fruit machine

hiscan

dont know if this is the right place to be asking this but here goes
bought a full size fruit machine for my games room its set so you dont have to put any money in it but i find it takes away some of the fun when you dont actually win anything is there anyway it can be changed?

Mr. Presentable

Put your alcohol budget in the machine and reset it. You only drink what you win!

hiscan

i think you misunderstand me there is no hopper in the machine for taking money its just free play all the time just virtual winnings just wondering if you can change it back to its original state by fitting a money hopper into it there was one there originally because the slot is there on the outside for the c\oins

What type of machine is it?Photos.

hiscan

a full size machine that you would find in most chippers and takeaways around the country
its made by barcrest

Mitchomagic

You could check Happ Controls - they might have the part you're looking for and they have a UK division.

On a side note - is it possible to get anyof the old style "one-armed" bandits that take Euros ? (As opposed to the newer digital ones)

Also Mitch - Are you one of the people who run Irishretrogamer ?

A bit on the pricey side for parts.

ALL depends how old,there is conversions that can be done,The other option is to get a some old coins to run the machine

Try give the company Automatic Amusements a buzz, they are based on Dorset St in Dublin. I know we do fruit machines but I am not involved with them directly. Can't hurt to ring!
