Title: Mills reel alignment
Post by: modessitt on January 06, 2011, 02:47:01 AM
I know, I know - I didn't properly mark the positions before pulling apart the reels to clean and lube them properly, and now that they spin nicely, they don't payoff at the right spots.

I read somewhere here about lining up the holes for the Bonus for the innermost arm to pop thru, then loosen and line up the Bonus spots.  The only problem is that this particular Mills is a BONUS slot, meaning that it has 3 separate bonuses on the first will (a regular one, then one with a B and another with an O).  And this is assuming I'm lining up the proper hole.

Anyone got an PICTURES showing which holes on these reel blades are the payouts for one cherry, two cherries, 3 bells, etc?  I played until I won 2 nickels (one cherry), but I have 3 different cherries on the 1st reel (one with a U over it).  The 2nd and 3rd reel only have one Bonus, so if I can make sure I'm lining up the proper holes in the blades, I can get this damn thing lined up...

I figured it out.  The three Cherries on reel 1 had a spacing of 3 - 6- 4 with other fruit in between.  Once I figured that out, I was able to rotate the reel 1 disc until I had the 6 spacing figured out, then rotated the reel until that cherry was on the payline.  Once I had it consistently paying 2 for all of the cherries, I turned my attention to reel 2.  Reel 2 only has one orange, so it was a matter of setting up Reel 1 on an orange, then rotating reel 2 until the orange pay hole was lined up with the reel 1 pay hole.  Then I loosened and rotated Reel 2 until the orange was on the payline.

Everything is now working fine.

I was overthinking it.  Once I figured out the patterns, everything went pretty quick...
