Author -=The Firestarter=- ---------------------------------------------------------- [ Fruit Machine refill keys ] ---------------------------------------------------------- A "refill key", for those not in the know on such thing's, is simply a key that fits in the little keyhole on the front of almost every fruit machine under the sun and allows you too see a few useful bits of information as well as changing the volume (tho this is not recommended as it attracts attention). Ok, the process is simple, you insert the key, turn it to the right, usually the machine flashes and hey-presto you now have access to the information that will probably decide how much money you're willing to put in it. While you can't do thing's like force the machine to pay out, or get free credits. You can see how much the last person put in the machine, how much the last person won, and some machines even tell you how much is in the payout hopper (obviously a full hopper will pay more than an empty one). I've come across a couple of machine makes that the keys don't work in, namely Red Gaming and Big Mazooma (both of which i don't recommend playing - very unfair play cycles that hardly pay unless your the lucky fucker that sinks a quid in and it rolls in a jackpot - not worth the gamble). BWB, Impulse, JPM, Maygay, Vivid, Ace, Astra, Barcrest and Bellfruit machines, no problem at all. Using keys in pubs and clubs can be a bit dodgy, although its not illegal in the slightest to use the key, it won't be seen as harmless fun as it evidently looks like your cheating. i'm sure u know what i mean. personally i recommend getting a couple of your mates round the machine when its busy and use it. The machine will usually flash once or twice when the keys been turned, some require you to hold down buttons when turning the key, but other that that the simple flash won't get noticed by anyone. hitting buttons on the machine flips though the options and the last button - usually the collect one, is used to view the information. IF the last person pumped in £10 (without running out of credits or it'll think its another player) and won shit, then it might be worth playing a few quid to see what you can get back (or even if they only won £3/4) I guess that it all depends on the machine and sadly thats up to you to figure out. I'd highly recommend to anyone that wishes to dable in the arts of playing the fruits to always start simple and with one machine. I.e, your local pub gets a new fruit machine every 3/4 months, if your in the pub every Friday/Saturday/Sunday then sit where you can see it (usually you'll need to be at whatever table is closest to it), when they get on the board and are gambling on a lot of cash, study everything. See what they're doing to remain on the board - is it the machine or what they're doing, what does the machine do to kill them and how often does it pay. If a machine pays out a lot of money over a period of time (Mortal Wombat for example), you may put in £5 and win £3, you play it more and put £10, win back £10, but put it back in again and only win £5. BUT when the machine has played like this for a while it'll pay you £7 for your £2. You'll get on the board lots and if you kill yourself, most of the time your next spin will drop you on there right away. Gambling up on nudges/cash bonus's takes time, but if your careful, then you will walk away with a nice win. Machines like this will take money mostly through the week and pay out over the weekend (depending on how busy the pub/club is and how often the machine gets played) While this fun technique of paying you back atleast some of the money you put in, will keep you coming back for more. the advantage is, once you know its pay cycle routine and you master its "jackpot" technique, you'll take the jackpot the moment its ready to pay it out. Mortal Wombat for example, once its up to paying you £10 and you line up the jackpot symbols below the win line (with the center one on the win line), collect the lame bonus of super hold and line them up! £25 every time. Machines like this are good targets for the 'ol refill key - you'll soon learn when the machine is in its paying cycle (most of the time it'll pay more than you put in, but you MUST be prepared to pump in £5 or £10 to get there), once its in that mood, just abuse your jackpot skills and walk away with another couple of hours beer money! ***THE FAMOUS MORTAL WOMBAT CHEAT THAT JACKPOTTED THE MACHINE FOR US EVERY **** **** WEEK FOR 6 WEEKS **** Ok so play the machine as normal until it gives you a Vivid symbol on the middle like. It will offer you a hidden feature, asking you to hit the hold buttons in a certain order. Press 1 ,3 ,2 and get Wax on, Wax off. first wax on / wax off is for something like a quid. KILL YOURSELF ON IT it will give you about half a dozen nudges. Take them as soon as you can and work on either the left or right reel and get a vivid symbol BELOW the win line. Do this on bot the left and right one leaving the vivid symbol in the middle. This will take several wax on wax offs. Once this is done play as normal but keep your eye on the very top middle bonus board, you'll see the third option is "Super Hold" Play until you get this and take it. if its not offered and it goes over, then take nudges and move the reel right round again until the vivid symbol is below the win line again. Once super hold is taken, just line up the jackpot symbols. This cheat can usually be done twice a week on the machine if its in a busy pub. ----------------- The use of a refill key must obviously fit in with your gambling strategy. but since the information is so useful its not hard to see what to do. That all said though, even armed with your refill key and all the knowledge in the world, if the machine doesn't want to pay, it won't. Know the machine there are thousands out there, pick one or two at a time and watch them and play them, once you know what to do, you can start to win back all of the money you put in. Refill keys are fairly cheap thing's, you can pick them up for as little as £1.50 If your having trouble obtaining one, i recommend ebay, they stock stuck loverly things. failling that make us a donation and i'll get you one cut and posted out!
