What bandit to restore?

[brianh]

Sorry to give you brain-ache coppinpr. . The 3 bells just paid out 10 coins with 5 slides activating, which is good, so rather than waste any more of your time for the moment perhaps I should log in the next 20 or so payouts, what symbols, how many coins and how many slides activate. The Lemon, Cherry, Lemon combination paid out 4 a few days ago then 6 next time it came up, then 2 but I wasn't checking slides on the earlier payouts so will do so and see if some sort of pattern emerges. Could slides be part of the problem? Either way, it's a lovely machine despite its childish jokes it's playing on me, so I'm sticking with it.

Oh your machine is a loooong way from being a big problem machine, it's most likley the fact there is more than one problem that is confusing the issue. Do the stop fan thing and list what happens when you line up each and every winner. The slides could well be a problem, especially if what BP says is true and they are running the wrong coins, are dirty, or both. A good first lesson on bandit maintenance is removing the slides and cleaning them. A detailed description of how to do it exists in the hints and tips section. It can and will get fixed... it just might take some time.

OK so I don't need to give it a damn good thrashing then Will do as you suggest, starting with the slides. Thanks for your help and patience and as Arnie once said, I'll be back
