The last thing Bob Dancer is is superstitious. He's looking for a
machine that might be malfunctioning to his advantage.

Has anyone actually found a machine that is malfunctioning to the
players advantage? .......... I have never come across a machine
where the game itself was malfunctioning.
--------------------------------------------
The only malfunctioning vp machine that I've played was an old
coin-dropper that continuosly registered more credits than the
the number of coins inserted. The most frequent "malfunction" was
registering 5 credits when only 4 coins had been inserted.
Sometimes, it did this when only 3 coins had been fed in. Instead
of taking the coins smoothly, it seemed to almost "hiccup" and then
"skip" prior to showing that full coin had been inserted.
I played this 9/6JoB for hours, and despite this huge advantage,
I still managed to lose $200. When I went back to the same machine
later, it was no longer "skipping", but still inhaling my money.

I played a BP machine at Palace Station several years ago that always
spilled more coins than I had credits. If I had 100 credits it might
spill 110 coins. Another possible malfunction, which I've never see,
would be a TITO where the ticket amount was larger than it should
be. Yesterday I began play at the Rampart and the previous player
left their $20 TITO in the machine ... not a malfunction, but it does
happen (I've done it several times myself)!
