I am curious if TPA keeps inventory of the remaining tokens inside the tray. One way to determine this is to manually take inventory of every token received for 200 or 400 token dispense events, without spending a single token, and count the exact numbers of each token received and compare that to the contents of an official restock. If properly emulated, the token count after 200 or 400 tokens should match the official set. This would be the equivalent of counting cards on a game of video poker.Additionally, the tray will become empty after either 200 or 400 dispenses barring a restock, and the game will fail to dispense tokens (because there will be none left) until you actually spend some of your hoard. Meaning if the operator put in exactly 200 or 400 tokens in, you should get the exact same 200 or 400 tokens out. Otherwise you are playing the lottery trying to win them all... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /></blockquote>
