Title: WTB: Bally Alpha S9000 colored reels?
Post by: Yoeddy1 on January 22, 2018, 06:36:35 PM: Guys,

I'm not really sure what I'm looking for here, but I've seen some games new and older that have reels that turn colors during bonus rounds, or when a special symbol hits, etc. Are these special reels or are these LED kits that go somewhere else? Could somebody provide specifics and what does it cost to set a machine up with this?

Here's a video of one of Ford's machines:

Thanks,

Common? Mine are backlit, but they donâ€™t change colors. Perhaps I donâ€™t have any games that talk to the OS to change the colors.

In other words, if I bought a Bullseye themed game, would my current reels produce the colors like the reels in the video or is there another type of reel set out there which accomplish this?

Thanks,
Jason

The reel back lights are still white. When I first got mine, the above reel lighting bar was from a 3 reel machine and did not work right. I had to get a 5 reel light bar.

Ok, so the led bar on the top of the reel glass is changing colors then, not the reels.

Post by: rickhunter on January 22, 2018, 09:26:58 PM: Yes, it's the led bar on top. Come to think of it, my bullseye bonus games do that. So I guess it does change colors. Getting old sucks!

Post by: Yoeddy1 on January 22, 2018, 10:03:58 PM: So that said, looks like the OS sends the color command based on what the game is. Maybe Fordâ€™s game is unique because itâ€™s a 3 reel game and the 5 reel version isnâ€™t colored.

Looks like we can close this thread and Iâ€™ll bump my WTB for a Bullseye kit.

Thanks,
Jason
