Igt s+ 4th of July randomly respin ( see video )

Cool!
I don't think I've ever seen an SP494 ever used in a game....unusual 

I would turn ON the 1st dip switch tho...you have 1 OFF, 2, 3, 4 ON, the rest OFF.

To each his own tho

[SPN]

I have several extra reel motors and can try to change it on reel #1 and see if that helps..


I changed just the dip switch 1 and 2 on purpose so It changed the payout from 400 to 600 coins.


This game was located on a cruise ship in Scandinavia before I got it and this chip was installed when I received, do you know what’s special with this chip ?

[Stayouttadabunker]

Nothing really special...just old as dirt! haha
It's made for that game to match the SS reel chip to make the reels behave like a "Spin To Win" game.
I think your chips are fine...it's just that I don't don't recall IGT making chip labels like that.

Yeah, give that a try. 

[SPN]

Is it worth trying to use clear chip to fix this bug if there is nothing else that solve the problem?

[Tilt]

No.  All a clear chip does is clear the RAM and EEPROM memory.  It won't fix a hardware error and then you end up with setup issues.  "Now every time I play my machine and win something it pays coins out instead of going to the credit meter, why?" etc, etc, etc.

[SPN]

That what I hear and read all over too, and I look at my self as a newbie when it comes to the set up on a s+
Is it easier if I just want to change the pay out percent or should I just stay away everything and just let it be as it is?


I also have s2000 machines and I think they are so much more easier to deal with 

[Stayouttadabunker]

Actually, it's just a matter of understanding the menu system they used for S+'s.
That's why they made it easier for the dummies to set up S2000's at the casinos when they came out. 


You can't change the % anyhow thru the menus on an S+...you have to install a different SS reel chip to change it.


Yours is an SS4364...>>>

SS:4364  3R3CM  MU  PRC:87.592  HTFQ:17.212


In the PAR sheet, it DOES mention this about your chip...>>> "Mother Program's "Spin `Til You Win" feature:"


All in all, your chip is "Casino Tight-As-Hell" 

[SPN]

Yes your right about that, it’s probably not that hard if you have lot of time and good nlg friends to start with, but so far I haven’t started to try to understand  it since I haven’t needed, and I guess that a good reason to stay away from it too, hehe


Do you mean I can just change the reel chip without doing much for changing the %, if so that would be great 

[Stayouttadabunker]

Yeah...change that sucker outta there if you can and get a better chip to play with with a higher percentage.
That chip is for casinos that want to build giant hotels...lol

[SPN]

Nice!


I love robbing my friends but I guess this is better in the long run! 😂


So now Im up for a good one if anyone has one for sale ?

[Tilt]

Contact member RB here, he can probably help you find something with a better payback percentage.

Is this only happening during the Spin-Til-You-Win mode, or does it happen during regular gameplay, too?

It looked to me like a minor power interruption, where the machine recovered (hence the "repeated" spin). But it looks like you've already checked the power connector which is the usual culprit.

I would recommend, with the machine unplugged, checking the power supply and under the motherboard for any loose coins, washers, screws, etc. that could be causing an occasional short.

[SPN]

It did it randomly and not only during spin til you win mode, but now I think we found the issue, but I’m not 100% sure it gone for good..


I did check all plugs and wires and it all looks clean and fine, and there was no loose coins or things like that who could make problems.


I tried another door optic from one of my other machines and now it have been working for days (around 500 pull) without any problems, so I guess that’s why the top candle was flashing too since it normally flash when the door is open..


Thanks to all you guys it looks like the problem is solved, and for sure I could never could solve It without you guys here on NLG, again..


Thanks 😌
