    Default Why only max bet

    Is there any way to reprogram these to allow playing 1bet or credit? Silent hill or ultraman ST? Some times the max bet thing is a pain when you only have 1 or 2 credits remaining and want to play out. I know tiny inconvenience but the machines have a bet button already.

    Are you saying this is the only way they are played in a parlor? So why the one bet button?

    Yes many are now max bet only but still have the one/two bet buttons. I guess it’s for aesthetics more than anything. I use to watch and wonder why some people in casinos would hit bet 1 five times instead of hitting the max bet button.

    I play the same way you do. I don’t care to leave those last 2 token credits hanging there. I need to use them but it will cost me something more! LOL Perhaps it is out of my old habit of playing in the US casinos that way.

    It is cost effective for the manufacturer to design a cabinet to work the different games. Some games may be 1, 2 or 3 bet games, while others are 3 bet only games, (Max Bet Only).

    Instead of making different cabinets, they just use the same cabinet and enable or disable any features needed for whatever game is going into that cabinet.
