How To Reset A Igt Slot Machine

Support VoyForums

This will reset the machine, and once you close the main slot machine door, you will be ready to resume play. IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE NOT TO TURN THE JACKPOT RESET KEY MULTIPLE TIMES!!! DOING SO MAY PLACE YOUR SLOT MACHINE INTO A TEST MODE AND WILL DELAY YOUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE PLAYING. The four digit number that starts with 4XXX or 8XXX is your reel chip number. From there you can check the IGT bible for the par sheet info and payback percentage. If your not sure where to find that e-mail me directly. You are 100% right, it is behind the power switch and the machine does have a white cabinet.

Hi,
I cannot find the switch test button on my IGT. It is generally near the power on/off button but not on my slot.
I need to find that switch to change my game kit.
Thank you.

 It should be on the back of the Power On/Off Switch casing, or on the Power Supply itself in the front. (probably left hand side)- check behind the power on/off switch first! >

 On a game change, clearing the 61 code that goes to a corrupt eprom code is frustrating. I am advised tha some game eproms require turning the reset key more than once to clear the bad eprom code. Mine comes up that way each time, not text book at all; but turning the reset key a given number of times takes the bad code away..my eproms are not corrupted even though it says so in the error code.
You can also try a ram clear, that usually fixes it; If you don't have a clear chip, carefully remove the CMOS Chip and ground out all the pins on a piece of metal; then reinstall it; ram should clear. Good luck!

65 is memory corruption.
This commonly occurs when you change your game chip between major series. Ie 731 to 1271 or vice versa.
Open the door turn the reset key. This puts it into the statistics mode. Then hold the reset button in for about 3 seconds. You should get the ding and your 61 should come back. Then proceed through your game change as per the instructions you have.

Recently one of our blog readers raised this question that there are some errors when buying a used slot machine. Though his query was related to his IGT Double Diamond model 96435800 reel slot machine which he had bought but here we are catering to some of the most common errors buyers face when they buy a real slot machine specially a refurbished ones. You can try to fix these errors by doing the following actions as given against each error. Also there are many superb videos online that teach you how to fix these errors.

EEPROM Device Error

EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) is user-modifiable read-only memory (ROM) that can be erased and reprogrammed (written to) repeatedly through the application of higher than normal electrical voltage. Unlike EPROM chips, EEPROMs do not need to be removed from the computer to be modified. However, an EEPROM chip has to be erased and reprogrammed in its entirety, not selectively. It also has a limited life – that is, the number of times it can be reprogrammed is limited to tens or hundreds of thousands of times. In an EEPROM that is frequently reprogrammed while the computer is in use, the life of the EEPROM can be an important design consideration.

How

A special form of EEPROM is flash memory, which uses normal PC voltages for erasure and reprogramming.

Here is the video how to fix this error

Error on door of slot machine

Many times when the display on the door indicates an error condition, open and close the door to reset the game and clear the error. Open the main door which clears the current game information and a “0” appears in the Coins Played window. Closing the door resets the game and the reels will spin and stop in their last valid position. The error code should clear and the digital display returns to normal game play.

Error Code 12 Battery Voltage

To fix this error turn power off and then turn power on if the battery voltage has dropped below 2.9 V. Also replace ASAP due to possible RAM (Memory) corruption. Open / close door to clear and also Replace 3.6 V Lithium battery on CPU board.

Coin Errors

For coin errors see that comparitor is seated in all four acceptor clips and that acceptor does not have coin(s) jammed or the coin optics below comparitor is not blocked You can ensure toggle power switch is in activated position if installed.

Coin Out Tilt Hopper

Check for and clear any jammed coins in the coin out channel. Also see that the coins are not jammed behind hopper knife or see that the coin out optic sensor is not blocked by dust. If so you can replace hopper coin out optic.

Error in Extra Coin Out Hopper

To fix this see that the hopper motor brake functions properly. Check the coin wiper/ knife for jams and if so adjust them if necessary.

Hopper Empty Error

Machines

This is the most common error that new slot machine owners will have because the cash out button was pushed and the number of coins in the hopper is less than the total credits to be paid out. You can open the main door and check the hopper for coin level (your hopper will not dispense all of the coins), refill and close the main door. You may have to do this several times for all of the credits to be paid out.

Reel Tilt Errors

You will find that there are reel tilt errors and for this see that whether the designated reel is misaligned or malfunctioning. Also check if the reel is not unplugged. You can switch connectors from one reel to another, determine if error follows change of connectors. Try replacing reel assembly or optics if error stays with bad reel. Also clear Ram and see if it works again.

Error Codes and Fixes

During the process of clearing error codes, you may encounter multiple 6x series errors. Here are few common ones and their fixes

CMOS RAM Error

This means Bad (or cleared) CMOS RAM data You can Press test button 3 seconds Error code 61-1 should now be displayed. Now close door, turn and release reset key once. Same for game data reset.
