25¢ Mills Black Beauty Payout Issue for 14 & 18 coins

Hi everyone,
Happy Thanksgiving :-)

I have noticed my 25¢ Mills Black Beauty is paying out one coin less than expected for
14 and 18 coin payouts. I don't have a clue where to look to resolve this issue.

Does anyone here have any suggestions?

Thank you for your time and support.

Warmly,
Amy

Amy, this is common for pretty much any machine on the higher payouts. If you use older coins from the era of the machine you shouldn't have this issue. Here is a picture of post 1970 nickels, vintage nickels and Indian head nickels. The same will hold true for dimes, quarters and half dollars.

Wow, great information.

For the first time I hit 3 Bells and should be getting 16 dimes. I got 15.
If I have not seen this post, I would be in the machine tinkering. Possibly messing it up.

Thank you, OceanWolf, for letting me know this post was helpful.
My son has legitimately hit the 3 bells multiple times and the
jackpot won't dump. Would you be open to having a conversation with
me, if your jackpot works? We could exchange info via DM. Please let
me know your thoughts.

Sincerely,
Amy
