When should yellow cab pay out ?

[grahamricho]

Hi all, still trying to figure out Yellow cab, when should it pay out ?
Still not got the fever rounds yet, but should it pay out for out else ? Also theside trap doors on the target hole at the bottom sometimes open for a split second is this random or do you do something to get this to happen, is there any hidden payout holes or is it just when you get three of the same? many thanks

Hi thanks, I know the basics but wanted to know what the two metal gates at the top did ,one on each side same chrome finish and initials as the main winning gate, also the main winning gate opens and shuts (the sides of it ) every now and then what makes this happen, just wanted to know everthing was working on it fine ?
Also does it only pay out with the main winning fever round or does it pay out on any thing else ?
Not got a fever round yet ,but had 2 the same ,lots of time, it seems you would use 1000,s of balls to get any back, whats the ratio normally on winning, i am forever using 700 balls and nothing in return, i need more balls to play with and not many in the winning top hopper ?
Final question do most people constant fire or do they fire single balls at a time, and whats a good ratio of hitting the target, I seem to fire 700 balls and only hit the target every 20 - 30 balls, and if i have 4 hearts in the memory does it not register any more untill the reels spin and knock a heart of (no more than 4 hearts in the memory at a time ?
So if you have 4 hearts is it best to stop firing ? Lots of questions , still learning !!

You can open the glass door and manually drop balls in payout pockets to check them.

some may payout, others may not. you can only bank 4 spins at a time, the same with the butterfly, which opens randonly.

You can stop shooting balls with 4 banked if you want. I usually keep up a steady stream of balls instead of one at a time.

Adjusting the pins by the main pocket also can help.

Keep adjusting you shots till you hit the sweet spot which gets more balls to the main pocket.

Most people shoot to hard in the begaining. Try just shooting to just get the ball on the playing field.
Allot of times the other pay out pockets have the nail adjusted to keep most balls out, you might need to adjust them.

Also I would buy when you can at least 1,000 more balls.

Hi Thanks for that, I manually put balls in the centre winning hole and kept the reels spinning ! It came up with 3 the same and i entered fever round 1, a little door opened so i manually fed that with balls and got it up to round 15 and then nothing , i did not win any balls ! The machine did not make any noises , i checked the balls in the top hopper and there was some checked balls in the payout shoot from the hopper and it was full , but still no balls !!
I moved the slider lever and the balls emptied on to the floor ?

Sounds like a ball jam in your ball track.

On a carpited floor turn your machine upside down, and bounce it corner to corner softly to disloadge the blockage.
This works most of the time, than set back up and do a hard reset.
Hold in reset buytton as you start the machine up hold 3 seconds and release.

Than put balls in reward tray at top and drop some balls in the pockets and see if that helped.

Hi thanks how do i hard reset it
?

[grahamricho]

I pressed the small button on the back near the bank of red leds, nothing seems to have changed ? On the machine the left ball pocket seems to be a pay out pocket , but the identical one on the right seems to be for show its all plastic behind it, whille the other one is metal and seems to have some sort of sensor behind it ? But still no balls ?
I bought it from a dealer a few weeks ago and want to test it to make sure its fine before i give him feedback on ebay.

[arbycoffee]

Ok I will be back, checking something

X is the flipper pocket you don't get any balls, just bank flipper opennings.

Z is fake, just there for looks.

A is the video start & you get some balls

B are the pay out pockets will pay out so many balls per your machine.

[Dazzyman]

It should pay out little round balls, they look like the ones u put in but there warmer as been sat in the machine for weeks

[arbycoffee]

I found it and thought of Dazzy

[Tulsa]

hmm, I wonder if that cat has an Austrian accent?

[grahamricho]

Hi could you tell me what the flipper pocket is , what do you mean about banking flipper openings .The payout pockets do not pay out if manually fed ?

[azlew]

From what I can tell from arbys picture : You only have one banking flipper area and that is labeled with the A in his picture.
As far as you not getting payouts from areas A or B when balls are manually dropped into those areas, you may not have fed enough balls into the payoff storage tray at the top back of your pachinko. Several balls have to be fed into that tray in order to feed the back plastic payoff tunnels of your Pachinko before you start seeing payoffs in front of the Pachinko. If after that you are still having no payoffs in areas A and B then that becomes a hmmm...
