Changing payout?

[deltabox888]

I got game working but all bills are auto paying out with coins from hopper.  I already set all bills to go to credit meter but still coming out automatically from hopper.


I saw in the options for newbies write up that this setting has to be done using the set chip when activating the dbv?  How do you do this?


Looks like my SET chip option is configured as DISABLED.  How do I enable it?

[CVslots]

You will need to install a SET chip. That setting is not enabled/disabled with a SEt chip anyway, only changing denomination and activating a bill validator. You don't have one of the bill settings set properly. Double check the setting on the "All bills go to credit" one more time.

OH, and make sure you have ZERO credits on the machine or any changes you make will NOT save!

[deltabox888]

I double checked and everything looks ok. It's set to go to credit meter. When I put in a $20 bill, it pays out 80 quarters from hopper but flashes 20 credits also. I know something is not right.


I also played with coins and ALL wins are automatically paid out through hopper. It's like my credit meter is not working.  Did I miss a setting somewhere?


It's set at 5-0, which means all wins goes to credit meter.  And it's set at 8-1, which means all bills inserted go to credit meter.  I'm lost.


Is there a setting to tell all bills to go credit with the SET CHIP?

What is your CREDIT limit set to? Set it high, like 3000, or even 9999. Sounds like its set to 0 right now.

And no, SET chip is ONLY for setting denomination and activating Bill Validator.

Which one is credit limit?  I went thru all of the 7 options (I.e. 7-1, 7-2 etc.).  Here are my settings.


7-1   100
7-2.  2501
7-3.  9999
7-5.  9000
8.     0000


Should I do a clear again and repeat the whole thing?

Push the button that says credit/cash so that it is lit before you put in the bill.  You probably have the setting for cash/credit play defaulted to cash.  So if you push this button, and it is lit, the bill should go to credits instead of cashing out.

Ok, hold on, hold on, hold on....I just read the "typical settings for home users" post and I just learned something! With some SP chips, there is one more thing that can be done with a SET chip. I was not aware of this, I guess I've always gotten lucky!

Here read this, especially the part that is highlighted in RED.

SP1271 family of game chips: Typical setup for home use.

Important: All setting changes require 0 credits on the machine before entering setup mode.

With the machine turned on and in idle mode, open the door press the white test button 2 times
You should see "2  n" in the winner paid/credits windows, where n= 0 or 1. Press the spin button until it reads "2  1”
               This enables the spin sounds.
Turn the jackpot key once. This advances through the setup sub-menu
You should see "5  n" in the window, where n= 0 to 2. Press the spin button until it reads "5  0"
               This will make all wins automatically go to the credit meter. You will not have to turn on the credit button before playing.
Turn the jackpot key three times.
You should see "8  n" in the window, where n= 0 to 2. Press the spin button until it reads "8  1"
               This will force all bills inserted to go to the credit meter. You will never accidentally end up cashing out your bill.
                  [ADD 5-30-2011] It turns out that this setting has to be enabled when the dbv is set up using the SET chip. If the SET chip option is
                  configured as disabled, this option can't be changed and all bills will always go to the tray. If the SET chip option is configured as enabled,
                  then the option is set here. If enabled, a set chip is NOT required to change this setting.
                      Thanks Poppo and Stayouttadabunker for this info. 

Turn the jackpot key once
Press the white test button to "return" to the main menu and advance through it until you get to option group 7

          {stop the first time you see a “7” in the Coins-In display}
Set your hopper and credit limits as follows:
               Note: To set these values, turn the jackpot reset key to change the selected (flashing) digit. Press the spin button to increment the
                          flashing digit.
[7-1] 0000   Maximum number of credits that will actually cash out from your hopper.

                               Zero effectively disables the hopper, but you can use a low number to match the number of coins that you have, if you wish.
                               If you have more credits than the value set here on the meter, pressing cash out will become a hand pay that is cleared with
                               the key.
[7-2] 1200  This will cause all single wins of 1201 or more to lock up as a jackpot with lights flashing. Set this between the highest win that you

                           want to pay out normally and the lowest win that you want to lock up as a jackpot. Jackpot wins cleared with the jp key
                           "disappear" and are not added to the credit meter (although they are added to the jackpot meter in the bookkeeping menus.)
[7-3] 9999  All single wins of equal to or less than the value set in [7-2] (1200 or less in this case) will go to the credit meter as long as the final

                           number of credits is less than 10,000.
[7-5] 2000  The bill validator will turn off when you have more than 2000 credits. Use any value that you want here.
[8]    0000  optional.  Partial pay on lockups. If you want some of your jackpot or lockup amounts to pay from the hopper, set this
                                 to the number of coins you want to pay out. This number cannot be higher than the hopper limit setting [7-1].
Press the white test button one final time after making your last setting change to be sure that the changes stick
Close the door

Yes. I saw that too. That's what I was trying to ask you in the beginning.  How do you enable the option.


But you know. I fiddled with the settings. I changed the 5-0 to 5-2.  And I set 7-1 to 300 and set 7-2 to 300 as well.  Now it gives me credits.

[CVslots]

So you're all fixed? No more cashing out bills when they are inserted?

[deltabox888]

Ok.  I found the setting that effectively changes this auto payout thing. I know in the write up it tells all newbies to set it to 5-0 telling all wins to go to credit.  Well I set mine to 5-2 and all seems fine.  Bills go to credit meter as well as all wins.

I know setting it to 5-2 gives you the option to toggle the CASH/CREDIT button. But when I press mine it does nothing.  At this point I don't care. 

Thanks for all your help!

If it works, don't MESS with it, lol!!! Glad you found it! Sorry if I ran you around earlier. Learn something new everyday I guess. Sorry it had to be at your expense.
