Welcome to the site.

I talked to a friend and we believe it to be in the era of an IGT Fortune I or Fortune II.  If it does in fact have the Megabucks software in it, it may not run without being connected to the WAP link.  Software (and parts) for the Fortune series of machines are really difficult to find.  I don't mean to discourage you, but I would be very careful about putting any money into this machine -- it's likely going to be a money pit.

I have a quasi working Fortune 1 that I'm going to gut soon but I don't know if it would do you a whole lot of good since I don't have the game software that you need. Mine is a draw poker.
