Good morning, new member as of this week. Bought my first machine (wms BB2E with BB3 processor). Have found several very helpful articles already! Appreciate all of the assistance. From Illinois.

You would be correct.

Hello everyone. I joined the site/forum last week and wanted to introduce myself.

I am in the Atlanta Georgia area and received my first slot, a Game King Poker machine, a few weeks ago. Some of my friends asked me why and I said why not.. I always wanted one. I picked this one because of the number of poker games plus blackjack, keno and some slot games, Wolf Run is one of my favorite slot games. A friend of mine found this site and told me about it. I have been enjoying the machine and going through the forum and learning about slot ownership and already thinking I may need another one at some point. I still have to build a base for it and got some ideas from the forum. I will also look to install a TITO option.
I also have a couple of video game systems, one being homemade and another one a bartop system. A pinball addition is somewhere in my future as well.

From going through the forum, I think I have the Super Poker Set...I think. The Game kit version seen in Program Version Accounting is GK003319 and Boot Prom version GKBDEV39

Thanks for the forum and valuable information

So...

Here I am. I just snagged a pair of IGT slot machines when I wasn't even looking to acquire them, but the opportunity was far too good to pass up. Long ago (25+ years) I got a Bally 1090 that I still have, so now it has some company! The new IGTs allegedly did work, but haven't in a while. (Stop me if that sounds painfully familiar.) And I found this website while looking for some troubleshooting help. I've already contributed $10 and downloaded a bunch of files, so hopefully there will be some useful info there.

I realize that "Welcome Wagon" isn't a troubleshooting forum, so I'll just mention a few basic facts: The machines are - from what I've been able to identify so far - "S-2000" models. No video screens. One manufactured in 2003, the other in 2004.

Thanks to the people that built this website, and put up this useful forum (even if my son did walk by, look at the screen, and ask me if I fell into an Internet time warp back to the 1990s!)

Welcome Scott

You've come to the right place. Just post in the s2000 section for each machine separately and the guys will jump in. When you post pictures, make sure they're a maximum of 1mb or they'll get rejected.

Greetings -
I have found this to be an incredible reference as I tinker with my IGT S+, so I thought it would be appropriate to register. Thanks for everything I have found so far.

I suppose I should introduce myself here. I have a history with arcade video game collecting and operating. I recently purchased both a non working IGT PE+ Slant Top Video Poker and a non working Universal Target Scope Quarter Slot Machine. I have been busy restoring them and have recently gotten them both playable. The poker game is fully restored now other than cleaning. The slot still needs repair of the bill validator system, and I need to build a base or something for it.

I am a coin op with a route in northern california. I do all kinds of amusement machines. I find that the skillset require to repair, restore, and maintain arcade and redemption games is quite similar to working with the gambling machines. The hardest part is actually that there is a lot less documentation around the gambling games. That also makes it a lot more fun and satisfying to fix and repair.

I have found this site and the members to be very helpful and knowledgeable. I hope I can one day help others as well.

Welcome KaPH33n!
And what does your user name mean??? You'd probably be good at working on Bally EM machines as they share parts with the pinball games.

It's a 20+ year old nickname I have from IRC and Gaming. If you remember 1337 speak it was a thing back in those days. So KaPH33n is kapheen, which is a misspelling of caffeine.

I would be interested in seeing a Bally machine, as I have shopped a few pinballs out. Probably very similar hardware, pcbs, lights, etc.

Hello! Name is Sean, used to be a slot tech at an indian casino from 1995-2008. Am currently self-employed as a slot tech at a northern lake tahoe casino and since we have a lot of older games and after the 10 + YEAR hiatus I'm finding myself looking up things here often so thought I'd join.

Welcome Sean!!!
VERY glad to have you here. Feel free anytime to chime in and help out with issues here in your area of expertise. What kind of older games are in service at that casino in Tahoe?

Ash100 · « **Reply #379 on:** August 26, 2020, 11:33:35 AM »

Welcome to the forum everyone.

I've certainly learned a lot since I joined. And these folks are stellar technicians that will go out of their way to help you out.

Woody from Atlanta, glad to see someone in my state join. I'm in Warner Robins, Georgia if you ever need anything.

Awesome forum!
