Title: My latest addition - GK - Need help with accepting tickets in bill acceptor
Post by: JimatJax on March 02, 2023, 05:03:02 PM
Hello folks, my latest addition to my game room is a slant top game king multi game/denomination.

Everything works fine, except the printed tickets won't accept in the bill acceptor.  They always kick back out.  It takes all the bills correctly and prints out a ticket of winnings.

I've attached a copy of the game info from one of the menu items. 

I'm not real familiar with this machine, I've only fixed a few things on my IGT S+ machines with your help!

I would guess that I need to contact RB for a set chip to make changes?  I'd also like to see what other games are available for this machine.  It currently has 12 within each denomination.

Thanks for your help!

It won't accept tickets unless you have a TITO board installed in the machine.  Do you have that?

Not sure, where would it normally be located?  I've attached a picture of the printer, would it mount in the slot directly below it?

It's user installed, but is normally installed on the back bottom of the machine behind the coin hopper (if you have a hopper).  Open the door, remove the hopper (if present) and take a picture of the back of the machine and we can tell you.

Or take a pic of the front of a ticket you cashed out, we can tell from it.

Okay, thanks!  It doesn't have a coin hopper, but I'd like to add that feature sometime.  I guess I'd have to pull out the monitor for better access to the stuff in the back.  But, I've tried to take a couple of pictures.....looks like something added on the right side in this picture.

Here's another couple pictures, the best I could get at the moment.

That's not what I was expecting to see.  How about a picture from a bit further back so we can see the entire inside of the machine.  Also an exterior shot, the whole machine as it sits on the stand.

I dont think you have a TITO device installed. If you did the printed amount would match up along the numbers at right side of ticket.

Tilt, remember it's a slant top.  And.. I'd agree with T seeing there's nothing plugged into the service outlet either.

JimatJax, look at the TiTO section of forum topics and you will see what one looks like.  It's a board a little smaller than a deck of cards, that's usually not mounted in a frame, has an external power source, a cable running to the processor board and possibly the bill acceptor.

Thanks, you're right, he did say that in his original post too but I missed that.  I knew it wasn't the interior of a 17" upright cabinet, but wasn't sure what it was.  Some TITO units plug directly into the power/comm distribution box, but you can't see it in the photos.

Also JimatJax.  After looking at the threads it's a little difficult to find pictures.  This is the link to the Bettor site: https://www.bettorslots.com/product-page/bettor-tito-standard (https://www.bettorslots.com/product-page/bettor-tito-standard)  The current TiTO@home board is a LOT simpler (component wise).  This link shows all versions: http://www.titoathome.com/history (http://www.titoathome.com/history)

Here's a pic of where I put my TITO at home boards and connections in a 17" GK cabinet.  It's one of Brian's early models, but they are still working great.

That is not a tito ticket.  Just a souvenir. If you do have a tito board it is not setup.

I still keep waiting to hear the story of some genius that decides to take one of these home tickets and tries jamming it into a casino machine a few times.  Do it enough and it'll gain the attention of security who probably lead you out in handcuffs.  But ya know, somebody here had probably tried it.

I set up about 12 machines at a pinball show years back. A few people cashed the machine to tickets, and started to take off with them. I explained that if they tried to use them at a casino,  it would be fraud, which wouldn't end up well for them.
The casino may just laugh it off, but you never know.

I don't think it would end well either.  They don't have much of a sense of humor when it comes to people trying to cheat.

Sorry, I was afraid those pictures were not much help!  I'm not familiar with how to get into the machine properly and didn't want to disturb things.  I'd assume the monitor slides in and out easily, but wasn't sure about the connections, etc.  If you could provide some guidance for that I'll attempt to dig into the machine further to get those pictures.

Thanks for the info!  I'll look into that, seems like a simple add-on feature.  I wonder why who ever set up this machine would install just the printer and not be able to reuse them?  I thought it would be neat to create some tickets for $100, $200 etc to use at times.

Thanks for those links, I'll look into buying one of those....I'm sure this machine doesn't have one now after all these comments and help from folks!

Thanks for the picture, that gives me something to look for in my machine....I'm sure it doesn't have one now after all the comments.  Seems like an easy add-on feature, but I'm sure I'll have questions later about the install process and you guys are great with all the answers!  Thanks again!

Thanks for checking and looking at my picture.  You guys sure know your stuff well, I'll look into getting one of those TITO boards.....just seems like the right thing to do, especially when company comes over to play....I can just hand out tickets for free play!

If you don't have one in machine they are pretty cheap and pretty easy to install
