Title: Single coin s2000 game at a casino
Post by: hotrod777 on June 26, 2013, 06:39:36 PM
Question for some of the guys and gals who know PAR sheets on S2000's.

I visit a semi local casino (an hour away or so) maybe once a month for a change of pace from my "home" casino that is 8 mins away.  During the spring they were remodeling their high limit area and brought in all new AVP Slimlines, gone are the s2000's  I am morning the loss of my $2 Triple Gold Bars they had  :37-

Anyway, 1 machine seemed to make it out of the old high limit and onto the regular floor.  It is a single coin Triple Diamond that I'm almost positive was a $25 machine in the old high limit room.  The top award is 1000 coins and the reel strips are backlit white, not the normal TD sparkle.
The catch is that they made it a $1 machine now that it is on the regular floor.  During the my past 3 trips since March I have hit: TD-7-TD $900, TD-TD-TD $1000, and 7-TD-TD $900 all with investments of no more then $300.
Is there a specific High-Limit version of TD that this could be?  Kinda like how Sizzling 7's (1000 top award) is like 1 in 4096 for the top award instead of 1 in 120,000 (generalizing) on most other theme's jackpots?
I know that these 3 hits are "lucky" either way, but I'm thinking that the game might be a "mismatch" for the denomination they made it.  If it was still at $25, it would have cost me $7,500 to win $25k... much more spendy.

I'll be there again Sunday and plan to put my $300 budget in up front and just play that machine.  Betting only 1 credit does stretch the budget and this machine seems to hit mixed bars for 5 and mixed bars w/ TD for 15 often enough to keep you playing a long while.

Looking forward to hearing peoples thoughts  :89-

Machines seem to get hot for a bit after they clear them and if it's the same machine then they cleared it to change the denom

I respectfully disagree that machines are any more or less likely to be "hot" after a RAM clear, but that's a dead horse that has been beaten in many other threads.

Looking at the S+ game bible, there were a number of 1-coin S+ games made.  Typically they'd be set up for higher denominations only.

http://newlifegames.net/igtbible/IGT%201CM/Game%20Library%20-%20S-Plus.htm (http://newlifegames.net/igtbible/IGT%201CM/Game%20Library%20-%20S-Plus.htm)

The paytable for the S+ version of Triple Diamond matches what you've described for payouts:

http://newlifegames.net/igtbible/IGT%201CM/Game%20Library%20-%20S-Plus%20-%20Triple%20Diamond%20(1%20Coin%20Multiplier).htm (http://newlifegames.net/igtbible/IGT%201CM/Game%20Library%20-%20S-Plus%20-%20Triple%20Diamond%20(1%20Coin%20Multiplier).htm)

(Note that's a $5 game pictured on the glass -- divide the payouts by $5 to get the $1 payouts, which are as follows below.)

TD TD TD - Jackpot ($1,000 or $1,600 -- see below)
7  7  7 - $100
TB TB TB - $40
DB DB DB - $20
B  B  B - $10
Any Two TD - $10
Any Bar x3 - $5
Any One TD - $2

Jackpot: based on the S+ chips available, some versions had a 1,600 coin jackpot, and some had a 1,000 coin jackpot.  Based on what you've described, that machine has a top award of 1,000 coins, which gives it a payback range (again, based on the S+ available chips) of 93% to 97.5%, depending on what program they have installed.  If all three reel strips are identical in layout, then the odds of hitting the top award are 1 in 262,144.
