Fill Checks

 Everyone knows that when the machine is under paying the Customer will be first to complain, but not many will tell you that the machine is over paying.
 
I still joke around with the bartender that called for service over 4 years now, the customer said the game was over paying - and it was. But the point is that it was one (1) Customer and over 4 years ago.

  Many may think that the Fill Check is a waist of time, because more and more people use the game as a change machine and you will not find anything wrong. 

BUT when you do find one that is over paying and do the Math, you will understand it wont take many games Over paying to cover the cost & time it takes to do a fill check.

(THEY ARE NOT A WAIST OF TIME).

When a machine requires the 3ed hopper fill, or in some cases it’s the 4th hopper fill in a twenty four hour period, the Slot Tech will get a call for a FILL CHECK.

1)  HOPPER TEST = In the games test mode, you can test the Hopper and it will pay out 10 coin. Repeat the 5 or 6 times, double check the hopper knife & Optics Etc.
2)     HOPPER PROBE = Using the machine input test, Check the Hopper Level Probe
3)     DIVERTER = Using the machines output test, check the Diverter for proper operation
4)     BILLS = Use the Bill history to double check and insure that the number of credits issued for each bill match up.
SAMPLE:
Need to make sure, that a $ game is set for a $. Can you imagine what kind of credits that you would get if it were set for a Quarter or Nickel?
5)     Also you would want to check, the game options, like hopper pay level ETC.
