Jackpot to Credits key?

<< < (2/6) > >>

peasoup:
Not sure if it helps, I have the 19" with 5.0 installed (thanks Tilt for pointing that out) and I went into the Setup screen and found where I can set the limits up to $100,000.  No hand pays, no slips, at least until I hit the cash out button.

I was able to track down where a 2nd switch would need to be physically connected, according to the wiring diagram, thanks Tilt. It's pin 13 A on a female connector, where the I/O board gets plugged into. That pin position is currently empty. So what kind of connector pins are needed to add a 22 gauge wire that connector? Are there special tools needed to insert / extract these pins? I think I have a good understanding of the other parts needed to complete the rest of the project.


The whole point of this is to lock up the machine and play the happy music when somebody hits a jackpot, just like in the casino. But, instead of hand-paying, we're just playing for fun, so the idea is to leave the jackpot on the credit meter, so they can keep playing.


I have hit a jackpot in a casino, while betting the very last of my credits. After being hand paid, they always ask you to play another hand while they observe, so the jackpot is no longer displayed. There was a brief moment of hesitation, when I pointed out that I no longer had any credits. They decided that if they added a credit for me to play it off, I couldn't win, so I just put more money in and kept playing.


Reminds me of a time a lady next to me was dealt 4 aces and she excitedly held all 5 cards and pressed draw. Since it was a triple play, it was a 800 X 3 win and a hand pay. While she was waiting, I pointed out to her that she could have just held the aces and perhaps drawn a kicker (2-4) and won even more. She thanked me for the advice. When her money arrived, they asked her to play another hand to clear the jackpot. On that subsequent hand, she was dealt 2 Aces and wouldn't you know it, the draw was A-A-2 for back to back jackpots.

Tilt:
I think this is the pin used in that connector.  You could probably get away with crimping it with a pair of needle nose pliers or possibly even a bit of solder.  Order some extras to practice with.

Thanks for that info. The insertion & removal tools for these would set me back about $75. The crimp tool is $373. Can't see doing that. I suppose if the wire is stiff enough and I get it crimped right the first time, I might get lucky enough to do without the insertion or extraction tools. But, my experience says the crimp has to be done properly or the pin won't usually fit into the limited space. If anybody already has some of these female pins and can crimp one onto an 8 foot piece of 22 gauge wire, and sell it to me, that would be great!


More research on this topic found the following attachment. I couldn't find anything more about this particular part number that is mentioned, but looking at the picture, it disagrees with the wiring diagram. The diagram shows that closing the 2nd Reset SW would connect two input signals together. In the picture in the attachment, the yellow/green wire (presumably ground) routes to both switches, instead of the black/red wire, so each switch, when activated, grounds one of the two input signals. This makes more sense to me. Did IGT make a mistake on the drawing?

Tilt:
I'll dig around in my spare parts.  At one time I had a wiring harness for a S2000 and could probably remove a pin/wire from the I/O card connector and send it to you.  The wire wouldn't be 8' long, but you could solder/heat shrink another one to it to get the length you need.

Kiesubs drawing & picture is for a S2000 2nd reset switch and for whatever reason the wiring is the opposite on a Game King/Igame.  What you're doing is taking the ground from the existing jackpot reset switch and splitting it off to the new switch (blk/red wire GK, Yel/Grn S2000). Then running a new wire from the other side of the switch to pin 13A on the cabinet I/O card which is inside the cabinet on the left hand side.  If you have a GK without the upper button deck then it's the only I/O card in the cabinet.

When you turn the switch you're applying a ground to pin 13A through the new switch via the ground on the original switch.
