I am guessing that it has something to do with the dual row button deck hardware. It makes sense that someone would hit "Bet 1 Coin" 1-2-3-5-9 times, but not 45-90-180+ times. They want speed of play.

I push the button.  To change it up, every now and then I might pull the handle, but I'm mostly a button pusher.
