coin meters
Hi
Danny.
I
read on one of your pages that you were gonna write something up on the coin
meters. I'm looking forward to seeing
what you came up with.
I
looked through my junk to see if I had anything good to give you. All I got is
one machine that had four meters. I
noticed they weren't the same as what Phil had posted about a machine with four
meters. I put it on my website but now I
can do attachments again so I thought I'd send it to you.
Phil
has a picture of a bingo with four coin meters.
He says they are for:
Number
of plays
Number
of replays
Key
meter
Coin
out
This
one has four meters too but they are labeled as:
Total
replays
total
plays
Key
Coin
These
are arranged a little different too with two of them on the ball trough and two
of them on the side wall. I myself kind
of think these meters are used to help prevent cheating using an
"inside" person. If there were
no total replay meter, the bartender could just hand fifty bucks over to his
buddy and tell the owner and/or operator that somebody hit big last night. With the replay meter in effect they'll end
up getting busted.
Obviously
the key meter is to keep the bartender from walking over there and putting up a
bunch of games for somebody they like.
I
read somewhere somebody had one that had six meters. I wonder what they were for?
OK
talk to you later.
