I have a LOT of older poker machines including a Bally Video TwentyOne which rejects the 11th coin (It's set for ten coins max). Even in credit mode, it "rejects" by making a goofy noise and not accepting that 11th credit. I've never seen any casino machine that just keeps taking money and not crediting it, or sending the excess back to the coin tray.
I just went through a major move and my machines are still just thrown in a room. If I can get to it my Bally soon, I'll post what you should see behind your coin mech.  :yes:

Well.... some casinos were cheating. They would put a screw on the coin mech area where an additional coin, if dropped in, would fall into the hopper and they would put a pass over piece on the reel mech so a 7 would not lock in. Been there seen it.

true, they were used in mechanical slots that were in "unofficial" casinos.  My brother restored a few Mills machines with them, i think he called them bugs and it would block the reel stop and make it jump to an adjacent reel stop.
