What do I need to change to make the reels spins in different directions on my Bally 5000+?

Are you talking about the board with the two red lights and the two buttons?  I checked the board and was unable to locate the dip switch package marked ASJW3.  Is it under one of the piggy back boards?  Thanks Bob

I am not the best one to answer this question but here goes ...

Pull the MPU board out .. there should be two banks of dip switches (red base with white switches) towards the front of the board .. about 3 to 4 inches from the left. I think one closest to the front of the board is JW3.

I still can not find the dip switch panel.  I found a gray panel on the piggy back board marked SW2 which has numbers from 1 through 8.  The panel has small holes by each number with a wire running through it.  I don't see a way of moving or disconnecting the wire without cutting it.

I've got a 5000+ and all the manuals and I don't think this was an option for this vintage machine... Sorry

Reho. Was this on a 5000 plus unit where's the switch located. So if I put the crazy main chips on the board the reels will spin back and forth. Thanks

Is this available for all themes on the 6000 series or only certain ones? I changed switch 7 on DS2 from on to off and it didn't affect reel spin on my Monte Carlo.

I did it on my Bonus Frenzy & it worked. I did it when I did clear & set it up. I'll try it on another & see if it works

It was on 6000. I tried my Rapid Double Jackpot without clearing & it did not change. I think you have to set it & do a clear.

Sounds good, I've got a couple other programming things to do on it anyway so maybe I'll give that a try. Thanks for the info, I'll quit hijacking this thread now

And you know the Bally's are the only ones that do that. Haywire (I Think) is the only IGT game that has the crazy reels, not the mystery reel on other IGT games however.
