Parlay, can you elaborate on that paper and quarter trick? PM me if you want.

Alright. This is how it's done. Take a piece of paper. Gum wrapper, notebook paper, receipt paper. It doesn't matter.

Here I'm using a receipt from my favorite Taco Bell


Fold it in half lengthwise a few times and wrap it around the edge of the quarter.

This is what you're going for.


Now insert the paper and quarter together into the front coin slot. It kind of cups the quarter in there real tight. Turn the handle 1 revolution around and you'll get a handful of candy or a toy. The quarter will stay wedged in there and be back in the top position. If the machine takes your quarter you need to thicken up the paper around it. Fold it once more or use thicker paper.

There's less of a chance of it taking your quarter if you spin it around faster. You'll get a feel for it after a few times.

We used to walk up to a gum ball machine with a small brown paper bag and empty all the gum balls into it in like 2 minutes.

It also works on the March of Dimes Peppermint Patty machines. Same concept except you use a dime instead of a quarter.
