Slot Machines

This past wednesday, my Dad went to a wholesalers auction and picked up a slot machine. Yep 100% vegas style. We hook it up and start plunking the supplied tokens into it.. so he gets bored and me, fan of ALL games, continues to play it. A few more pulls later I hit the big ole' 777. The machine starts going crazy making noises and I get the good ole adrenaline boost. :) So the machine goes into bonus mode.. I keep hittin and hittin and hittin. All of a sudden the machine starts playing a different noise and it appears that I broke the bank! Yep I emptied out the coin hopper. So i'm sitting here thinkin ok.. just put the key in and open it and reset it. The key didnt work. Picture this, the machine is going crazy and super loud and i'm here trying to pop open this slot machine. I would have definately been arrested in any public place going apeshit on this machine cause I couldnt open it to put more tokens in it to finish paying me my jackpot. Finally I give up and unplug it. Plug it back in and the damn machine has a memory. Weee! I start inspecting the machine closer and see there is already a hole cut open in the back conviently above the hopper. Woohoo! So I drop a few handfulls of tokens in the hopper and wait for it to spit em back out. Nope it refuses to. I break down and read the manual and it tauntingly tells me I have to hit a reset button. Of course I cannot open the machine. Getting a little upset at this point, I start flailing my hands inside the machine looking for some way to open the front or feel around for a reset button... 6 hours later.. I found the button. You laugh but the payout of jackpot made the whole thing worth it. :D
