Triple Diamond s+ New Owner looking to add paylines and other

[2L8ULUZ]

Hello, I have a s+ triple diamond single pay line machine that I would like to convert to a 5 or 9 way pay line. Is this possible?
If not, can I add a 3 coin option vs the 2 that I have now??


Couple of Qs... I really appreciate the help here...


1. Every 5th quarter or so it seems as the machine does not add a credit... so it just gets consumed without a play


2. I have a bill validator front and unit attached to it in the back but the previous owner said that I need another back piece to make this functional [size=78%]"See Attached" What other part do I need to make this work??[/size]


3. Is there a way to convert my machine to have the credits and payout shown below the reels vs on the side- this must be an old set up??


4. I saw on ebay an option to convert the machine to a "Wheel of Fortune" set up with the add on of the spinning wheel at the top... am I crazy to think that this is a possibility as well?? How about just the wheel of fortune game in where when the reel stop hits on that the reels automatically spin until a win happens?


5. Progressive options?


I'm really just looking to have fun with my new toy and enjoy all of the possibilities... just need a little guidance here... The previous owner ust installed a new battery and inserted a 88% payout chip...


What are the payout chip options?




Attached are the pics of my current bill set up...


If anyone can tell me where to get the parts I am needing "Bill Validator" "Wheel of Fortune" material or the 5 and 9 way payout options for my existing single pay triple diamond  I would really would appreciate it...


Sorry for all the Qs... but i'm hoping to be able to add to this forum in the near future

Welcome to the site!

You have a lot of questions (good!) -- I'll try to hit them all:

- It is possible to change to a 3, 5, or 9 line game, although the reel strips for the multi-line games are typically different from the single-line games, so you'd likely need new reel strips, along with new reel glass, award glass, and EPROM chips.  The following FAQ provides detailed information on what's needed to change from one game to another: http://www.newlifegames.net/spset/gamechange.htm

- An easier option would be to change your game from a 2 Coin Multiplier (2CM) to a 3 Coin Multiplier (3CM).  You would need a different award glass to show the 3-coin payouts, and a new SS chip.  Your reel strips likely can remain the same.  The IGT Bible on the site shows the different payback chips available for many S+ games -- click on 2CM or 3CM at the top to see the different chips available for your Triple Diamond game.  http://newlifegames.net/igtbible/

- If you're inserting quarters and they're getting "eaten" without giving credit or causing a tilt, you likely have a large coin encoder in your coin-in optics.  If you can post a picture of the coin-in area (the inside of the machine, with the door open) that would be helpful.

- The bill validator in your machine is a garbage Western Money Systems validator retrofit.  They're not worth trying to fix, typically, but someone more familiar with them would have to tell you what part(s) you're missing.  Additional photos would be helpful.  Generally speaking, though, it's probably a lost cause.

- You conceivably could change out the reel glass and install a different LED display bar to move the credit displays below the reels, but it would likely be more trouble than it's worth just to move them there for the sake of moving them.

- You will not be able to convert this S+ machine to a Wheel of Fortune machine.  Even a newer S2000 machine would be very difficult to find all of the parts needed to convert to a Wheel of Fortune machine -- it's taken some people years and years to put theirs together.

- There are a couple of "Spin 'Til You Win"-type game kits out there for the S+, which would require changing the glass, reel strips, and chips to a new kit.  Spin 'Til You Win, Coral Reef, and 4th Of July offer that feature, off the top of my head.  Those kits are difficult to find, though, as they're sought after due to their unique features.

- You could add a Mikohn ChamII+ progressive controller and meter to your S+ machine.  Look in the Mikohn Progressive section of the site for more information on those.

- Another option would be to add an IGT "mini photon" progressive.  Check the IGT Stand-alone Progressive Systems section of the site for more info.

Good luck with your new machine.  Be careful -- they tend to multiply and fill up your house!
