Hi all, i am new to German gambling machines and like them so much i bought a Löwen rotamint Take 7 from 2009 last year.

Forgive me for not speaking German (which makes finding info on the subject a lot harder).
I already had its battery replaced by a great guy from this forum but i am curious about a couple of things;

As far as i know (but correct me if i am wrong), in Las Vegas every spin on a gambling machine is random. In Japan
(I've read) machines build up and payout in waves. How is that with German machines ? Do they take a lot of money in first
and then pay out like crazy ? Or random as well ? (I have thrown in hundreds of EUR already but no big price yet).

The machine has 2 jackpots (which you can win with 1 or 2 EUR bets). Are they random ? Or do they build up first to become more attractive ? What happens when the jackpot goes over 999 EUR which is the
max that fits on the LED display ?

Finally; i notice German machines in general don't have many extra play features (like nudge, mix n match, bonus spins etc). Just Jackpots and risiko/gambling of your win.

I don't mind at all but how come ? By the way strangely enough machines in my country also have less and less features compared to machines from the late 80's. but i think from what i saw on ebay German machines
usually never had them.

Cheers and great forum !

thanks a lot ! i will PM you

I am new in the world of German gambling machines and i like them so much that i bought a Lowen take 7 a year ago. I have a a question about the battery and was hoping someone
could answer it. Forgive me for not speaking German (which makes it harder to search for info on this subject).

As i understand it (please correct me if I'm wrong), these machines have a battery in them and if that battery runs empty the program for the machine is wiped/gone making the machine unusable.

I also think i understand from reading this forum that some people can replace that "hard to replace" battery. Since the machine is roughly from 2009 and expected battery

life is roughly 10 years, is it better to have it replaced now, before it runs out, or does that not matter much and can i just as well wait till it run out first and then have it replaced

(in other words, the costs would be the same ?). Thanks if anyone knows, cheers.
