New Problem for Players Edge Poker

[jay]

I have enabled the double up on my slot.

If I won 5 coins, If I opt to double it deals 5 cards and displays the house card.
I choose the one of the 5 that I want, and if it's higher than the house then I win.
It would be a 10 coin win otherwise I get 0.

Kind of a fun ending.....

The strange thing with this game is that when he decides to stop trying to double his winning and says no to the next attempt, the machine splits the winnings between coins paid and credits added back to the machine? I’ve only ever seen the winning totally go back to credits, never split before?

[jay]

Isn’t that due to a max credit setting on the Machine ?

[Rep]

That's a possibility but if so it would have to be set pretty low if only doubling once and it exceeding the limit, but that could cause it

[jay]

Maybe there is already 290 credits on the machine ??

A win of 10 hits the 300 credit limit, doubling is 20.... 10 goes to the credit pile, and the excess to the hopper....

 or something like that.....

[Rep]

Very possible, especially if set to a low denom like pennies. Pics/vid would help us a ton here just so we could see how the machine is acting and if we could see the test menu settings and see how everything is set but no pics or vid as of yet, but the credit limit could come into play but if it's split paying every single time then I question it. We just need more info to work with here I think, pics/vid so we can visually see what's going on here and we could iron it all out

Why is the hopper not spitting out any coins or machine not locking up if it was a limit thing?

[Amechanic]

I just texted this guy. Hopefully we hear from him later today.. I know he has not changed the battery yet so it’s as was setup before the previous person owned it before the monitor went out. He’s located over in NY., so maybe this game was over in a East Coast Casino?? It doesn’t matter if he wins 10,20,40 credits. Half go to coin tray other half to credits? So I don’t think it’s a jackpot limit issue?

[Rep]

I got the impression it was always doing it which was why I kinda ruled out the credit limit, tho as jay mentioned if the credits on the machine were near the limit it could cause it. I just can't imagine the credits were always way up near the limit, so I felt it was something else, and not any setting I was familiar with from the test menu unless some kind of setting I had never seen before. Hope he gets back to you, and maybe gets pics/vid so we can see what's really going on here, then it'll be solved in no time

Credit limit would not be a hand pay.


A hand pay occurs when you exceed the hopper limit. Which is different than the max credits.
You could have a hopper limit of 300 and a credit limit of 600.

Assuming you had 500 credits and

you tried to cash out you would get 300 coins then it goes into a hand pay.


Of if you hit a Royal Flush for 1200 coins 600 would go to credit, and 300 would come from the hopper then you go to a hand pay.


A progressive is always a hand pay and nothing comes from the hopper.

[sixcardmark]

Mine are both set at 400. I am pretty sure if I get a win that would take the credit meter over 400 it pays by hopper instead of by credits unless the single win is over 400 credits then it pays nothing and just goes to hand pay.

Depends on the game.

Hi Everyone, between work and a few medical issues , I wasn't able to post sooner but ...I just wanted to thank you all and wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR and all the best for 2019 !! AMechanic and all of you have been a HUGE help in bringing my IGT back to life (so my Wife can't say I wasted money buying it lol) and it turns out , she plays it everyday. I bought a key you told me about for the reset and it works great and overall ..we're both really enjoying it ...thanks to all of you !!


As far as the game -I have no clue why but , it stopped paying half from the hopper and putting the other half of the winnings in the credits - now if I win it only asks to double down ..if I win that and tell it I don't want to double down again , all my winnings go in the credits . The only glitch it has is ..if I win and by accident hit the far right button , it cashes all my credits out. But the far Left button says cash out , not the far right . That's a pain since we've hit that by accident 6 times now when I had credits built up to over 600 and I had to keep opening the door to refill the hopper lol. Maybe the wires are crossed  ...but it's ok , I live with it. I am worried about that battery though so , I should change that soon. Also  ..even when I turn up the volume , there are no sounds except the clicks when I put coins in or use the credits ..I'm not sure if that's normal or if there's suppose to be some background music or fanfare sound effects ?
My next "project" is going to be that old Bally slot machine. I was finally able to pull out the Hopper and the Reel assembly. I was thinking about spraying it all down with Contact cleaner to get the dust and years of yuk off it ..not sure if the solvents will hurt anything though so , I'll start a new thread with pictures about that. But Gents , thanks a million for all your help

Open the door, Press the white button and step through the various screens and settings.
Most are pretty obvious such as enabling the double down option, win music, card sounds etc.

[Hiram]

Thanks Jay ..I'll try that for sure !!

[Amechanic]

Be careful of the reel strips on the Bally. Contact me if you need help or advice. I’ve got a few tricks and advice to help get it running.

[Hiram]

a friend (he's in the picture) helped me pull out the assemblies and he turned one of the reels one or 2 positions (he didn't spin it) ..I told him not  to do it again in case it would damage something. Everything seems sluggish as if the whole things should be dipped and lubed . I hope he didn't mess anything up

[Amechanic]

It should be just fine.  👍

Open the door and press the white self-test button once.  That should bring you to the Self Test Inputs diagnostic screen.  You'll see a screen like the image I've attached.

When on that screen, you can test each of your buttons, and the "0" should change to a "1" when you press the button.  For example, if you press the left hold button, the zero to the left of "HOLD 1" should change to a "1" when you have the button pressed.  Test each of your buttons to determine if they are labeled correctly and/or if you have wires going to the wrong buttons.

Hi Gents ...I just wanted to come by and thank you all again ...we're having a lot of fun with the Machine !!! Every now and then the "Call Attendant" message comes up and says either Door or Hopper issue but , I just turn it off and play with the white button and reset key and it goes away.   I posted a short video of it (I hit 4 Aces !!) on my Facebook page.
