Thanks for all the pics.  You do have a horse of a different color!  No hopper, takes coins, no bet deck buttons, printer in belly and not tito type tickets.
I wonder if hopper plug is used or is printer hard wired or plugged into backpane or what?  Thinking you will have some fun ahead of you.

You should keep. Is a rare one indeed. I think that some of the games may be class II, perhaps all? Does it play now?  If so, can you print ticket after win?  Looking at entire mpu board, there are wires and wires connected to eprom legs, and other places. Must have to do with software, printer, coin handling, etc. I do not think a clear chip will do anything. If you get key and can access service menu(door must be open), you will need to access some info and write it down before you use clear chip.

No I can't play any games right now stuck on the one screen what do you mean by class II game? Sorry new to this all been researching for a while now hopefully with some new games, reset key and clear chip something might work oh ya and a new MPU board... Which brings me to a different topic the one I purchased doesn't match exactly with what's in there now I will attach a copy of what I ordered hopefully it's compatible

Some places in the US do not allow gambling in any form. Other places called Class II allow it but it isn't the full-on (Class III) kind that Vegas has, the Class II places have playing limitations, and some types of games are not allowed. The Class II machines may look like a normal slot machine but they actually contain software that mimics a pull-tab game, a bingo game or other type of game that has a finite and predetermined set of outcomes. Often these Class II machines are in Native American (Indian) casinos. There is also a category called Class I, it is for fairly primitive games, mostly used for ceremonial events, no real exciting gaming that would bring in the tourists. 

Use google to lookup "Class II gaming", there's a lot of interesting stuff about it and its limitations. The bottom-line is that it isn't the same wide-open experience as Las Vegas style gaming, but you can win some money at Class II establishments and many feel it is better than having no nearby casino at all.

I know it shows topic solved............................but................  I still think we should try to correct current problem.  If you look at your screen or pics it shows a small slot machine under the "Keno" game tab.  It shows a little red box, which is your bill collection door or collector box.  It thinks the door is open or the "cash can" isn't seated properly. I would check both.  There may be a switch on the lock cam and it sets or trips when lock is closed. I can see a sensor on door of cash can.  If we can clear this issue, game should work as set up now.

I guess a little more info.  Does the cash can door close and "lock"/knob that turns to keep door shut? To remove bill collection unit, use a credit card at each end, insert between bill collection unit and housing that holds it and with a little wiggle, bill collection unit will/should slide out. Would be nice if it is full of $100 bills, ha! They do make an extraction unit to easily remove the bill collection unit   and I am sure one of the vendors here can help with that if you didn't get with machine.

Thanks for the solid team effort Richard! I ended up drilling out that lock(hit it once with my centre punch and it exploded) open but does sit tight I could alway remove the mag and hold it tight against the other end as well... No $100s unfortunately... What is the dip switch for that's on one of my photos, it's just hanging there and well nothing will ever change that's state unless I switch it manually

So I took the magnet off the door and placed it on switch but the symbol is still on, the bill receiver is sitting good got it out found the switch it's pushing that in ok... Should I try taking this apart and getting my meter on just to varify it's changing state? I also am going to add even more pics I see a pit of empty spots on a board in behind and don't know if that's right/wrong or if maybe it's just upgrades and swaps, thanks as always and I will get this!!

I'm trying to troubleshoot my attendant switch. I think if I can get that working I will be in a good spot... If someone has a Game Maker i would love to hear your outputs so I have 3 wires going to my switch (2 under one both brown with a blue strip) that was reading 0v either ac or dc ( I don't know what the voltage source would be from ac or dc) and the other wire is blue with a red strip that read like 5v ac and 2milv dc just wondering if this is a normal output or where the other ends go or even if that would be an issue.

Kool,

You will always be in demo mode based on your chips.  I see in your pic gm3 on first page a label that reads "pseudo coin", but can't see if there's a button.  Have you tried?  Did pic of small slot machine disappear from screen? See your a Gamemaker Demo Slot Tech.

Just running through testing now I have lots of errors coming up EPROM test shows error on personality 3,4,7,8,9,10 just wondering are these my "demo games" and now that I can access the configuration screen any advice where to go next, sorry Richard i don't think I said it right but mine sounds the same as yours I think it was because the harness wasn't seated on the board tight
