Looks like a 17” I Game?

I cant find a single think about triple bonaza as an I game, I'm very interested in this machine.  Guy said it worked when he bought it at auction then it sat in his garage for 2 years and now doesnt work.

IGT in the early days of the iGame converted some of the stepper games into the iGame platform. That's one of them right there.  There are also some iGame sets that have multiple slot games.  You could easily repair that.  The monitor is probably bad on it.  It probably has a 3802 MPU maybe even a 3902 if you are lucky.

I'm guessing 3802 doesnt look like pics I've seen of 3900 series, could it be upgraded or would it be a oddball that's limited because of its early design?

If you were gonna upgrade the 3902 would be a direct replacement. The 044 would require a motherboard change, but be the better option

That is a 3902 board.  3802 boards didn't have slots for simm cards.

What ^^^^^ said.  If it has been sitting for 2 years, the battery probably needs to be replaced and the monitor is probably shot.  It is a good idea to just get an LCD replacement, less problems to deal with.
