• I recently was at a gaming center and placed a maximum bet on a $1 machine and it rang up a double bar across the second pay line blank on the first payline and 7's on the third payline nothing for the fourth and fifth but when the machine rang up the total of my winnings it left out the third payline. Question is can this be setup to exclude a jackpot from totaling when paying out the winnings?

• Hello,
  
  Back in the late 70's, my wife and played a fully mechanical black jack / 21 machine at the Imperial Palace casino on our honeymoon. The playing cards were the flip type like the old clock radios & it would play the same as a black jack table. It was either a $0.25 or $1.00 machine... I think it was a $1.00 machine.
  
  I was wondering if anyone would remember who made the machine any any other information. I would like to get one of these machines for our upcoming anniversary but I don't have enough information to start looking.
  
  Any help or potential sources of information would be appreciated.

• I'm developing a new card reader cleaning card, designed be a slot tech. This card will restore function to readers that other cards fail to fix. The problem is, you can't build much of a business around one product. I would like to create a business that provides the parts, materials, technology that the slot machine technician wishes he had to fix the most common problems. If you could buy the thing or things that that would most help you in your job, what would it/they be?

• I have an old Bally's three coin nickel slot machine that the handle is not moving. I had to drill the lock to unlock it. The coins register, the payouts work fine, but the handle does not work when the door is closed. When you press and move a lever forward inside the handle moves, but for the life of me I can not figure out why it is not working when I close the machine. What can I check?
  
  Thanks,
  Mike

• The new community gaming slots "Monopoly Big Deal" has a random bonus game feature where everyone who is playing and eligible for the bonus round earns the bonus round payoff. My question is what is the trigger element programmed in the game. Is it the number of players playing, total dollars waged, time since last bonus, or a combination of these? I have played the game and notice that I hit the bonus round more often when playing alone then when others are playing with me.

• Hi there, I have a IGT Double Bucks Video Slots machine in my garage, I think it is from the early 90s. I can't seem to get it out of 'reserved' or 'game closure'. I can insert coins and play but it doesn't count any credits. I can't seem to find anything in the service mode.
  Any ideas? Thanks heaps

• I have owned a Williams "Jack Pot Party" slot machine for 3 hours now, and it is already not working. The machine "tilted" and it keeps flashing "hopper", as if the problem lies with the coin hopper. I have shut it down, reset it, checked for coin jams, pulled the hopper out and put it back in 5 times, and just don't know what else to do. The machine is not using coins at the moment, only credits, and yes the "cash out" button has been disabled....

• Our casino slots in Canada stink.....when the casinos first opened, bonus machines paid close to 100.00 for .25 , after a few months,,when we were all hooked,,,,,the bonus comes after about 20.00 and is usually only 2.00...Is it adjustable. They are all run by the BC Lotteries commission and there is no competition...

• I am asking players to comment on this situation. My husband and I went to the casinowitha few friends. I asked my husbands friends wife to watch my machine while I got a drink of water. While I was gone she played my machine. I got back to the seat, she took 2 more turns and won 4200.00 and shared nothing with me and thought that was ok what she did, What are your thoughts?

• I have a 1994 sizzlin 7s nickel slot, why does the coin fall straight through rather than into the hopper. We can use the bills but no coins. I know theres this littel meatl box behind the door and we have the nickel in there so the machine will recognize it for a nickel slot but what else am I not doing right?

• I have just retired & love to play the dollar + machines. I'm looking for someone who would pay me so much per hour to play for them. I'm honest, trustworthy, reliable, and just want approx. $ 20.00 per hr. plus a small bonus on large hits. Will play a minimum of 8 hrs. per day. I live in Moreno Valley CA. close to all Indian Casinos. I would like to use my own players card. Ready to go to work for an investor immediately. E-mail me @ jmcs13@verizon.net, and take a chance. Won $ 47,000. last year on one certain type of dollar slot. If you got the money I've got the time. Thanks, Honest John.

• I have a Universal double fortune nickel machine that needs a coin hopper.(does not have bill
  acceptor)
  I bought it from work ,where they had it hooked to a computer for rewarding safe behavior.
  It lights up and sounds and I have the keys. I would like it working in my home. Is this worth fixing or cost prohibitive? (hopefully wiring is fine and hopper is all it needs)

• We use to play a diamond lotto machine at winstar casino in Oklahoma. They removed those machines a couple of years ago and I have never seen them anywhere else. Do you know if the diamond lotto games are available to play anywhere. To play, you pick 4 lotto cards...6 numbers each...then 6 numbers and or diamonds (wild) would come out.
