Converted game?

[modessitt]

Customer brought in a Five Times Pay he bought off the internet a while back. The game has buttons and Reel Glass for a 9-Line 45-Credit game, but only plays up to 5 credits and only pays off on the center line.  I think the game has been converted to Five Times Pay and whoever did the conversion just changed the PROMs, glass, and reel strips.


Here's a pic of the chips:





The purple stripes on the SB chip don't match the blue stripes on the other chips, so I'm guessing it's not original to this board. Can't find the SB100389 in the S2000 Game List posted elsewhere here, so I can't verify which version it's supposed to be.  I know they make this game as a 9-Line with a 5-Reel setup, but is there a 3-Reel version? I don't see anything in the options that would make it change between how many lines it would pay off.


I'm guessing that if it HAS been converted and does NOT have the ability to be made a 9-Line with the current game, then his options are either:


A) Keep the game as a Five Times Pay single line and replace the control panel and reel glass if he cares about it looking like an original Five Times Pay.


B) Change the game PROMs to something compatible with the 3-Reel, 9-Line, 45-Credit control panel and reel glass, then change the Reel Strips, Top Glass, and Belly Glass to match that game. If I do a conversion, he'd prefer a Wild Cherry game, but I didn't see a 9-Line version of it on the list.


C) Leave it alone and play it as a single line and try to ignore all the extra buttons and stuff.


If anyone has any insight into this, I'd appreciate it - especially if you know what game the SB100389 references and if there is a 3-Reel 9-Line version of this game available.


Thanks...

Like you said, swap the player panel and door wiring harness if everything else is there. That would probably be the most cost effective if he can't get the seller to make it right

I couldn't find the 389 but 384 is a single line 2 credit. There is a 3 reel 5 line 75 credit 5x pay but it doesn't look like there is a 3 reel 9 line. you would need top glass reel strips and software to convert it to 5 line as long as everything else is there and working.

Post some pictures of the glass.
I have a 3 reel 5 line 75 Credit machine and it uses the button deck you  have.
I can check the SB when I get home from work.

Can you post pics of the glass (all 3 pcs) & button deck? I'm sure we can figure something out. I'm not aware of any 3R, 9L Five Times Pay game. I'm leaning toward the 5 line 75 credit game as previously mentioned. I'm thinking it has the wrong reel glass & SB chip. The button inserts can be changed. The below info is from Joey's master eprom list. Looks like a 3R, 1L, 5C SB chip.
