    Default Why am I not winning?

    I have been playing Beast Sapp off and on for over a week, without going into the bonus rounds.

    I play for 10 to 15 minutes each time.

    When I first got the machine, the bonus rounds came a lot more frequently.

    I have not changed any settings to increase/decrease the odds of winning.

    Anyone else have this happen?

    Thanks

    Nothing to worry about all machines have dry spells. Keep playing & you will hit some bonus rounds again & probably find you hit a few in a run.

    Ive had this happen on my Pachislo...

    had gone on a very very long dry spell then after about a month... whamo...

    keep on feeding it tokens it will inevitably give in...

    Look at it this way, at least your not at the parlor paying for the tokens playing a dry machine. Don't worry it will hit sooner or later (later in your case) and thats half the fun. Just be warned, keep kids away from the machine because when your not looking your kids friend will put in a couple of tokens and hit your bouus round!

    Cheers,

    Have you checked the setting. I had the same problem with my Twist machine. It was unplugged for a few weeks and I couldn't win anything. I checked and found it set on 1 instead of six. I don't know if it defaulted to 1 after a time of no power or what happened. Just a thought.

    Keep any and all kids away! It's a guarantee they will steal your hard earned Bonus from you!

    When any of my machines get into this dry spell I just plunk in tokens and play it as fast as it will let me. No eye shooting...hardly even look at the reels. Then you want to see something "scary"...look in the stats system on your Sapp at the graphical display. How low can you go??? Now imagine you paid for all those tokens as vespacar said.

    I take it that's what players in real pachi parlors do, eh? Look for a machine with a long plummet on the graph and then play that one, assuming it'll come up eventually.

    Yes, if you unplug the Eleco machines for a length of time, say a week, they reset themselves (the clock at least), though I can't say I have noticed if the Odds changes back to 1 or not. The clock chip, at least, is likely being powered by a charged capacitor that eventually leaks out / uses up its juice.

    Yeah I think it's only the clock that drains after a while...mine sometimes in a couple days without power. I haven't seen a payout rate change before...although when a drought hits I always check just in case.

    I've noticed that my Twist will default back to 1, even if it's plugged in, if I haven't turned it on in a couple days.

    I had a few machines that i haven't played for awhile, they needed resetting when I turned them on, they had gone back to the 1 setting too.

    so make sure you check your settings once in awhile.
