Title: Identify this IGT model
Post by: Wilsoncat on August 24, 2014, 07:42:09 AM
Hello...great board here.

Got a question for the experts.  Can you tell me what model IGT machine this is?

Looks like a S model to me.

Uhh...I've never seen an S model in a round top cabinet. I'm leaning toward very early S+ myself, but we'd really need to see the board inside to be 100% sure.


If you could, open the door, and crouch down a bit and snap us a pic of the contents. IGT overlapped a lot of things, so if a member has a game that is close to the start or the end of a model era, the only way to tell for sure is the MPU board.  :yes:


And welcome to NewLifeGames! Glad you found us!

It's an s+, I don't think double diamond Deluxe was around in the days of the S.  But like Roz says, a look at the mpu board will confirm for sure.

I vote for S+ as well.  I don't think S models supported nudge games like Double Diamond Deluxe

Thanks guys...I was leaning towards thinking its an S model due to the layout of the LED display, no bill validator.  It's for sale locally (well not that local) for around $600.  Thing is, I would like a machine with the bill validator and if this one cannot be modified then I am going to pass.

The lack of bill validator cannot be used exclusively in determination of a machine's model. The early S+ (S-PLUS) machines did not have validators. One real giveaway would be the MPu board. On an S model (not S-Plus), the MPU board is harnessed in to the motherboard. On S-Plus models, the MPU is connected to the motherboard via molex plugs.

It is an S-Plus model from around 1993.  It was about 1993 they came out with the round top.  B/V's started getting popular in 1994.  Willing to bet the tag on the side will indicate late 1992 to late 1993.

What would be a good price?

Depends on your location and the condition of the machine. For the seller, regardless of location, $600 is a good price. It's either a bit high or pretty high depending on where you're at. Compare it to similar machines for sale in your area and shop around or negotiate as you see fit. Finding a cheaper one that would need to be shipped is a deal killer. They're easily over $200 to ship

I'm in NY, I rarely find anything that's worth picking up for less then $700.

I am in the market for a slot (Double Diamond Deluxe) for my wife as it's her favorite game since before we were married.  It would be a nice addition to the "game room" which currently has a custom made Three Card Poker table with Shufflemaster ACE (plus a Let it Ride felt that can be swapped in), Ms. Pac-Man cocktail (original), MAME cabinet, and a Japanese Pachislo.

If the machine is in very good shape you're probably in the ballpark for prices in your area

Wow, those shufflers are hard to find outside of a casino environment.

I'd lean towards an early S+ as well.  If it is, it would be possible to add a side-mount bill validator with minimal hassle.  We'd have to see how the MPU board connects to the machine to be sure.

What shuffler? I don't see one in the picture. Just a card case, holder and chip locker

It's on the round bar seat, right off the table and to left of the pachislo machine.

Yeah...the ACE I picked up on Ebay a few months ago.  Some guy sold about 10 of them over the course of a few weeks.  By the time I bid on one if his last auctions, nobody was bidding at all.  Got it for $350, which is pretty good considering the others went for around $550 or so.  It's loaded with all the different Shuffle Master games....pretty cool.

So...what is my best bet on getting a DD Deluxe machine?  Ebay?  Dealer?  Obviously local sale would be nice but as I said, very few available around here.

Hey Frank...I actually exchanged emails with you today about this machine...LOL.

I am interested still, live out east on LI but work in Uniondale.  Would love more information about the machine.

the machine has to be a S+ model,  the S model DID NOT support any nudge type games.

This guy finally got me some better pics of the machine.  I have a lead on another but this one looks nice too...priced way too high though.

Title: Re: Identify this IGT model

Early model S+ for sure.
