Title: *LOOK HERE FIRST* IGT S2000 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and How-To Guides*
Post by: knagl on September 26, 2018, 01:20:16 AM
Over the years many topics in the S2000 forum have been "stickied" by moderators and site staff as being important reference topics, however the sheer number of sticky posts has caused new messages to nearly disappear off the first page.  This FAQ/How-To link post aims to resolve that, by placing links to all of the previously stickied topics in one place for easy reference.  If you are new to the IGT S2000, or want to refer to some frequently asked questions or guides, take a look here first to see if your questions can be answered by some of these previous topics:
