Another thing I've noticed is if you look at the blue screen it shows software V24.0 from 1985. Is this machine running a later version of software, and that's why I can't access the menu the way you can on yours? I do remember reading some where that you had to type in a code, or push certain deck button in a certain order to access or change settings?? A book, a book.. What I wouldn't do for a manual or two on these CEI machines..  :soapbox_3:
I did notice that when you push the deck buttons when the machine is in test mode that different deck buttons light up?

My version say 1988 1991 when it turns on. I did get a rebuilt mpu board a few years ago from member Dormi here on NLG.
Maybe he'll chime in? He's probably the only other one who would know this other than the still absent SolidSilver.

My DIP switch settings are
SW1
1-5 ON
6,7 OFF
8    ON

SW2
1,3 ON
The rest OFF

UPDATE: I did get a reply from Dormi  :applause:
"    Not all games had learn mode especially the early the games.  They all did have test mode, some like 7.9 percentages could be set from test mode by entering 1-2-5-4-3-4 on discard buttons.  It all depends on the game number displayed on test mode.  If we knew what game version number he has I might have documentation for it.  "

Thanks Mark... I'll check this all out tomorrow.

Mark, None of those code numbers seem to work on my game. My screen, when I'm in the test mode says :

Casino Electronics
Gaming Draw Poker
V24.0 SCH. 07-DT. 01/14/85

The stickers on my game proms say 24.0 also.. There must be a way to get into the menu settings? The dip switches on my MPU are, sw1 1-8 all on, sw2 1 on, 2-3 off, 4-8 on, sw3 1-8 all on.. Mines a 904 board 8200080 REV E..  All I want to know is if I can setup a double down option, and possiblie from a max of 10 coins back to 5..  :banghead:

Doyle. 

Thank you for the information.. I was hoping it had a double down option. Nice machine, just very basic.

Amechanic, my apologies for replying in reverse order, but I've been trying top catch up, and took the most recent questions first as being those
most likely to have a member waiting on tenterhooks for an answer.

As you have undoubtedly figured out, you have an early machine, one of the very first video poker machines with actual cash payout.
Cal Omega (and their Nevada gaming-qualification subsidiary CEI) did not really assign Model numbers. They started out with stand-up consoles "for amusement only",
added the "Casino Mini" housing like yours for Nevada payout gambling, and also made a very few (very rare) sit-down consoles with coin payout.

What determines the level of sophistication is the gameboard/motherboard combo, which determines the software (eprom game sets) that can be used, as well as some of the button wiring. Your 904 board put you at the early, and most common, gaming period. The 904 board is the original Amusement 903 board with an added piggyback memory board for game & payout history to satisfy Nevada gaming laws.

Your screen shows software installed as V. 24.0: this is the HOLD version of draw poker, less common than the V 23.9 Discard version.
It also shows (payout) Sched 070DT. The 07 is the most common schedule, paying 1,2,3,4,5,7,20,50,300, for a total of 94% payback to the player.
The DT codes specifies the max-coin payout for a Royal Flush, although available documentation is vague. D should mean a 2000 coin payout for straight poker, and T should mean 4700 coin payout if the DoubleUp option is in place. (Your software does not have the DoubleUp option, and your 10-button cabinet could not use it anyway)

The only useful things you can set on your dipswitches are:
A. Max credits the machine will accept before switching back to coin-payout mode.
B. Max coins that can be played; on the last coin, the machine will automatically deal. You want to set this to match the max coin payout point for a royal flush, usually 5 or 10. The best way to determine that point is to set it to maximum (80), then put in one coin at a time to see when the Royal Flush payout on the screen suddenly jumps.

Anyway, I hope this information, however late, is useful or at least interesting.
