Title: Sircoma 705 Jokers Wild Video Poker Machine Info/Help???
Post by: BrahmanBob on September 23, 2018, 11:09:20 PM

I've had this machine for about 20 years & recently decided to search for more info on it, but other than learning it's an early Sircoma variant, I haven't had much luck...if anyone would be able to share some knowledge about this machine, I'd appreciate it.


Thanks,
Bob

If this is in the wrong place, I'm sorry...seemed like the only sircoma area to pos :mail_2:

Welcome to NLG!  :wave: :waving_flag:

I think you posted in the right part of the forum but if not we can get it moved, don't worry about that. We have some folks here that are familiar with the older machines like yours. From what I understand Sircoma was the forerunner company to IGT and this was one of their machines they made.

Does your machine work ok? What questions do you have about it?

One way to learn a lot about it is to read thru the various discussions that have been posted in this forum:

The game that you have was my first Fortune Coin Company-SIRCOMA-IGT machine.  I am hooked now and I have 4 of them.  Do you have any questions?  I will try to help.  I sold mine about 5 years ago now.


BTW  welcome to the best group of coin-op lovers on earth!

First Fortune Coin, then Si Redd bought the company and it was re-named Sircoma and later re-named IGT.
I worked there, helped design the Fortune 1 board, now run a shop that has parts and a tester to keep the boards running.
There are plenty of Fortune 1 lovers on this forum that will be pleased to help you out, ask away, don't be shy, and welcome to NLG!

Now you have the big Gun in Badbaud standing by to help you.  EVERY Fortune 1 that I own started out by me sending him my motherboard for a complete once over.  Some of the best money that I have ever spent.




My advice is free and worth every penny
