    Hi Dave/Deano,
    Thanks for that - Im pretty sure it is the routing plug, as it looks like it has been modified at some time and all the wires are twisted together - Im guessing this was when 5p/£2 coins were introduced, but I might be wrong.

    Ive done resets and a hopper dump/refil but it still sems to divert £2 to the hopper. Its not a massive problem though, I was just wondering whether anyone knew of a quick fix.

    Thanks for the advice so far, and if anyone things of anything else please let me know ;O)

    Thanks again, Mark :o)

    Refill keys used to work on fruit machines, but now the vast majority of them will either set off a very loud alarm when the keys are used, or will only work if the machine is opened up already. Any machines left where the keys would still work, usually have the keyswitch disconnected by the operator.

    As far as a player is concerned, the information given out by using a refill key is only really useful if you already have a detailed knowledge of the payout cycles of that particular machine, and had been observing it for the last few thousand plays, but in that case you'd probably have a good idea whether the machine is likely to pay out without resorting to using the refill key.

    I don't know any operators that use refill keys, so they seem a bit of a pointless thing to me. But we have caught a few people trying them in the arcades and have confiscated the keys and forcibly ejected them from the premesis.
