Thankyou so much, just got my first fruity called Hotshot by Reflex and only know basics like filling it up so im excited to start playing again been about 2 decades since i used to rinse them regularly in pubs
Very impressed I have it's amazing. And did not know much about the insides. The last fruit machines I had we're back in 1987. They never had hoppers it was long plastic tubes so when I came across ur video I found it very informative. I believe I've watched it bout 6times but have learned loads. Thank you once again
Hi been watching your blog,I wonder if you can shed some light on my machine devil of a deal,just recently some of the buttons have stop functioning any ideas?
I've change the stake dip switches on the plugin module to 20p play but it just reverts to 30p play. Is there another dip switch that's overriding it somewhere?
Just got that exact machine, from the look of mine the start button does not light up, I can see there are three bulbs in each reel and a couple of those look out. How do these get changed.
Hello nclosecombat13. You have saved my life and my hair. Thanks. I had an error message on my new, Star wars a new hope machine. 16-OC. I watched your vid and to cut a long and very stressful day I have sorted it. I had to push the reset button on my note changer. Thanks again buddy, and keep up the good work.....
Hi great videos I'm new to this and just have got my first fruit machine I have noticed that the reels are slightly moved over to the right is there a way of moving the three of them back over to the left I would appreciate your help
Great Video! Very helpful for fruit machine novices like myself!! I have a quick question, I've just got a Barcrest Star Wars- New Hope genesis machine, and ive worked out how to get it into demo/free play mode but im getting an error that says no ID chip/Characteriser, with an alarm. I unplug the speakers and it sorts itself eventually but id like to get it sorted if you have any advice? I read it may be a case of replacing the battery on the programme board, but ive never soldered anything for years so id like to know for definite if thats what i need to do before i risk wrecking my new toy! Cheers!
Ding Oo7 it’s a battery issue, you need a new battery on the program board, there are sites where you can send your board away and they will fix the issue and reload your game programme on there. It costs about 35 quid iirc
Great video, ive just bought a jailbirds machine, turns on and all good then goes off after around 30 minutes (fuse blows on mains plug) any ideas on what could be causing this. thanks in advance
I would say your power supply is knackered. If it's blowing the main plug fuse.. failing that it could be the main board itself.. however yours is mpu5 and Ive never seen one blow a main fuse itself without a psu issue. They're normally quite cheap on eBay try the psu first.
thanks very much for response, have tried it again and noticed that the main fuse did not blow but still goes off after around 40 minutes (every time) is there a way to test psu or should I just replace it. thanks again
Great video cheers. Can you help me? I have a cops and robbers streetwise force, Scorpion 5 with a NV10USB+ note reader. The note reader errors Mech NP 15, the key says valid though?. If I dip 8 off all is good and it the machine boots up fine. I need to pair up the note reader? Any tips? Thanks
Great informitive vid Nick.. Could you give us a little advice..I just brought a second hand Cash attack genesis machine..Everytime it switched on it says invalid key and stays like that or if it does start to spin goes into demo mode an free play.. I've tried to sort out the problem but no joy.. It also sends coins straight into bottom tins and doesnt fill top coin hopper for paying out..Any help would be gladly recieved..Ps Where would i get a manual for this machine..Cheers
I'm afraid this issue is normally caused by a corrupt ID chip. Which is situated between the top two speakers. Check to make sure it's sitting correctly.
Just bought a spares or repairs Great Escape by Maygay.No keys for it,does nothing when plugged in.Just wondering if there is a power on switch inside the machine in the top area near the motherboard etc that might be off.Many thanks
that works fine it just needs bringing back to it's shiny self.....going to have a go at fitting a note acceptor, I've an NV10 and an NV8 which I'm gonna try ....my other machines are D.O.N.D. Can you beat the banker which is now mint with a notey fitted.....and a club casino crazy fruits....all good fun....anyway "basically" lol...just wanted to say thanx and hope there's more to come....;)

Hi Nick I Have just bought a Rainbow Riches Barcrest Lotta Luck Fruit machine it looks just like yours apart from mine now has key fobs attached instead of test buttons. The reason im on here is it has the face plate etc on the machine but im not sure if a note acceptor is fitted. The note acceptor light comes on once it reaches around £100 in the hopper and when i put the note in it sucks it through and an alarm comes on saying please call manager im just wondering what i need to do to test it or fix it as i didnt think the machine would suck the notes through if there wasnt an acceptor fitted. any help will be appreciated thanx p.s if i need a note acceptor how easy is it to fit knowing its kind of working already thanx
Hi Nick, great video. I’m having some trouble with my new fruit machine- it’s an old coronation street (not quite sure the model). Has worked fine for weeks but randomly blacked out whilst playing today? I unplugged and plugged, tried to reset but still no life. Any tips?
Hi thankyou for your very imformative video of basic fruit machine matienance,iam a fruit machine engineer myself,and have three machines myself in my collection including club celebration,casino crazy fruits gold,and crackpot club 60 i repair them then sell them on sometimes,what other machine have you got?would be interesting to share information with you.kind regards john.

On my crash bang wallop MPU5 Barcrest I get reel D error alarm 24-A7 error when booting up. Any advice please no wires are obstructing it and housing of reel seems fine can’t understand it at all.
HI i have just bought a barcrest pacman power up mpu6 fruit machine and noticed today when I opened the bottom part of the machine where the power pack there are 2 coin trays in one tray there was 50p, 20p etc like I expected to see but in the other there was lots and lots of pound coins. When I first got the machine the bloke did something so the machine would think there was money in it so I could play. When I got it home I straight away put £100 in it so it would cover the jackpot and I thought it would all go in the big hopper thing. So I was surprised to see any in the black tray at the bottom. There is still some money in the hopper because I took it out and rattled it and there was definitely some money in there. I have have no idea how much is in the hopper or how much is in the trays but I thought the hopper held hundreds and I would say the max i have put in the machine is say £150. Is there anyway I can empty the hopper then reset the machine so I can then feed the hopper and know exactly how much is in there and more importantly the machine knows exactly how much is in there? Many thanks for your help, if this can be done and you could talk me through it over phone id ofcourse drop some money in a paypal account for your time.
hi ive got a gold rush bandit everything works apart from the display in the middle telling you how much youve won theres one wire running from it to the board,and also do they use more than 1 power lead or not ty
Hi,Very informative.I have a similar machine,don't suppose you could give me some advice-I keep getting "ON/OFF Alm 48" after the initialising comes on.Alarm sounds for about 30 seconds then stops and can play machine,but comes on every time I start up.Can you advise what to do to clear it so it won't come on and deafen me everytime?!
Hi nick I have a genesis / MPU5 barcrest Revolution not used it for a few mouths I turn it on today and iam getting Alarm 20 - 61 Reel unit missing unit - 0. Any ideas what's happen.
peter guirdham Sounds like one of the reel connectors has pulled loose. Open the upper cabinet, and look behind the reels, you should see a circuit board mounted vertically, and each reel connects into it with a white push-fit connector. Make sure it hasn't half pulled out.
Hi , I have backrest hot stuff when I put a £1 coin to play it goes straight to the hopper . Does anyone know how do you you get the money to go to the bottom to the cash box instead of going straight to the hopper please .

Hows things mate i have a lifes a beach fruit machine and it keeps saying opt 100p ALM 01 i only bought it im mot to sure on how to fix it any help would be much appreciated cheers
Hi. It could be your coin mech, possible jam.. or I think more likely a jam or dirt in your hopper. You'll need to open machine and access the hopper.. empty it of any coins and check where they get shot out.. either a jam in there or stick a bit of cloth in the hole and clean the sensors.. good luck

Hi, before I ask a question, great video man, just bought my first fruit machine and you helped me out alot!! Thankyou :) Just a quick one, my fruit machine is a £5 jackpot, I know that I can change the percentages and stakes as you mentioned, but I was just wondering about the decals, coz regardless what I change it too, the decals will remain the same (obviously haha), any advice?
I have a bar crest count ya cash and when you turn it on it says call manager and alarm goes off but it works in demo mode when you open the draw but switches off when you close it?? How do I get it to start working normally???
dansterry check the wire going into the switch. They are a nasty cheap way of wiring switches by pushing the wire into a metal blade within the connector and it relies on it puncturing the wires pvc jacket and then connecting to the bare wire inside. These often have bad connections or come loose. Pull the wire out, cut 1cm off the end (so you will be using fresh undamaged wire) and refit the wire back in by pressing it into the blade with a flat head screwdriver. Take your time and ensure the blade cuts into the wire and connects nicely. Your switch should work again. Also make sure the switch in pushed back into the plastic switch housing properly otherwise the switch will move in and out but not actually make the physical switch click
Gavin Parkinson Go inside your arcade cabinet and locate the main circuit board. It will have two push in connector plugs, short stumpy ones that look like the old computer joystick ports. One is for your jackpot and stake adjustment, one is for your payout percentage. They are colour coded push fit plugs for different values but many people have changed them to switchable ones that have a small block of dip switches numbered 1-8 with tiny white peg switches. Different combinations give different values eliminating the need for multiple coloured keys. They just push in! Some may have the two screws turned to prevent it pulling out.
hi I wonder if anyone could help I have a club vegas by barcrest mpu4 I am having trouble refill machine plus is not empty hopper also wen you win no money is coming out eithe? it turns to swallow pounds coin plus 20 p 50p and 10 p are fine any help much appreciated ?

Hello, I've recently purchased a red gaming super lineup anniversary machine. The chap I bought it off has fitted a note acceptor that only activates when you press a button inside to 'fool' it that the machine is empty (??)...anyway I'd like to find out if it's possible to change it so that it's constantly enabled without having to open the cab and pressing the button. The machine runs on an MPU5. Thanks in advance.

Hey Nick, wondering if you could help. I have a Global Games "Money Magic" Fruit Machine. It had been working perfectly for years on 'demo' and normal mode. But recently when I start it up, it goes through all the initialising setup all ok, but when you start playing then, the machine and lights just freeze, the buttons don't work with it either. Can you tell me what's causing the freezing of the machine all of a sudden? Cheers 🙂
Can somebody help me my note acceptor that takes New 5 New 10 old 20 works then I turn it off and back on then it says coins only when I try to put notes. Can someone help please?
Hi mate I have a empire games machine and today it has started playing up, when I turn it on the green status light flashes 12 times green and then flashes 1 time red and it just doesn't boot. I looks at the light meanings and it said "trace exception" any idea what that means ? Cheers
Braintree Bouncy Castles oh I didn't read you comment properly. No alarm sounds. The only signs of life is the green lights and the empire games light at the top of the machine

Hi I find your video really useful, I have just bought a second hand barrcrest mega zone machine, I have a note acceptor already attached, the note acceptor loads up and spins at initial switch on, however I can't get it to accept notes, so I followed your steps near the end of this video to get into the menu, and it will go through every menu selection apart from the BNV menu, I can't seem to get this to appear, am I doing something wrong, or is the note acceptor fucked, I just find it strange that it loads up but I can't seem to get it to pair up with the machine
Matthew Foster the note acceptor s a nv8m, the machine is 2004, the note acceptor motor kicks in every time the machine is powered on and off, the four switches are all down, so the note machine is receiving power, but not doing much else, please help
***** I never received a refill key with mine, the normal lock key doesn't fit, I'll go onto eBay now and but a complete new lock, and give it a go, I will let you know how I got on, thank you
Matthew Foster The refill key is to a lockable switch, not a standard cabinet lock so you would need to buy a refill key loackable switch. However, you needn't buy the lock in your case, as they all take the same key so just buying a refill key iteself to use in your old lock would suffice.
Hi i got a barcrest cash attack was working fine the turned it on alarm keep rining with error code 52-36 also displaying no id chip and no charactaristics any ideas how to fix
I'm afraid this issue is normally caused by a corrupt ID chip. Which is situated between the top two speakers. Check to make sure it's sitting correctly.
Hi I've got a Maygay machine I've recently had dreaded battery leak but I've got the board running again i can play machine but I've just made up a battery fly lead to bottom of cabinet so can't damage nothing at top of machine... But I'm now gettin alarm on/off error where it triggers an alarm for a few seconds then it fires up and is playable. Is this something to do with the 1 to 8 - 9 to 16 switches?
Hi nick.i have a extreme gaming machine bucket loads,£5 jackpot.i want to set it to 25 jackpot.the keys on the board are first 3 down,next 2 up,next 3 down..but when i change them round i can get 25 jackpot ,but keep saying invalid key.any ideas combination,thanks
***** you are not setting the dipswitch correctly. You have to have a valid configuration, getting the config wrong or unplugging the key will default the machine to a standard £25 jackpot but in your case it is still notifying you that the config dipswitches are incorrect. Just google 'Barcrest stake settings'
You should have four green solid LEDs lit and a single led that should (if all working correctly) flash green every second or so. If the flash is red for whatever reason you have an error. You can tell what the error is by watching the red flashes (count them) and then the green flash (count them). So it'll be something like 2 red flashes, 5 green flashes.. just an example, but This'll tell me what's wrong with it. Lete know and we'll go from there. Keep the program card plugged in when you do this.
Hi Nick Baker........Do you know of any fruit machine engineers that do house calls in the Hertfordshire area? Have a Barcrest Boulder Dash machine with an alarm that keeps going off.......Regards Dave Webber (Stevenage)

HI i have just bought a barcrest pacman power up mpu6 fruit machine and noticed today when I opened the bottom part of the machine where the power pack there are 2 coin trays in one tray there was 50p, 20p etc like I expected to see but in the other there was lots and lots of pound coins.

Hi,Very informative.I have a similar machine,don't suppose you could give me some advice-I keep getting "ON/OFF Alm 48" after the initialising comes on.Alarm sounds for about 30 seconds then stops and can play machine,but comes on every time I start up.Can you advise what to do to clear it so it won't come on and deafen me everytime?!
I get a error on a luck of the Irish bandit. say = SETUP NOTE VAL any clue what i need to do? Thanks
Hi nick I have a genesis / MPU5 barcrest Revolution not used it for a few mouths I turn it on today and iam getting Alarm 20 - 61 Reel unit missing unit - 0. Any ideas what's happen.
peter guirdham Sounds like one of the reel connectors has pulled loose. Open the upper cabinet, and look behind the reels, you should see a circuit board mounted vertically, and each reel connects into it with a white push-fit connector. Make sure it hasn't half pulled out.

Hows things mate i have a lifes a beach fruit machine and it keeps saying opt 100p ALM 01 i only bought it im mot to sure on how to fix it any help would be much appreciated cheers
Hi. It could be your coin mech, possible jam.. or I think more likely a jam or dirt in your hopper. You'll need to open machine and access the hopper.. empty it of any coins and check where they get shot out.. either a jam in there or stick a bit of cloth in the hole and clean the sensors.. good luck
@@InsidetheArcade thanks very much mate for getting back to me will give that a shot and see if that works thanks again much appreciate it

Hi I have an ant and dec poker night and the start button has stopped working I changed the minis witch but still not working any ideas?
dansterry check the wire going into the switch. They are a nasty cheap way of wiring switches by pushing the wire into a metal blade within the connector and it relies on it puncturing the wires pvc jacket and then connecting to the bare wire inside. These often have bad connections or come loose.
Pull the wire out, cut 1cm off the end (so you will be using fresh undamaged wire) and refit the wire back in by pressing it into the blade with a flat head screwdriver. Take your time and ensure the blade cuts into the wire and connects nicely.
Your switch should work again. Also make sure the switch in pushed back into the plastic switch housing properly otherwise the switch will move in and out but not actually make the physical switch click
Hi i have a barcrest and have just purchaced a percentage key how do i fit it?? thanks
Gavin Parkinson Go inside your arcade cabinet and locate the main circuit board. It will have two push in connector plugs, short stumpy ones that look like the old computer joystick ports.
One is for your jackpot and stake adjustment, one is for your payout percentage.
They are colour coded push fit plugs for different values but many people have changed them to switchable ones that have a small block of dip switches numbered 1-8 with tiny white peg switches.
Different combinations give different values eliminating the need for multiple coloured keys.
They just push in! Some may have the two screws turned to prevent it pulling out.
any idea where I would find the speaker on monopoly hot property bought off eBay but cant get sound cheers mate

Hello, I've recently purchased a red gaming super lineup anniversary machine. The chap I bought it off has fitted a note acceptor that only activates when you press a button inside to 'fool' it that the machine is empty (??)...anyway I'd like to find out if it's possible to change it so that it's constantly enabled without having to open the cab and pressing the button. The machine runs on an MPU5. Thanks in advance.
+Simon Lee Great video by the way.
Just been told the note acceptor is an NV10

Hey Nick, wondering if you could help.
I have a Global Games "Money Magic" Fruit Machine. It had been working perfectly for years on 'demo' and normal mode.
But recently when I start it up, it goes through all the initialising setup all ok, but when you start playing then, the machine and lights just freeze, the buttons don't work with it either.
Can you tell me what's causing the freezing of the machine all of a sudden?
Cheers 🙂

Hi mate I have a empire games machine and today it has started playing up, when I turn it on the green status light flashes 12 times green and then flashes 1 time red and it just doesn't boot. I looks at the light meanings and it said "trace exception" any idea what that means ? Cheers
Braintree Bouncy Castles just checked for coin jams and nothing there. Will now try what you said. Cheers
Braintree Bouncy Castles oh I didn't read you comment properly. No alarm sounds. The only signs of life is the green lights and the empire games light at the top of the machine
Braintree Bouncy Castles by the coin acceptor do you mean the hopper?
I know how to unplug the hopper but not the coin acceptor

I recently bought a Barcrest Alien machine but the volume needs turning up. I have the fobs to empty hopper etc, but no key. Anyone tell me how to do it please?
Hi I find your video really useful, I have just bought a second hand barrcrest mega zone machine, I have a note acceptor already attached, the note acceptor loads up and spins at initial switch on, however I can't get it to accept notes, so I followed your steps near the end of this video to get into the menu, and it will go through every menu selection apart from the BNV menu, I can't seem to get this to appear, am I doing something wrong, or is the note acceptor fucked, I just find it strange that it loads up but I can't seem to get it to pair up with the machine
Matthew Foster the note acceptor s a nv8m, the machine is 2004, the note acceptor motor kicks in every time the machine is powered on and off, the four switches are all down, so the note machine is receiving power, but not doing much else, please help
***** I never received a refill key with mine, the normal lock key doesn't fit, I'll go onto eBay now and but a complete new lock, and give it a go, I will let you know how I got on, thank you
Matthew Foster The refill key is to a lockable switch, not a standard cabinet lock so you would need to buy a refill key loackable switch.
However, you needn't buy the lock in your case, as they all take the same key so just buying a refill key iteself to use in your old lock would suffice.
Absolute great tutorial mate, thanks very much!
Hi i got a barcrest cash attack was working fine the turned it on alarm keep rining with error code 52-36 also displaying no id chip and no charactaristics any ideas how to fix
I'm afraid this issue is normally caused by a corrupt ID chip. Which is situated between the top two speakers. Check to make sure it's sitting correctly.
Hi I've got a Maygay machine I've recently had dreaded battery leak but I've got the board running again i can play machine but I've just made up a battery fly lead to bottom of cabinet so can't damage nothing at top of machine... But I'm now gettin alarm on/off error where it triggers an alarm for a few seconds then it fires up and is playable. Is this something to do with the 1 to 8 - 9 to 16 switches?
Braintree Bouncy Castles I've resolved it, it's to do with the doors being open and closed too often basically tamper proof alarm
Hey m8 iv got a road hog it's no registering money that I put in how can I fix this need asap bud first machine n I haven't a clue
Hi nick.i have a extreme gaming machine bucket loads,£5 jackpot.i want to set it to 25 jackpot.the keys on the board are first 3 down,next 2 up,next 3 down..but when i change them round i can get 25 jackpot ,but keep saying invalid key.any ideas combination,thanks
***** you are not setting the dipswitch correctly. You have to have a valid configuration, getting the config wrong or unplugging the key will default the machine to a standard £25 jackpot but in your case it is still notifying you that the config dipswitches are incorrect.
Just google 'Barcrest stake settings'
I have a RED HOLT light which changes from that to STATUS light after removing game card, any ideas what that fault may be?
You should have four green solid LEDs lit and a single led that should (if all working correctly) flash green every second or so. If the flash is red for whatever reason you have an error. You can tell what the error is by watching the red flashes (count them) and then the green flash (count them). So it'll be something like 2 red flashes, 5 green flashes.. just an example, but This'll tell me what's wrong with it.
Lete know and we'll go from there.
Keep the program card plugged in when you do this.
