I run a pub and the machines operators claim there is no such thing as using magnets etc to cheat, but I see the same people winning.

Hi

Best thing to do is wait until someone has paid quite a bit into it and not won much. You go on it and you always win.

They pay out the jack pot once they have had so much put into them.

You may notice you see these people hanging around them.

Its not cheating - its just working them i guess.

Not as far as I know. I used to have a friend who lived in a pub and we used to watch the men come and service the machines, there was a little button on each to set them to how many times a win took place hence I never play them as I know they are fixed.

you cant cheat but there is a system of sequences that the machine runs through
people watch the sequences and then know when to bet this along with the people who win a lot play a lot too but you only notice them when they win and not when they are spending pound after pound on the thing

Its just their luck, there is a way to cheat there is a pattern and if you know what the pattern is then you can win eg. every 30th person wins so if the person is counting when it goes to 29 they have a go and win!

They are set at a % payout, And will payout no more and no less than the set amount.

yes get the key which tell you how much money is in the machines so you know if they got a lot a money in them they will pay out but if they haven’t they wont they use the key to see when they should cash up the machines and how much money they got in there business .
but they are replacing key with tec because you don’t have to pay tec also the tec will tell you how much is in all of their machines at any one time and when is they high point ect ect

It’s a common misconception that a machine is “due” to pay out after a period of not paying. This is wrong - a fruit machine has exactly the same chance to pay out a jackpot on every single spin. A machine that is built any other way is illegal in most jurisdictions.

There are ways to cheat fruit machines with magnets, but only the old type of machines with spinning reels. I’m not sure of the exact details, but when I was a kid, one of my friend’s brothers got 3 years jail in the UK for doing exactly that.

There was a recent case of a casino in the UK that had its automatic roulette machines sabotaged with the assistance of one of the technicians, but I’ve no idea how it worked - apparently some kind of magnet gizmo.

I think there is a way to cheat .. but i think that the owners of the machines are not telling.. why would they… but it sucks because its so addictive….!

The best thing to do is not to sit and watch what is being put into the machine it will make no difference what so ever.
There is no little button inside the machine to set the amount of wins.
There is also no set system of sequences or cycles that a machine goes through.
I have never heard of the group of men that went around the country taking money from the machines.
There is as Denise B says a set % on the machines.
Spin is a little right but again Magnets I’ve never heard of. The old machines with spinning reels used to cheated using Black and Decker strimmer wire, it was possible because the older machines use what was known as a mars mechanism and you could physically add credits.
The only other way that I know about was by waiting for a payout then sticking something up the tube that the coins came down and keeping the hopper open. This way the US machines were done on a large scale.
As for placing a magnet on an AR wheel, it makes no difference. You would have to have a ball that was metal and the magnate would have to be very powerful and therefore quite big.
The only problem with the automatic AR machines that I’m aware of was when the were first manufactured the pressure settings for the wheel rotation and the firing of the ball where the same for both directions so you got a lot of numbers in the same sections. This problem was sorted out early on.
