WMS Game Type? Tripple golden Cherries?

[freaktech]

Hi

someone offered me this machine at the 2nd market.

Anyone know how much they are?

what is the exact type of this machine?
where could i find a manual?

this is in europe and uses only older euro bills, so i am also interested in the type of bill acceptor and if there is a option for a external credit switch.

thanks

It is a WMS BB1 3 reel stepper slot.  The price is very dependent on where you are located, but here in the united states, a fair price for that type of machine is between 500 to 700 USD.  It is a 1st generation bluebird machine, so it is rarely sold anymore here as the 2nd and 3rd gen is what is still out in the open market here.  You can install a TITO (Ticket In/Ticket Out) device in order for the machine to print and accept slot tickets and some have the option of putting a set amount of credits on the machine by pressing the service button (if you want this option, make sure you buy a TITO board with that option enabled).  You will need a clear card for the machine to set it up for TITO.

That machine also appears to have coin in equipment installed (which is kind of rare in these parts).  But I don't see a ticket printer, but even without a ticket printer, you can still install the TITO board with the free credit option.  You would have to get a picture of the insides to verify coin operation.

hi

the Euro 1,- means ( i think so) 
1 Credit = 1 Euro

but only bills
and we got new euro bills a view years ago, and this machine uses only the older ones
not all new ones.

so i see the problem for my game room  and questions?

is it fun?
is it handle able only with some bills and no way to get credits remote on it?
it looks very complicate to get here parts and all the secure stuff, reset  TI/TO ?
any link to this system and what i would need to install it?=

the price would be about 900,- here

thank you tom

The clear card and TITO are easy to get, under $60 for both usually.  You may be able to upgrade the validator to accept the newer euro notes, but it depends on the validator you have installed in the machine.  A picture of the inside would tell us more of what is in the machine.  You may be able to use coins to play the game.  If you clear the game, you can assign any value you want to the coin that gets inserted (say you use a 1 euro coin, you can tell the machine that each coin is worth 100 euros for example), and then have each credit worth 1 cent.
