PINK PANTHER SLOT HELP

[Dizzlec]

Hello, I have recently acquired a yamasa y-4-10 I do not know what those numbers mean its the model? Slot machine 3 reel pink panther. I have set the odds to 1 and 6 played 100 tokens through each honestly more, and have not noticed a payout difference at all. Neither hit a jackpot at all. Also can anyone explain what the two switches and the red button are for or do. Thanks happy gaming to all.

You have an arcade game called a pachislo.
Here's a link to an online manual for it...>>>

Thank you @Stayouttadabunker I have had that PDF file downloaded and saved. But I do not see the two little switches on my picture with the blue arrows anywhere in manual. Also I believe the machine is a yamasa? Thank you for your input!

Thank you for moving to correct topic. Also I have just one reel button that doesn't respond right away when pressing it. The other two work done. Is there a way to clean or get that reel button to work like new. Any cleaning tips? Or button lag tips? Thanks all

I have no idea.
You should take a large clear photo of the button from behind the button panel so we can try to help you.
I'm going to assume that it's just a momentary switch button, meaning that when you depress it, it should spring back.
Normally you can get in behind the panel, pull off the wires from the microswitch tabs (noting where they are before removing), then unscrewing the plastic nut that secures the button housing to the panel.
The whole button should come through the panel hole.
From there, you disassemble the cover, the button spring and clean all the parts with plain old Windex and some paper towels and Q-Tips, re-assemble the button back onto the button panel, push the wires back onto the correct tabs of the microswitch, and you should be good to go.

Update, I have isolated the one laggy button. I swapped it's position with another button and it's exactly the same. I blew some air over it checked the plug connector and wiring all looks well. What would be cause it to lag and couldmi just buy one brand new one anywhere? Thanks see pics above.

That's what they call a "Mxx Skill Stop" arcade button.
They come in as M23's, M25's and M28's....different sizes.
Pretty they're measured in millimeters (mm).

These don't have microswitches on them.... it's molded one-piece construction.
You can easily replace it with another one...they do not cost much.
I wouldn't even try to repair that.
You will need to save the wiring to re-solder it onto the new button tabs.
Here's an example of an M28 button...>>>

Thank you very much for the info and update. I apologize just wondering what would cause just 1 out of the three to just act up occasionally. Also the max skill stop buttons? Do they honestly stop the reels right when you push them is that why it's a max skill game thank you.

[Stayouttadabunker]

Spilled drinks usually cause buttons to stick.
These Pachislos are toys...novelties really...not real slot machines.
You'd wouldn't be able to stop the reels instantly at a casino, because of gambling commission regulations.
Real slots use something they call a "Random Number Generator".

On these pachislo machines if you don't push the 3 stop buttons the reels will stop by themselves within about 30 seconds. 

[Dizzlec]

Yes all three reels stop if you don't mess with them at all. The three buttons work the third is not literally sticky it just lays like you push it and sometimes it stops right on a dime when you push the button sometimes it stops one two three seconds after you push it. And thank you for the info. But when shopping a new button look for max skill game button mm sizing and save the wiring from my old button. I have a video to upload how could I upload videos to this?

[Stayouttadabunker]

I upload videos to youtube, then copy & paste the link to here.
