Need Help understanding how to change games on an IGT S Plus Slant Top 1994 Slot Machine:

So basically i just bought a 1994 IGT S Plus Slant Top 25 cent (3 Coin) Double Diamond Slot Machine w/bill validator 10Mhz Motherboard.

I am looking to purchase some other Game kits (Glass, Reels, Eproms Ect).

I seem to understand that the SP Eprom is the Game Rom and the SS Eprom is the Reels rom. Correct?

Based on the information i gathered here on newlifegames.com

https://www.newlifegames.net/spset/gamechange.htm   Has details about changing games.
From the URL above it explains replacing the GAME/REELS Eproms and such. Most i understand. Some things I really dont.

The Game ROM in the Double Diamond Machine right now, has no label on it, that has any details available to me. It looks like many labels were added and removed over the years.  So I am not sure what type SP# EPROM this exactly is.

So are Games not really specific and just a type?  Type 0 or Type 5?   So as long as you have the a proper SP Chips that uses the Game Type any game will work as long as they match the SP and SS eproms can communicate properly as needed?

Saying the above there is not specific Double Diamond Eprom or Haywire Eprom (Game Eprom)?  It just depends on the SP Eprom Game Chip Type that supports the game your installing (Eprom wise) on the board in your slot machine.  The SS Reels Eprom has the Pay % and tells where the reels should stop and any (Nudge Up or Down) For Balloon Bars or Haywire or such.

The Document: SP_chip_list_rev_B_(97_doc_format).xls 
shows Index #54    SP Game Chip SP611    Game Types 0,1,4,5,12     so as long as the game type your using falls into this category the game you change to will still work?

Double Diamond is Type 0 (game) so the SP Game Chip needs to have Game Type 0 (zero) available. So the SP611 chip should work as listed above?
Balloon Bars is Type 1 (game) so the SP Game Chip needs to have Game Type 1 available. So the SP611 chip should work as listed above?
Coral Reef is a Type 5 (game) so the SP Game Chip needs to have Game Type 5 available. So the SP611 chip should work as listed above?

Basically the SP Game Chip SP611 Game Eprom would support all 3 games above?

So as long as i find the proper SS Chip (For Balloon Bars and Coral Reef) per the web page.
https://www.newlifegames.net/igtbible/IGT%203CM/Game%20Library%20-%20S-Plus.htm     shows the SS# and Paytable %.
https://www.newlifegames.net/igtbible/IGT%203CM/Game%20Library%20-%20S-Plus%20-%20Ballon%20Bars%20(3%20Coin%20Multiplier).htm

So just finding the proper SS Eproms and Reels basically changes the game in most cases?

Sorry for all the ramblings here i am just so new that i want to fully understand what i am doing and what i am getting into.

I appreciate anyones help or input here to help me so i fully understand what i am doing.

Thanks again to all the people here at NLG, there is so much great information I have found so far that is helping me understand.

Yes, most game changes only need the reel eprom, reel strips, and glass changed out.

Thank you sixcardmark, for the confirmation. I appreciate it.
I am so excited to start collecting some game kits.

Think of the GAME (SP) chip as the operating system of the machine (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10, etc.). Each version of the SP chip supports certain game types. So long as your currently installed SP chip supports the new game type, you don't have to change it out.

Even with an unlabeled chip, you can determine the current chip numbers in your machine with the instructions found on this page.
