Title: IGT S2000 Bill Validator Money Controls
Post by: Gizmo02 on September 04, 2020, 04:46:42 AM
Dear Forum,
I am new to slot machines and have so far been paying attention to pinball machines from the 1980s. I bought and restored the two favorite pinball machines of my youth from Gottlieb (Black Hole and Haunted House). Now I bought my first slot machine, IGT S2000 Cleopatra 5 reel. So this is my first post in this great forum with so much knowledge and helpfulness.
I live in Germany and my new slot machine is coinless and has a bill validator (Money Controls, IGT Part No. 62544390, 80x36-10, IBA 5) that can only recognize old Euro bills. I don't have any old Euro bills anymore and therefore I can't charge up any credits. It will take some time until I can supply myself with Keychip, Coin in-parts and new BV. In the meantime, I would like to be able to test Cleopatra very quickly to see if it works properly. Cleopatra consists of the Operator and Attendant menus available to me.
Is there a way I can charge up credits without bills? My old pinball machines only have mechanical coin acceptors and that is no problem if you know the right switch ;-)
I hope the experts can help me with a trick.
Thanks a lot,
Christian

Welcome to NLG.
Look into purchasing a TITO unit for your Cleo.
They can be set to print tickets that the machine will recognize and post credits.
Also available on TITO is the ability to have credits add by just pressing the service button on the play panel.
You must tell the provider that you want that option and they will set the TITO board up to add almost any number of credits that you want using the service button.

QBert,thank you. That is a geat idea. I am going to organize a Tito unit.
But in the meantime, is there a trick to add credots without having the correct bills?
