TSCYoda Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 Hello Eric/Keith! I thought i was alone with this problem, but two other guild-members are complaining about the same issue: When i play in the casino at Nar Shaddaa, most of the slot-machines (right and left line) doesn't function. I can only play on a handful machines, which are also used by the other players. This not only happens on Tulak Hord, also the british server is affected to me. Greetings Markus
Dekibra Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 Indeed the machines seem broken - only about 7 out of 48 (!!!) smuggler‘s slot machines react when clicked It seems to be more prominent on Imp side though... maybe the raging sith, mercs and agents smashed the machines to bits?! Server: Darth Malgus
TSCYoda Posted May 26, 2018 Author Posted May 26, 2018 Till yesterday i thought i was alone with this "feature" It's a bit confusing...my son has the same problems, he switched to instance 3, there he was alone and could use all of the slot machines Is it possible that there is a context between active users in a instance and this problem developing? Greetings Markus
Neulwen Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 The machines have a chance to get broken/inactive on use. The more players, and the longer an instance stays open, the more machines will be broken.
Mournblood Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 The machines have a chance to get broken/inactive on use. The more players, and the longer an instance stays open, the more machines will be broken. There is an achievement for breaking a slot machine (it actually blows up on you). When this happens, it puts that machine "out of order" for several minutes. As was stated above, the more players who are at the event, the more likely this will happen, and the more slot machines that will be temporarily "out of order".

As was stated above, the more players who are at the event, the more likely this will happen, and the more slot machines that will be temporarily "out of order". This is not the problem as when this happens the machine blows up and is visually broken for a while. The OP is referring to the problem (BUG) where when you activate a machine is spins and gives normal messages such as "double tokens" or "feeling lucky" but does not use a token or do anything other than spin. When activated properly, the machine's animation spins then slows before it gives you an outcome - the broken ones are doing nothing but spinning round. The hidden achievement you mention to blow one up is a rare occurrence so should not be an issue or cause or so many machines not working. Most of the machines Imperial side seem to be affected. Fortunately I got all the items I wanted during the last casino event so gave up this time due to the casino machine bug.

If it's an actual bug, as it sounds like, it would probably be best if the OP reposted this in the Bug forums, or asked to have this thread moved there.

Someone already posted a bug report on it here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=949688 Probably best if they combine this thread with that one or everyone post in the bug report thread.
PrincessMary Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 I was having this problem and when I read this thread I decided to switch to a PvP instance and move around to find a functional machine. I finally found one--and after a few minutes of play, I got the machine "blow up" effect. I had to find another functional machine to continue playing.

Puremess Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 I tried switching to an other instance, did not help at all (tried all 3). Still a lot of slot machines are bugged. Only 10 or so are working for me on each instance and are usually taken. Just a few days ago almost all machines worked.
TSCYoda Posted May 27, 2018 Author Posted May 27, 2018 When you "break" a slot-machine (achievement), it gets unusable for some seconds and then "respans" as working slot-machine. That is not the case with the lots of unusable slot-machines, it's quite different. Greeting Markus
Batwer Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 I thought I'm too stupid to click. I noticed it only because my chips were not less. I always use two machines to make it faster. This is no longer possible, because no two work side by side. Please fix that. Thanks.
Tahana Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 One of my guildies complained about this last night.. I hadn't been to the slots this weekend as I've been concentrating on maximizing the 2x stuff. Anywhoo ran up there today and sure as what he said most of the machines weren't working. I found it funny however that machines I couldn't get to work, others could. The guildie that was having the problem couldn't get any of the machines I couldn't to work.. I did however find him a pair of machines that he could get to work.. Bioware you need to fix this stuff.. The amount of bugs in this game is insane.
Dekibra Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 at least I found a "workaround" now: there are some slot machines on the outer promenade (little casino across the taxi stand) they almost all work but please seriously BW - fix this! only 6-7 working smuggler's luck slot machines (out of 48 !!) just doesn't cut it
Decidion Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Yeah same problem for me, I've only found 1 or 2 machines that actually work anymore. What is it with BioWare breaking more stuff than they fix in the last few months worth of patches??
Dbohrius Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Yep, just checked the machines now on Satele Shan both on Pub and Imp characters. The event is almost unplayable as it is.
DefenderTwo Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 I thought I was lagging at first. but yeah, some of the slot machines, always the smuggler ones and it always appears to be the ones in the middle are unresponsive.
devilkat Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Had the same issue last night, and so did the buddy I was running with. I just ran around and clicked until I found one that would work. Star Forge server
Confusi Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Monday May 26th still broken tried two full sets of machines, on 2 different toons, one Republic and one Imperial. No luck for the last three days. Guess the event is over. P.S. So ran around the casino a few times only 1 Kingpin's Bounty Slot was showing green on pulls and no normal slot appeared to be working in the entire casino. Edited May 29, 2018 by Confusi
Nightblazer Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 It's crazy, normally there are a ton of people in the area playing but because they are all broken but maybe 1 that someone is on the event is no good. Then even if they do fix it, it won't be extended unfortunately because it's hard coded for specific date range. oh well fun the first day while I could play.
