Try setting you player play amount to $0.0000.
Set your Hopper amount to $1000.00.
I have Two 3 Reel Machine with Multi- denominational. One is set at, .50-1.00-5.00 & 20.00.. My other machines is set at .25-.50-1.00-10.00.
The machines are set at $.01
When cashing out, the hopper pays first, then the ticket prints. No mater what the amount is above your Split pay limit. I still use tickets from my 5- reel penny machine I sold. Mine was also Multi- denomination...I did not have a hopper in my 5-reel. They are always odd numbers at the end, 21.98, etc. They still cash out. Fifty dollars is a lot of Quarters. My limits are very small. I don't have to have a lot of coins in the hopper.
I hope this helps. I know it works for me.
Best of Luck
