Title: IGT PE+ Joker's Wild video poker - button issues and bill validator not working
Post by: Willson on December 04, 2016, 10:55:09 PM
Hello all. Just joined up after acquiring a slot machine from a friend of mine. I have no idea anything about it. It needs a little work and itll be good to go, so I decided to join and see what I can find out about it. It's an IGT but no idea what model, its jokers wild all I know.

Post a photo.  Joker's wild is probably going to be an IGT S+.

Oops, forgot the video poker version.  It's a Player's Edge Plus video poker machine.  They were the contemporary video platform to the S+.  They are nice machines, but parts are getting harder to come by.  If you want to keep it around, you should snap up a couple spare mpu boards.

Cool thanks for the info. Ill take a look at the site and see what I can find for what my problems are. Got any quick links I can view, having a problem with "Cash Out" "Bet One Credit" "Play 5 Credit" buttons (I think maybe a ground issue. Ive checked the buttons for continuity, tested good (They sometimes work). And the bill feeder will go through its operation when closing the door but won't do anything else after that, like its either dead or maybe not activated, although in system inputs it does say "Activated"

Hello Willson - Welcome to NLG!    :wave:

An easy way to start is to post a few photos of your machine, showing the complete front view and of the insides if there is an issue there you want to discuss. Also, there is usually an idplate located on the same side of the machine as the pull handle, it will help id the machine.

If the bill validator takes in the bill and then returns it that probably means it has old software (internally to the bill validator) and doesn't recognize the bills currently in use. Did you try a $1 bill? It should always work since it hasn't been changed, whereas the $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 have all had security enhancements that changed the design and appearance, this means older bill validator software won't work with them.

I think many of the player pushbuttons are wired in sequence, so if one is intermittent then the others downstream won't work. If you are satisfied that the pushbutton switches and their wiring are ok then check the wiring harness from the buttons over to the main cabinet, it has a connector where it runs from the door area over to the main cabinet, check connections at those connectors. The player buttons won't work until there is at least one credit on the machine, so you have to put a coin in and have it accepted.

Locate the white TEST button inside your machine, pressing it will get you into diagnostic mode, there is a diag screen where you can test each button thoroughly.
