Replace your Slot Machine Glass pieces with the new
ones that were sent to you in the kit. Some game kits only require 2 pieces
of glass and others use all 3
- Start with the top piece of glass
and remove it by opening the machines main door and carefully lifting
the old glass holder up and out of the cabinet frame. Install the
new upper glass.
- If your new kit included the
(Reel) glass remove the old piece but 1st removing the
florescent lamp bulb and then removing the florescent fixture screws
and finally the fixture itself. Once the fixture is removed you should
be able to grab the old reel glass on both sides and carefully wiggle
it out of the lower holder and replace it with the new piece of glass.
(Be sure that all of your stickers are attached to the new glass before
installing the light and fixture.
- The belly or lower glass is replaced by locating
the glass door release knob which is located on the main machine door.
Simply pull the knob straight out and flip the frame of the lower
glass assembly down. Remove the small screws (up to 4 of them) from
the light/glass holder and carefully slide the old glass out of the
machine. When installing the new lower glass be sure that it is right
side up when the assembly is closed before tightening the screws that
hold it in place.

Change Your
Reel Strips |
| Your new slot kit includes 3 reel
replacement reel strips.They are to be installed in your reel baskets
in the correct numerical order for your particular game |
|
|

The Reels will be numbered in the order
that they are installed in the reels from left to right
|

The Reels will have numbers on them and should be in order from
left to Right. (They may or may not look like the above example) |
| Lay out the new strips on
a flat surface and take a comparison look at the strips different symbols.
– If they are all the same and all the symbols line up with each
other then you do not need to be concerned with which strip goes to which
reel. If however, any strips are different from each other than you will
need to install them in a particular order depending on the game.
|

Your new reel strips have small notches cut in them at the bottom. There
is also a matching notch on each reel basket. The notches on both the reel
strips and the reel baskets must
be installed so that their notches are aligned to together in the correct
positions in their reel baskets. - In addition most (Not all) strips will
be numbered either at the very bottom or on the back top side of the strip.
Generally the lowest number strip will be installed in the left reel , usually
marked as #1 and the next higher # strip will go to the middle reel and
the last one installed at the most right side reel. – There is
an exception to this rule that being if your reel strip set has different
symbols, you will install the odd number strip in the middle or right side
depending on your game.
The easiest way to locate the notches in the reel
baskets is to place a reel strip into the left side groove of the basket
that it is to be installed into and hold the strip at a 45 degree angle
to the basket with one hand and use the other hand to rotate the basket
slowly until you feel it catch on the notch. Then, proceed to roll the strip
around the back side of the basket and as you do tuck both sides into the
grooves of the basket until you come back around to where you started.
At this time you want to make sure that the end of the reel strip overlaps the other
end of the strip and that they are seated together with the self adhesive
sticky surface on the inside of the strip. (You may have to use clear scotch
tape to secure the strip to itself. If you did this correctly, you will
not be able to see the notches in the strips after you are finished and
the reel should spin straight and true. numbers on the bottoms or back sides of the strips so that
they are installed in the correct reel. |

| Remove The
Processor Board - Change Your Eprom Chips |

NOTE: - MOST GAME CHANGES
ONLY REQUIRE THE "REEL" EPROM TO BE CHANGED. DO NOT REMOVE/CHANGE
YOUR "GAME" EPROM, UNLESS YOUR NEW GAME SPECIFICALLY REQUIRES
IT TO BE CHANGED.
(If you do change the "Game"
Eprom chip you will loose the operational function of your Bill Validator
and it will require a special Set Chip to re-activate it)
-
Because of this, most Game Kits will not include the Game Eprom.
|
|
Gain access to the system
board by 1st removing the coin tray, then the hopper. |

Locate the black round handle that looks kind of like a closet or cabinet
door knob. Grab a hold of it and lift straight up to remove the main system
board from the lower board (Use caution and Do not use too much force
to avoid damaging the lower board) Place the board in a lighted area so
you can locate your Eprom game and reel chips. (The 2 chips are clearly
labelled on the board) - Take Notice that there is a notch in each chip
at one end and pay close attention to which direction that notch is in
relation to the direction the board. (See photo below) - The new chip(s)
must be installed in the same direction! |
| Locate the chip clearly marked
as the "REEL PROM" on the main board and using a small
flat blade screwdriver, gently pry up one side of the chip
by carefully inserting the blade end of your screwdriver between
the chip and its holding socket. - You will start at one end and
then go to the other end and gently pry up on that side, then return
to the side you started on until the chip is dislodged evenly from
its holding socket. Try to pull it out as evenly and straight as
you can so you don't damage or bend any of the chips 28 pin legs.
If you do you can straighten them out again but just try to be as
careful as you can. |
|
| Install the
new "REEL" chip included with your game kit in the same
direction as the old one that you just removed. This means the notch
in the chip must install in the same direction. Use caution when installing
the chip so that you do not fold over any of the chips pins .Go slowly
and re-check all the legs as you go and again afterwards. If one or
more of the legs do get bent, you must straighten it before proceeding.
Next, push down on the top of the chip firmly until the chip is seated
all the way in its holding socket.
|
| If you were
instructed to also change the "GAME"
chip with your new kit now is the time to do that following the same
guidelines as above. You are now ready to install the system board
and bring up the machine to set the games options. |
|
Reinstall
The Main System Board
| Make sure
you reinstall the main board the same as it was removed.
The board must align on both sides of the board holder.
It also must be completely seated down against the
lower board.
(See Picture Below) Use
care to be sure both sides are square during this
procedure and Don't
use exccessive force when seating
it down against the bottom board or
you risk damaging the pins that are
located on the bottom, |
| Initializing
The New Software |
| After
installing the main system board. Install the hopper
and turn the power switch on. The machine shiould
come to life and you should see a "61"
displayed in the winner paid window. - You may see
a 65, 66 or 67 in the window instead. See the below
illustrations and pictures to see what you need
to do for each code displayed: |
|
| |
|
|
|
| If you see a
"65, 66, or 67"code after making a chip change -
Power off the machine, then back on. You
should then see a 61 displayed in the winner paid window. |
When
you get a 61 press and hold the test button until you hear
a "Ding" |
Once you get
a 61 1 close door completely and turn the rest key one time
|
| Note:
- A Common problem that occurs
after a game chg is that you will
see a 61- 1 code after you
hold the test button in and hear
the "Ding" but you close
the door and turn the reset key
and nothing happens. This is usually
caused by an open door to the
cash storage container or a misaligned
Bill validator. - Check all your
doors to be certain they are completely
closed before closing the main
machine door. Click
