If you have a slot machine or you have bought one old used vintage slot machine and want to have some fixes to get it work then obviously you will think you need a machine technician. Many of you will even think of taking it to some repair station to get things done. But here in the guide you will find some of the repairs that you yourself can do with your slot machine and you need not need to join machine technical repair training school.
Like any other machines Slot machines too are a blend of electronic and mechanical components, that wear with age and require routine repairs. Before you begin to repair yourself do note that every slot machine that you have purchased whether old or new comes with installation and user guide manual. You need to read that many a times until you are familiar with each components and parts of the slot machine and understand thoroughly as how the slot machine works.
In your guide to repair slot machines you will find some common repairs that can be carried out by you, some videos to watch as well. If your slot machine has some complex issue then obviously you require a qualified technician.
The top florescent light bulb is easily changed by following these simple procedures. The replacement bulb is an F15T8/CW 18″ 15 Watt bulb which is available at most hardware and department stores or may be purchased online at Ebay or Amazon or realslotmachinesforsale under the category ‘parts of slot machine’.
The belly glass florescent light bulb is easily changed by following these simple procedures. The replacement bulb is an F15T8/CW 18″ 15 Watt bulb which is available at most hardware and department stores or may be bought online as spare parts of slot machine.
All of the slot machine’s push button lights such Play Max Credits, Spin Reels, Bet One Credit, etc. are easily replaced by following this simple procedure. The replacement bulbs are #161 on IGT S2000 machines and #555 on IGT S+ machines and may be purchased from online stores.
The small panel lights that illuminate the denomination amount and other areas behind the glass are easily changed. For denomination amount lights on the IGT S2000, a #73 bulb is needed and a #86 bulb is needed on the IGT S+ slot machines. They may be bought online from slot machine selling sites.
Here it is described as how to change the lights behind denomination amounts such as .25 Cents. Other small panel light bulbs are changed in the same manner.
This is common thing and all you need is usually nothing more than a damp cloth to clean the exterior cabinet of your slot machine. Never use any abrasive or ammonia based cleaners on the cabinet of the machine.
The slot machine top, center and belly glasses may all be cleaned on the outside by using a window cleaner. However if you own a slot machine with a frosted exterior glass or one that has any exterior decorated markings such as stars, a window cleaner should not be used as the cleaner may damage the exterior images. Care should be taken cleaning interior glass as a cleaner and cloth may damage labels or markings.
The inside of the slot machine should not require cleaning other than occasionally removing dust. This can normally be done with a damp clean cloth, however ensure the power switch has been turned off prior to cleaning.
When wiping dust inside your machine, be careful not to loosen any wires or connections. Do not use a damp cloth on the face of your reel strips as the playing symbols on the reel strips could come off or become torn. Also be very careful not to touch the back side of your reel strips with a damp cloth especially if the back sides of the reel strips are black. This can cause damage to this type reel strip.
When you get a slot machine and wish to locate or set up at your place, determine the household 120V AC outlet you are planning to use has power. Keep in mind some outlets are controlled on and off by a wall switch.
When your slot machine just hit a 25,000 credit Jackpot it now needs to be reset to continue playing. Depending on the model slot machine you have and the amount of the payout will determine the best course of action.
If you have an IGT S+ Slot Machine and your win is under the maximum payout amount specified on the center glass of the machine, the hopper may run out of coins or tokens. This is normally displayed by Error Code 3300. In this case it usually a simple matter of taking the coins or tokens that have been paid out and putting them back in the hopper allowing it to fully pay out. However, if you won a large jackpot that is “hand pay out”, then follow the steps below.
Simply put Error Code 3300 is normally telling you your hopper is low on or completely out of coins or tokens.
Open the main slot machine door. Look into the hopper. If it is empty or has just a few coins or tokens, place about 500 coins or tokens back into the hopper. Close the main slot machine door. In a few moments you should hear the sound of the hopper’s motor turning and soon the remaining coin payout will begin.
Error Code 3100 (Extra Coin Out Tilt) normally signifies either a jammed/stuck coin or token in the coin-out chute on the hopper, or the hopper coin-out sensor has detected the hopper may have paid out an extra coin.
The 3.6 volt battery on the slot machine CPU Board normally lasts for years. However when an Error Code 12 is displayed, this is an indication the battery voltage has dropped below 2.9 volts and is now a low battery.
It is recommended to replace the battery as soon as possible. They can be purchased online from ebay, amazon or realslotmachinesforsale. When ordering a replacement battery, they will provide you with detailed instructions on how to change this battery which is located on the slot machine’s CPU Board.
In order to reset Error Code 12 temporarily, simply open and close the main slot machine door. It is important not to wait for a long time to replace the battery as data stored on the RAM may be lost. Replace the battery Asap.
Following are some of the other error codes that might interest you to solve your problem in repairing the slot machine

99-5 | Bill Validator | Hardware error |
99-6 | Bill Validator | Reverse bill detected |
Slot machines that accept coins were designed this way because when used constantly on the casino floor, hoppers could quickly fill. There is a coin level probe on side of the hopper that looks like a brass screw sticking inward toward the hopper bowl. This probe detects when coins/tokens are at a selected level, and will cause the subsequent coins/tokens played to go down a chute to the bottom of the slot machine.
Provided your slot machine sets on a regular casino slot machine stand with holes in the top and the holes are aligned with the slot machine, those coins which bypassed the hopper will go down the chute, through the hole in the bottom of the machine, through the hole in the top of the stand, and into the open area in the stand cabinet. As casinos have done for years, place a small plastic tub in the slot machine stand cabinet to collect these excess coins.
Though not all slot machines are equipped to accept currency in order to comply with certain laws but if your slot machine is equipped with a bill acceptor, bill transport and cash box, the bills in the cash box can easily be retrieved.

Author: Jeremy [ Edit | View ] | Date Posted:10:21:47 09/28/10 Tue The machine should be giving a tilt code which will help narrow down the problem, do you see a tilt code number on the LED display. What the history of the machine is such as was it working and just quit was it working and then moved and stopped working and so on. There are many things it could be but the tilt code is where to start. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Author: Jeremy [ Edit | View ] | Date Posted:07:31:42 10/02/10 Sat A “12” tilt is a low battery and it will have to be replaced. The battery is soldered on the MPU but is easy to unsolder and replace. After replacing hold the white self test button down for three seconds then close the door and turn the reset-key. Be careful when sliding the MPU in and out not to bend any pins. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Author: Jeremy [ Edit | View ] | Date Posted:02:04:56 12/21/10 Tue I have never replaced a battery and still had a 12 tilt so it must be a bad battery or a bad solder connection. These would be the most likely although the MPU may be bad. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Author: Jeremy [ Edit | View ] | Date Posted:13:15:28 10/06/10 Wed You fixed the low battery that’s good but the game will need at least a coin comparator to play. The machine will not need a bill validator to work. A 21 tilt is a coin-in-optic error, ether it is missing, dirty and need the dust blown out or the optics are bad. Sometimes it can be the wiring or the MPU but bad or dirty coin-in-optics is the most common problem for a 21 tilt. There is such a thing as tournament mode but this requires the tournament EPROM chips and possible set and clear chips if data gets corrupt. The best bet would be to repair the coin-in-assembly.

Author: dave [ Edit | View ] | Date Posted:16:38:20 10/06/10 Wed what model coin comparitor should I use?? I have a igt s plus double diamond upright machine. Its 25cent/token and accepts/plays up to 3coin/token. will a cc16 work? the manual says to use either a cc10 or cc20 but im having difficulty finding those models and/or at a decent price...

Author: Jeremy [ Edit | View ] | Date Posted:16:55:21 10/06/10 Wed Here is a link to Happs which shows the models of comparators for each manufacture http://www.happcontrols.com/gaming/coin_comp/coin_guide.htm . Basically the CC-16 is for lower denominations such as 5 and 25 cents. The higher the number CC-20 CC-30 the higher the denom. The other thing to watch out for is inhibit or non-inhibit since it has been awhile I can’t remember of the top of my head which one your machine used (I think it was inhibit). Just make sure it is machine specific a Sigma CC-16 will not work with an IGT CC-16 comparator. By the way I would try EBay as Happs prices are very high sometimes. One thing to mention is that a 21 tilt is not from a comparator but from a coin-in-optic problem which is below where the comparator sits. Also the coin comparator and where the coins are inserted outside the machine will be setup for a certain denomination which has to match the comparator 5-25 cents 50 cents token and so on. By the way a bad comparator will not give a machine tilt it just won’t take money. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Author: dave [ Edit | View ] | Date Posted:01:42:31 10/07/10 Thu yeah there is a solid flat plate where the coin/token are inserted and everything else has been removed. so i need everything, from where the coin goes in, all the way down to a hopper. I have a manual showing the parts so I will do my best to try and get this thing to work. but thank you very much for your time and im sure ill be asking you more questions in the near future! thanks again [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Author: Jeremy [ Edit | View ] | Date Posted:10:19:27 10/29/10 Fri I have never heard of a 47 tilt on an S-plus game so I think that the 47 is left over credits before the jackpot. I would start with the easiest things and be sure they are working such as the buttons and is the door shut completely. The game may need a clear chip to clear out old data although I have not seen that just because of a jackpot. Most likely it is something simple. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Author: Lucia (Frustrated) [ Edit | View ] | Date Posted:20:10:16 02/22/17 Wed I have a 1994 Double Diamonds slot machine. The paper money acceptor won't work. I got a bill stuck in it and had to take the bill acceptor out to get the money out and when I put it back, the light won't light up and it won't accept money. Is there a hand credit button inside that I can use instead of keep putting in money to get credits. The coin acceptor already doesn't work so if the bill acceptor doesn't work, the machine is worthless. Help. Thanks. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
