This was great, been thinking about getting a machine for awhile and had some time to do some research today. I have been in IT for 30 years so much more confident on investing in one of these. I miss the sound of the coins / tokens hitting that tray lol
Hey Marc, Just went through that on top Dollar Double tonight. Battery was dead. Had to reset and reboot. Good as new You have nice reel strips that aren't all faded, mine are bad
THANKS SO MUCH ...nice and clear explanation ..I have 2 IGT S 2000 --both 9 nine --Triple diamond and the triple double stars....got them both about 7 months ago
Great Video but I have a question for you. I get through most of the clearing process until I get to the “CALL ATTENDANT” portion. I open the door, switch the key 3 times. After this I get a MACHINE TYPE MISMATCH -DOOR M code. I have don’t this entire step at least 15 times and it wont go past this code. I haven’t ever received the 7 KEY CHIP CONFIGURATION code allowing me to proceed. Do you have any ideas for me ? Much appreciated
Is there a way to find and install one of those "players card panels" or whatever that control panel is called under the upper glass? Most slot machines just have a blank panel there and it just looks like something is missing, I would love to see one of those panels there lit up even if its non functional
Unfortunately, casinos usually yank out the player's tracking systems before getting rid of the machine. I've only had a few instances where they left it in there. I usually get black plastic sheeting on amazon and cut it to size to fill the gap.
What is the VARTA battery for? On one of my slots, it leaked and damaged the traces that ran under it. (POOR DESIGN) The tech that repaired the board, removed the VARTA battery and advised me to remove it on my other slot's board.
Hi, do you think you can do a video on how to build a newer electronic slot machine? I can buy the game board from ebay, but not sure what other components I need to put it all together.
I HAVE A 1994 WILD CHERRY MACHINE AND THE CREDIT AND WINNER LEDS ARE OUT AND THE MACHINE WONT SHOW INFO OR SPIN. EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW I CAN FIX THIS ISSUE?
The process of changing odds seems a bit too complex, but I guess they really want to prevent casinos and/or users from cheating. I'm used to Japanese Pachislo machines, which are as easy as putting it in service mode and pushing a button to change the odds. Then again, Japanese machines are technically not gambling machines, they're treated more like arcade machines because of gambling laws in Japan barring real money from being used. However, a loophole exists where separate locations will trade your tokens for cash or prizes.
I want to add the coin capability to my machine. How do I do that? Also my machine does ticket out but supposedly the guy I bought it from said it doesn’t accept Tickets. Is that right? If so how can I change it to accept tickets too? Thanks for the help.
Thank you for this amazing machine breakdown. I just started my career in gaming. I am a slot rep in Nevada and this video helped in more ways than just a diagnostic video. I'm looking into getting a game king munsters video machine but I want to learn how to replace the screen because the color is faded. If you could help please
Shouldn’t be too difficult. Spin inc is a great place for parts or eBay. I don’t have experience with that specific machines, but they are usually pretty straight forward.
Where did you get that ticket reading module? I bought some machines and I am interested in getting mine configured to read the tickets @Home Slots Fun
more of a question then comment. He showed us what the board does , when chip is and doing the clear mode. But what happens when you put the clear chip in and the board doesnt respond. It lights up, but nothing else anyone ? maybe?
Hey man quick question. I got a new board for my S2000 put my old chips from the old board that doesn’t work. Do I have to get the clear chip to set a denomination on the new board or does it just do it automatically? Reason is because my BV light isn’t on.. and I know it’s enabled on the settings.
@@jackalhdz The BV can be enabled/disabled without a clear process, but that might not be the issue. I really think you are going to need to do a clear and key process to be absolutely sure everything is setup correctly.
I sold it awhile back (I regret it!) - They are extremely hard to come by. They are expensive when they do show up, usually around $3k. If you want me to keep an eye out for you, email me: homeslotsfun@gmail.com
I have done what you show to do on the slot machine. my issue is that when it says RAM error and I turn the key then press the button, it still says " main battery low, closure M, call attendant", can you show a video no how to fix that issue? I have a double Diamond Deluxe, thank you
Hey Tracy - Unfortunately, this means you need to replace the battery on the board and soldering will most likely be required. Are you comfortable with doing this? I'll see about putting together a video.
Yes a slow video with good graphics and up close would be awesome. We are going to change the battery on our own. Thank you. If you could let me know when you have the video available that would be helpful
@@preciousrazor2000 What version of the S2000 do you have? You may be able to just buy a new button battery for it and yes, I can show you the procedure for that.
I got a chance to buy some, good, serviced, .25 cents slot machines, all serviced w/ stands, that use real quarters and bill acceptors all work, Double Diamond is one of them and 3 more, what is a good, fair price to pay on these?????? (Double Diamond, sizzling 7, White Ice, & Triple Double Stars), What are these machines worth??? Thanks!!!!
It really depends on the theme. The basic S2000's like the Double Diamond you mentioned, go for about $350 without the addons. Since it accepts coins and bills and comes with a stand, I think anything around $600 is reasonable.

@@coinrush5900 No, you don't need it - remove it. Do you know if you have an enhanced board? If so, you will need to remove the voltage regulator chip too. See: newlifegames.com/nlg/index.php?topic=21610.0
The constant noise you are hearing (clicking sound) is likely the meter counter. In the higher denom settings, it takes awhile to count up. :) Thanks for watching!
Fascinating look into the machines. (I’d love to see in depth teardowns of the electromechanical parts like the reels themselves; they seem to be surprisingly precision devices.) This video confirms my bewilderment at the appeal of slots; it’s a video game with no gameplay and annoying music.
Technically, you can put whatever sound SIMM in you want (as long as you have the multimedia daughter board), but that doesn't mean it will work. As far as I know, the 10x Pay doesn't have any enhanced sound SIMM. Here is the list: newlifegames.com/nlg/index.php?topic=1048.0
@@HomeSlots Diamond Deluxe. Been trying to get this thing to work for a month. It unfortunately sat in a damp basement for 10+ years and has some serious corrosion issues but I have made progress.

Hey Marc,
Just went through that on top Dollar Double tonight. Battery was dead. Had to reset and reboot. Good as new
You have nice reel strips that aren't all faded, mine are bad
I find the interior of slots machines so fascinating, ended up watching the whole thing
Do I need a blank chip to reset or change settings
Depends on the settings you want to change. Denom and payback percentage require the clear and key cheap like I did in this video.
Just the video I've been looking for. just got a machine and no nothing about it. Hope to get it up and running. Your video is a great starting point.
38:28 - DFuky was around 4 years ago?
Awesome Video! Thanks for showing us the guts, and telling us the truthful facts about a slot machine. :-)
Interesting. Although I was surprised that the payback of 95% was the same for all of the denoms.

Do you need the clear chip AND key chip- or just the key chip only- to change just the payback % (not denominations) in key chip config?

Great video! Not to nit pick, but shouldn't you be wearing some sort of ESD grounding strap or heel straps while handling those circuit boards?
I probably should LOL - I usually discharge though by just opening and closing the machine.
What kind of motors are used for the reels ? Step motors ?
