Whenever I see "Wild Cherry" themes, I always want a Shasta "Black Cherry" soda for some reason! :208-

Anyway, I picked this one up the other day and interestingly enough, I've never played one in a casino.  As many of you probably already know, the "Cherry" games have interesting ways of paying out.  "Wild Cherry" symbols count on the payline and also on the "position lines" which are above and below the middle payline.  I will be ordering the black "position line" reel glass later this week.  VERY unique theme with some VERY nice design and colors on the glass. 

Enjoy the photos and video!

Thanks,
Jason

Round top and Belly glass:

Are there any multimedia sounds available in the settings for this slot, or is like a 3x 4x 5x slot?

Depends on the chip.  The one that I have (latest version) does not unlock the preferred/MMLB Generic sounds.  The earlier version does, but according to Mr. Jim at Blue Ridge, the earlier version unlocks the sounds, but there is an issue with a random BAR or Blank lighting up for no reason...it was an issue that was fixed in the current version that I have, but for some reason IGT didn't unlock all of the sounds. 

Jason

Yeah I'm a sucker for them cherry themes too.........

Great looking machine!!!

THE triple double wild cherry is the best looking of the cherry machines i think.  good job jason. Its on my want to get list . i need it in  16" glass

16" with progressive, topper, brand new backlit strips and plays multimedia sounds with no issues!   :71-

I also love the fact that my progressive colors match the colors of my game.

So Rob, which SB version do you have in yours?  The SB100313 or SB100664?  I'm running the 64 in mine.  Do you not see the funky light thing I'm talking about in yours?  That's one nice machine you have there man.

Jason

Oh, I just noticed that yours is a 2CM...maybe that's the difference.

Jason

Just checked "the list" and I also see:

Triple Double Wild Cherry™ Spinning Reel
3-Reel, 1-Line, 3-Credit Multiplier
S2000 - Spinning Reel   7,500   
SB100313   
SB100664   
SB101353

I wonder if that SB101353 is even more up to date?

Jason

Where are you finding this list?

Just "Google" sb101353.

Jason

     perfect  MrBellMan    just what im looking for  great looking machine . love the progressive and topper  i need one

Beautiful Machine you have there Jason!  :3-

This is my FAVORITE and I am dying to get one! :184-
So hard to get machines up here in BFE!   :25-

Found out that the 1353 is a FL jurisdiction...probably close to impossible to get, and I honestly don't know if it's a different than the other two chips.  Hopefully some other owners of this theme can share experiences with the behavior of the earlier chip.  However it shakes out, my wife loves this game...bonus points for me!

Jason

When a slot machine chip has a certain jurisdiction, what exactly does that mean and why would one jurisdiction sb chip have different multimedia sounds than another?

My game uses the SB100312 base chip and I have never seen any issues with wrong lighting and such.

Rob

Ok
Thanks Rob.  So it looks like I'm going to have to order the other chip out of morbid curiosity.  Maybe it's only an issue with the 3 coin version.  More to come...

Jason

Nope! I have the 3 credit version as well (I also have a 3CR R/T glass) and never had an issue with it either...

Well, hmmm.  SG363 chips, VS011GX1 chip in yours Rob?

Yep!

Okie dokie!  I'll throw up another video next week once I get it installed.

Jason

Docs attached to show info about lighting issue that to most wouldn't be an issue, but have learned if you don't want your sac torn off here you need to have a plan, and SB100312 is 2 coin, 313 is the 3 coin and has Enhanced Sounds

Excellent post Blueridge!
That does speak of the lighting problems with those particular SB chips.  :89-
Good info to have... :3-

Hey Jason. A man of your stature should not have to put up with these lighting issue's  :8- :8- So i think you should pass on your TDWC game to ME. I can handle the little stuff.  :89- :89- :89- :89-

Good to know, but I have been playing the 2 and 3 coin versions of these chips for two years + now and can tell you I have never experienced any lighting issues.. Of course now that I say that, I will probably run into it shortly!   :96-

Now the old SB for Black Leather Wild thing... That bastard had issues! LOL!

This is why I am showing the proof as I was "Chastised" by a few members on that wild Thing  SB, it was fine when the newer one wasn't out but as soon as one person got it and showed it off then it was said (incognito) I had done several wrong, had to make it right (which I did) and was a dumb mother f'r, like I made the damn chip in the first place, this is why I made it clear in the very first email last week to an individual about this, but hey it is what it is, next week that kit will be forgot about

Uhhh yeah...this would suck.  Interesting that you've never seen this Rob.  Looks like you scored the million dollar SB man!

Oh btw...nice try PB!  :)

Thanks for the info too Jim, I always wear a cup.  ;)  you're the man Jim...no doubt dude! 

What a WILD tease! Surprised IGT missed that and released it! :200- :279-

CH :95-

I just got to thinking, maybe they tested the SB chip on a non-backlit slot machine! :103- :5- :96- :200- :25- :30- :279- :208-

CH :95-

You couldn't do much about the sound problem, but I generally remove the lights from the upper and lower sockets on single line games simply because they aren't needed and don't shut completely off. In this case it would alleviate much of the problem

Yep...thought the same thing with the lights.  Unless you get a Double or Triple WC symbol on the upper or lower position lines...they wouldn't light up. 

I'm also curious what the other chip will do with the unlocked sounds in terms of the symbol reactions.  Maybe Rob will chime in again, but the 7's don't light up or make any sounds on the first reel, second reel, third...progressively as they hit.  Not a big deal.

Jason

That's a good point Jason, I forgot about those paying off center. I'll have to see what mine does next week when I get it. All in all, I think I'd rather have enhanced sounds and faulty lighting than generic sounds and right lighting.

Doesn't do any good to guess, but something else I was wondering is if it DID NOT happen on one machine but DID on another and they both have the same SB chip, is there anything else that could control that behavior?  Different revision of MPU, version chips, game chips, motherboard, etc?  I guess where I was going is if the SB chip and firmware tech bulletin that Jim attached was released in 2004 (or whenever), and later IGT released a new MPU (or whatever) x months years later, could another updated pcb/chip control this or is it solely controlled by the game chip?

Just a thought to twist our minds.

Jason

Yoeddy,
Probably the only thing to do is get an SB chip like Rob's.  :89-

I'm really surprised IGT put that out - thanks for showing us how lousy that looks.  :3-
It probably WAS made for plain reels without reel lights or back-lit strips.

Well, despite the fact that mine has documented issues, they are small (so small that I have not noticed them in two years) compared to the WT Black Leather. With that said, I will keep mine as is. I prefer the enhanced sounds on this game.

Also having my kit in a gold cabinet with a gold topper makes it look that much better. It really is one of the better looking/playing three reel games out there IMHO.
Here is a picture of the game with the flash so you can see the cabinet. I just need a gold plated coin head...  ;-)

Rob

That is a good looking machine.  :3- :3-
Ford

Thanks Ford!

So did you see it happen then Rob?

Jason

Nope.

Again "so small that I have not noticed them in two years"...   :60- :60- :60-

Well guys, the new (older) version SB arrived today.  After playing around with it for about 30 minutes, I have yet to see any strange lighting issues.  Enhanced sounds are configurable now as well.  I still wonder if it was able to be fixed via some other means per an earlier post that I had made like another chip or board revision.  The reason I say this is because, if I were casino manager for a day, and IGT sent me "fixed" SB, but now locked out all of my custom sounds after I paid for a bunch of DSV00042's, I'd be calling BS on that...especially if that's what my customers prefer and that's why I spend the extra money for customized sounds.

Anyway, I'll post up another video later!

Thanks,
Jason

Video of the older SB chip is now up on my original post. 

Thanks,
Jason

Might be somewhat related but when I was in Casino de Montreal, any fancy theme that I played had no enhanced sounds, none. (Guess they didn't think that it would make you gamble more LOL).

Yeah, and my last visit to good 'ol Jackpot, Nevada, almost all of the S2000's that I played in Cactus Pete's and Barton's had DSV00042 (preferred) set on them...in a one-horse town like that!  I guess you never know.

Jason

When I was at Foxwoods in CT a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that
mostly all of the S2000's had "generic" sounds.
That was disappointing to hear really.
Then I heard one machine with "enhanced" sounds that some lady was
playing near me - it was just an DSV00042 simm though.
Nothing special...

What's really shocking to see is how many of the machines have such faded strips.
They look like junks really...

foxwoods suxxx they pulled out all there $5 wofs out....mgm kepy one $5 wof thats it..... you should of went to mohigans......

Great looking Machine,

Side Bar,
The Triple Double Wild Cherry machines in the Mountains of Co. all have the 0042 or Generic.
My understanding they are either 0042 or nothing.

I've been trying to get that kit for almost a year. You guys already have hit the Jack Pot.
Nice Job.
