I wonder if The Bandit heard this.. When the fotb came out the 1st week or 2, you could switch them off from the mains if your bet was losing, complain to the staff & either get money returned or a payout for some profit….
Or anyone else can comfirm this worked… ?
you could play blackjack in one bookies, before you hit or stood on your hand you could not play a “bad hand” turn the machine off an on and your bet would still be in the balance.(I found this out during a power cut in the town I was playing, some must have made quite a bit out of doing it)
On the old cash quest terminals you could crash the machine and get a ticket print out on losing spins, never an exact science getting the timing right, only could be done a couple of times before it looked suspicious.(found this out whilst hitting all the buttons at once and tapping the screen during a losing run).
All these type of tricks pretty much died when the counter management units started being used.
