$1/$5/$25/$100 Multi-denom setup help needed

[Yoeddy1]

So guys, I’m missing something...


I have a multi-denom decal for $1/5/25/100.  I usually setup my accounting as .01 and my coin as .25.  With this accounting setup, my machine with take any ticket with any dollar and cents amount.


If I set up this way, I can’t choose $100 in denom setup.  If I choose .25 as accounting and .25 as coin I can, but I can’t insert a ticket that has a random number of cents.  It has to be dollars only in the ticket amount, and/or a dollar amount with .25/.50/.75.


Any ideas how I can set this up?

I chose 5 cents as my accounting denom and I can select $1/$5/$25/$100 and set everything up correctly, but it’s the same problem.  I can feed in tickets all day as long as they are like the following:


$20.00
$24.75
$1364.15
Etc...as long the number can be divided by 5 cents.


Again, if I choose 1 cent as the accounting denom, I can’t select my Player 4 denom as $100.  The highest the system will allow us $25.


Are there chips or a setting somewhere that will override this?


Thanks,
Jason

No other setting that I'm aware of. In a real situation the accounting denom is typically set at the lowest player denom. Go with the 5c, acct denom & rid yourself of those tickets that end in.13, .67, etc. I know this is not what you want to hear but I believe it's the only solution. I hope your meters are bypassed.

Thanks for the response Ron.  The use case that I'm thinking of is the guy that has a ticket for $854.64 and decides that he wants to sit down and play a machine that has this multi-denom configuration ($1/$5/$25/$100).  Casinos will take any ticket that players want to throw in, and I can't imagine that a machine would reject the player's ticket because of an odd number of cents.  I wonder how they program that?  Is there perhaps something with the casino's network that would allow that?  Anything less than $1 would require a cashout by the player. 

I need to learn to just leave things alone.  :p

You know there is something about odd ticket amounts in the validation settings. I have a machine with a tito installed. I will check it out.

Go to 7.2.3.3 Change Voucher. Change it from disabled to enabled & see if that makes a difference. You will have to cashout & use your key chip to make the change. Just a hunch on my part. Not sure it will do what you want it to do.

You sir, are a genius!  So I seem to recall this behavior in some casinos. 


Here’s the experience:


I have a ticket for $1540.68. 
I insert the ticket.
The machine instantly refunds me a ticket for 3 cents.
The machine has $1540.65 worth of credit to play with.


The end result is perfect for me as I have other machines in my game room setup with 1 cent accounting and can accept all tickets with even/odd change.  It does waste a few tickets here and there, but it does work!


Thanks again Ron!!!

Jason, it has to do with the accounting denomination.  If you set an accounting denom of say $1.00, there's no way for the machine to record as a unit anything lower than $1, thus the ticket is rejected.  Unless you make the change option that Ron mentioned, which accepts the ticket with the right amount of units and pays out that portion which it cannot account for because it is a partial unit.  Dollar denominated slots usually have this behavior.  Less "ticks" for the meters.  That's why your penny accounting denom works for all tickets, there are no "partial" pennies.  You could setup a high denom machine with penny accounting, but your meters would go crazy every time it paid anything.  (of course you probably have your meters jumped anyway).
