Hi,

My s+ is randomly making a respin when itâ€™s not suppose to I think, and sometimes after a pull when I see that Itâ€™s gonna get a nudge on reel 1 and 2 or 3 it make a respin between the nudge, pretty strange and wonder why it behave that way?

One of the reel strips has probably slipped and needs realigned.

SPN · « **Reply #2 on:** January 16, 2021, 12:25:55 PM »

How do I realign the reels or the strips as you say, and is there a way to check if thatâ€™s the case ?

Thanks 😇

Usually where the paper overlaps and about an inch or so above it on the right side edge of the reel basket is a notch. If you put your finger along the edge of the basket you will feel it. The cut out notches in the strip align with that notch. Once you find that notch there should be one on the left side also but that's not the important side. All three reels should have all the notches and cut outs lined up. If not aligned, this is the problem.

Yes I found the notch and the cut in the reel strip and all three reels are in place as they should.

It happens maybe 1 or two times every 20- 50 spin and randomly, I notice that the top candle also
react with a short blink when it happened but Iâ€™m not sure if that happened every time..

Is there a way to test it ?

S2000 is so much more easy to handle in general but I love the s+ machines too, hehe

Thanks for your help Ken 😇

I don't have a machine ready to verify and it's been a long time.

Push the self test switch until the #4 is in the coins played window. Should show the SS and SP number on the left side of the denom insert. Press the spin reel button and see if all 3 top awards line up on the payline .. without closing the door. If so then all that should be correct. After that I'm not sure where to go next other than let it break.

Are you able to take a video of what's happening to show us? It might make it easier to diagnose the issue.

If you are, I'd recommend taking the video and then uploading it to YouTube. You can post the link here for us to see.

Hereâ€™s a video of the slot machine and you can see the top candle blinks after around 16 sec and then it makes a respin!
It looks like itâ€™s reel number one from the left every time.

Can it be the motor or optic, software etc..

Call the priest! That machine needs to be exorcised!!

I'm going to say "stuck logic" signal....use a Clear chip and set the denom back up.

Tilt · « **Reply #9 on:** January 17, 2021, 08:12:30 AM »

Looks normal to me. When the 4th of July symbol on reel three lands on the payline it will respin the reels until you hit a winning combination.

Stayouttadabunker · « **Reply #10 on:** January 17, 2021, 08:14:19 AM »

Tilt, You're describing it as like a "Spin To Win"?

I didn't know that....I always thought it was like a "Haywire" game...I've never had that game.

In that case, then I'd say do NOT use the Clear chip.

Disregard my last Reply....thanks....I didn't finish my coffee yet! haha

SPN · « **Reply #11 on:** January 17, 2021, 08:52:40 AM »

Yes thatâ€™s right it is a spin to you win game after you get the 4th of July symbol and nudge function as well. Iâ€™m not sure how to clear the game and I know itâ€™s way harder than the s2000 game so I hope I donâ€™t need to either.. if you guys look closer 16 sec in the video you will see that it repeat the same last spin not just regular spin and at the same time the top candle blink and you can notice a short blink in the digital display also and Iâ€™m sure itâ€™s not suppose to do that..

Iâ€™m not sure how rare this game is but do you guys know?

Haha cheers with coffee right back at ya

I see what you're talking about. First thing I'd check is the connection on the motherboard from the power supply. They tend to overheat, oxidize, and eventually fail over time.

See this post for more details. If yours is starting to fail contact member Ken here, he may still have some new ones available.

Thanks Tilt for remembering.

I still have them.

Hereâ€™s a picture of the connection and it all looks pretty clean and there are no burn marks..

Tilt · « **Reply #15 on:** January 17, 2021, 11:45:28 AM »

That one does look pretty good.

Is when it's going to nudge a symbol the only time it blinks the candle and respins the reels? It's not doing it every time it nudges though from watching the video.

Stayouttadabunker · « **Reply #16 on:** January 17, 2021, 11:47:26 AM »

I still say it's possessed! haha
Hey...your SS reel chip...is it OEM or a copy?

Ken · « **Reply #17 on:** January 17, 2021, 12:09:06 PM »

I've seen the video from my phone so I'm probably not getting a good look. I remember that one of the S+ respins after a long respin the sound would go funky. But don't remember the candle blinking. I'm thinking SS too but this one is not going to be an easy one to solve until it breaks or start replacing parts.

SPN · « **Reply #18 on:** January 17, 2021, 12:45:25 PM »

Itâ€™s not only when it nudge and not on every nudge and itâ€™s randomly. It looks like it is only reel number 1 and still never happened with reel 2 or 3 Today I tried around 500 tokens and it only happened once and it was not with a nudge involved..

Tilt · « **Reply #19 on:** January 17, 2021, 01:03:30 PM »

That makes it tough to find. Usually if there was a problem with reel #1 you'd get a 41 error. Inspect the reel carefully and make sure it's not rubbing on anywhere and that the connector is fully seated. If all that looks good my next suggestion would be to swap reel #1 and reel #2 around and see if the problem stays with reel 1 or moves to reel 2. If the problem stays with reel 1 then there's probably something going bad on your MPU board. If it moves to reel #2 then it's with the reel itself. You'll have to move the reel strips too because all three strips are different in your game.
