Title: New slot owner and already hooked
Post by: gaugeguy on February 07, 2013, 11:24:03 PM
Well, I love slot machines... and i finally broke down and bought one instead of giving the local Indians all my money. I wish I would have done a little more research before I bought it but i don't think I got hosed either. I got it on ebay from Worldwide Gaming. Double Diamond S+ Slot. It was set up for 1$ coins and I had them switch it out for quarters. I was out the door with shipping for around $600.00. I know now that i spent to much but life is full of learning experiences. I'm already dreaming of other games to purchase down the road.....

 :238- I'm sure you will learn a lot here. You should fill in your profile so we know where your at. That way if you run into problems someone might be close to you.

Welcome to NLG.  I've learned there are some really great folks here and you never stop learning.  Be careful with your new machine, I started with one and now have 14 and am looking for number 15.  This hobby is very addicting and its a race to see what you run out of first, money, space or strength in your back to move them around.

Contrats on the new machine.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I've been reading up in the S+ forum on troubleshooting, error codes and such... I've already been scouring the internet for a good deal on a S2000 game  :47-
I kind of wish i had bought one to begin with. I love the jackpot music!

I wished you lived closer, would let a couple of S2000s go :)

FYI I have a nickle Double Diamond like yours setting in my office :)  Those are good machines and will play forever.

You've learned the World Wide Gaming lesson, that's a big step. Shop here or craiglist should the need arise in the future. Welcome to NLG and enjoy the ride! :89-

Do people regularly post machines to sell? Are there other reputable vendors here that give discounts off their web sites?

If there's something specific you'd like, post a wanted to buy in the classifieds and you'll get noticed. World Wide Gaming is notoriously expensive in my opinion

There is a post on here somewhere about putting a haywire chip in the Double Diamond machine, not sure where I saw it.  I bought the Haywire deluxe, Double Diamond and Double Diamond Deluxe all at the same time off a individual, thats what led me to this site because the Double Diamond had a 12 showing up on the front.  From there I got hooked.

Two of my favorite machines which may not be listed on my profile is the Super Spin Sizzling 7s, with that you get a forth bonus reel that can 5x, 10x, mystery reel nudge or haywire, great fun and great sound and the latest is the Tabasco 3 reel machine.  That plays cajun music while the reels spin, has some need sounds.  

Now I'm looking for a Game King, would love a Round Top, 17inch monitor, led buttons with the Game King Glass, the search continues.

Enjoy the hobby and enjoy the site.  I used to be hooked on Facebook keeping up with my friends etc... Now I come here instead.  Great people here and so so much to learn.

Welcome aboard.  I'm sure you will find plenty of machines to fill the spaces.

Thanks,

Welcome to the area's slot club.  Great machine you got for a starter.  Haha, I can already see you will likely have over 10 by the end of the year.  :-)
