FairPlay - HOW TO USE THE EMULATOR TO REVEAL CHEATING
You don't have to take our word for it, though. You can try it out for yourself on your own PC. You'll need the following files:
The PC emulator - Download
When you unzip the above files into a folder, you'll notice a file called "EASTENDERS.RAM". This is the machine's "saved memory state". Every time you quit the emulation, the machine saves its memory to this file. If you copy the RAM file out of the folder to a different folder anywhere on your PC, you can copy it back in at any time to restore the machine to that state. (You'll overwrite the existing RAM file.) So by saving the RAM file before an event (you can only save at the start of a "credit", not in the middle of a gamble), playing out the event, then loading the RAM file back in and playing the event out the other way, you can see that no matter what you do, the machine will generate the result it wants.
Alternatively, you can use a program called VMWare to run the fruit machine emulator in a virtual environment, which allows you to save a "snapshot" of the machine at any time - including in the middle of a gamble - and reload it back in at will. See the program's own documentation to see how to do this, but it's very easy.
So now we've established beyond any doubt (se evidence) that the fruit machine is cheating. What can we do about it?
