Welcome to the forum. I'm a newbie like yourself and agree this is a GREAT forum. I recently installed the Bettor TITO (Jim is a supporting vendor user name BettorSlots) on my sisters IGT GameKing and I am very happy with it. It works great,, was easy to install and their support was excellent. They have 2 models one basic and a Deluxe version that does allot thru WIFI. There is a sticky in the Clissified section that has a comparison chart. Check it out you will love TITO. It makes it allot easier to add credits. You can use the tickets over and over and if you have multiple machines (with TITO) they can all read the ticket.

Hello everyone. I'm new to the scene and the nlg forum seemed like the place to be. Lots of good information here so I decided to join. Just bought 2 IGT s2000 machines (a white ice and a double gold)... First time owner and I'm hooked. I was warned by the guy I bought them from that collecting these machines can be an addictive hobby, I can see why.... First time playing these machines with some friends and I had a reel tilt on one and a cash box error on the other. Thanks to the nlg forums, I got them both fixed in a hurry.. Now looking to add TITO if anyone has suggestion. Sooo much to learn.

Welcome, Wally!

You're a good "kid"! I hope my kids buy me a slot machine in my retirement years!

If you need help, you'll get lots of it here!

Great theme to start with....

There are alot of different game kits you can change that machine over to if he gets bored.... see Ricks FAQs and reference the game bible.

One thing that I found after owning machines for years is that people stop playing them if there is no sense of loss/reward.

I run mine off tokens, put a big bucket of tokens next to the machine, people pop in a few then walk away.
Once I started rolling my tokens (like quarters) and handing out a roll - they greedily take this away play their roll and come back looking for more when they are gone.

If you set the %% low enough you can fund your retirement off of his !! (kidding). But what you might want to do is record the coin in/out off of the internal meters and give him a weekly win/loss report.
Makes some good father/son accounting time and conversation.

Welcome Wally, learning the ropes like you. May I suggest looking into the Bettor Slots TITO system (assuming your machine is set up to print tickets). It allows you to read printed tickets through the bill validator. I think it will really add to the experience if your father can print out his tickets to be used again the next time he sits down.. Just my 2 cents. Looking to add one to each of my machines once they are in stock. Check out the posts above yours for links to his site for more info. Good luck!

Good morning everyone! I just picked up a Bally E series slot yesterday and am looking forward to tuning it up and getting it working again (powers on but won't play consistently, the reels don't spin very fast and don't always stop on their own, error code 43). Looks like there are a lot of helpful resources here. I'm going to start with a lube job and making sure the reel mechanism is adjusted correctly.

I have restored some similar machines in the past. I have 2 pinball machines (Williams "Space Mission" and Stern "Big Game"), 3 arcade cabinets (Centipede, Arkanoid, and a Ms Pacman currently plugged in to a multigame board), and 3 pachinko machines (1 fully mechanical and 2 electronic).

This one armed bandit will make a fine edition to my collection. The theme of this machine is pretty bog-standard boring though, so I will probably end up printing new reels and payout information to a more fun Mario theme (I'm thinking the card memory game in SMB3).

Cheers!
GreenMario

Hi, I am Wingy and I reside in the city of lake effect snow. I am a human slave to an old cat and a bossy parrot. I have been lurking here for about a year learning about the various machines and their quirks. Currently my game room just has a William's Darts pinball machine and a 1962 non working console phonograph that will be my winter project. I am hoping to find a slot or two so that my little game room can start taking shape.

Greetings all, just a school teacher looking for fun that will save me $$ in the long run vs trips to Sin City. Really want to buy a WMS BB2 with the Princess Bride theme, but also looking at a huge step up in cost from a local to me 3x4x5x on CL. Since this will be my first machine, input from those that know more is greatly appreciated

shortrackskater · « **Reply #433 on:** July 14, 2021, 03:40:58 PM »

Hello new members Tripel7, Wingy, and Indigo_M!
Good luck with your slot machines and of course, you future slot machines. They tend to multiply over time.
Remember to post questions in the appropriate categories.

Save up and buy what you really want. You will spend more if you get another machine now because it is less money but in a few months get what you really want.

Thanks for the advise. so hard to wait when you finally make the choice to get one and want it NOW.

I understand. I still haven't gotten my first machine. I am finding that sellers can't be bothered responding to Craigslist messages, inquiry forms on their websites or answering the phone.

Hello there everyone - I'm Justin, 50 year old Cloud Engineer from New Zealand. I've just stumbled upon an Aristocrat Wild One II poker machine and I'm keen to try to get her up and running. I've been an arcade machine fan all my life so I'm stoked to finally own one - even if it does only play poker (eventually).

Cheers !
