Title: H4xing Coke Vending Machines 2: Getting the Jackpot.
Post by: PHISH-PHREAK on March 14, 2007, 11:52:29 AM
Heres a video of how to get all the coins out of a vending machine. I'm not sure if it still works though because I haven't seen a Coke machine where you pull down on a lever to get your money back in a long time.

Seems like only a couple bucks fell into the coin slot.  Not a very big jackpot.  Wonder if you can do that over and over until it's empty.

You can only do it until the lift can't lift the bottles anymore or until it registers all the slots empty.

WTF are you talking about?

I bet this is fake. What probably is going on is that all those brands of soda were sold out on that machine so they put in a few bucks worth of coins into the machine, pushed the buttons for the sodas that were sold out, then pushed the coin return lever and got their money back.

Weird thing is that that is a Coca-Cola machine yet it has the options for Mountain Dew and Brisk Ice Tea. Those two are Pepsi brand sodas.

He's talking about the glass front machines that have the conveyor belt that goes up to get your pop, and it goes down the belt and into a hole about halfway up the machine wall to come out.  You can hold the door shut on this hole, and trick the machine into thinking that the row you picked was sold out, so it gives you the purchase price back from the change slot.  Then you put that money back in, buy another pop, and tah dah!  You just got 2 for 1.  The maximum the belt elevator can move is 3, and it does have a counter measure on it in the way of a metal bar, which normally makes the bottle come out with the top up, but when you do this trick, that metal bar can make the pop flip over and jam, and totally jam the belt.  That's when you lose, and you better run before someone sees you trying to fraud the machine!

You get so many points for that post.

Plus it just plain doesn't make any sense. As far as I know, the money is deposited into the hopper and past that point there's no way to drop it back down the slot once a sale is made. There are hacks to get a free pop out of some of them, but there's no way something like this wouldn't be listed on TOTSE and/or have a thousand YouTube videos of kids doing it if it were real.

Can't the machine give back change?  Like, you put in two $1 bills and you get 75 cents back in change?

There is an option on new coke machine called CPO which is coin payout mode it does this, so this may be real.

That's actually true, I didn't think of that.

I tried this when it was first posted... nothing happened.  The machine I tried it on was a coke .. but its return lever was different, so maybe it depends on the machine.

I did it on a Pepsi machine of the same model and change lever type, it doesn't work, you nitwits.  It was either sold out and they pumped it full of quarters to give the payout illusion, or they own that machine, and have it set to allow the debug codes to be punched in from the outside buttons, just like all of the "OMG HAX a coke machine" guides say to do.
