Wow.
Remember in the last post about the key fobs that people are selling, I saw another one on ebay last night, and the buyer had posted feedback (negative) with a link to 2 pics, the pics seem to be down at the moment, but they were quite revealing.
They showed the "device", this miraculous manipulator, opened up so you could see what was inside it. Guess what was inside............
Nothing, other than three 1 pence coins taped inside to give the item some weight....
Now surely the seller does not expect a plastic case with 3 one pence coins to actually make a fruit machine payout more money than its supposed to? Nah, its fraud.
I also forgot to mention the other device, the so called new one (which is in fact the oldest of the lot) - on sale for around 55 UK pounds. Save yourself some money, if you actually want to try this (On a machine you 0wn only) - go out and buy a cheap piezo electric cooker/gas lighter for a couple of pounds. Why? Because thats all these things are......
Years ago people claimed to get free credits from the old arcade machines by sparking them, now in the olden days, this may have worked, but newer machines, well put it this way - if it could be done, they would not be on the market, as they would never make any money as everyone would be doing it......... Not to mention the extra security built in to machines, and the fact that even if you did manage to "confuse" it there is no way you could predict what it would do, and in reality it would just end up resetting.......
