Title: Bally E-1000 - What Meter? Post by: MarkInAz on July 10, 2009, 04:59:01 PM Hi fellow E-1000/2000 owners,
Take a look at the top jackpot on this award glass... I want to hook up a Jackpot Meter to this machines. Any ideas what the original jackpot equipment looked like or how it worked? Does any body have a photos of how they did it? This game is an 1202-E, from ~1980, one of the first electronic slots that Bally made. Thanks Title: Re: Bally E-1000 - What Meter? Post by: FOXSSLOTS1 on July 10, 2009, 06:56:37 PM you mean the progressive jackpot? there was a meter that would go behind this glass - but the meter was fed by an external feed.

Depending on whether the reels have 20 stops each, 25 stops, or something in-between, the odds of hitting the five sevens on the third payline are somewhere between 3.2 million and 9.77 million to one, so you probably wouldn't ever hit the progressive in your lifetime.
The outside of the machine and the strips look nice and clean. That machine was on my want list when I first started collecting EM slots. :91- Thanks for posting the picture. P.S. I just noticed that this is my 6000th post. Title: Re: Bally E-1000 - What Meter? Post by: MarkInAz on July 10, 2009, 09:31:16 PM Why thank you for the compliment StatFreak. It wasn't on my list though, but when I saw her, it was love at first spin. As for the odds, well, we all don't really have to worry about "hitting" the jackpot, it doesn't pay to win at your own casino now does it? :72-
Foxslot, are you saying there was a small meter behind the little decal window that now say "Progressive Meter" , like the modern progressive meters? Do you have that for sale or a photo of it. Title: Re: Bally E-1000 - What Meter? Post by: FOXSSLOTS1 on July 10, 2009, 09:40:07 PM there are meters that would go where the decal is - do not have any.
Title: Re: Bally E-1000 - What Meter? Post by: MarkInAz on July 10, 2009, 11:08:34 PM What can you tell us about the interface to the E-1000 MPU or would it be through the IO board? Do you have the manual for that?
Title: Re: Bally E-1000 - What Meter? Post by: FOXSSLOTS1 on July 10, 2009, 11:18:18 PM there was a board for the progressive - do not have any info on it - used to throw them away.
Title: Re: Bally E-1000 - What Meter? Post by: MarkInAz on July 11, 2009, 10:23:17 PM That's a shame. :8- I hate hearing those kinds of stories. Ever wonder how much some of that stuff would be worth now days. :148- Oh well. :60-
Title: Re: Bally E-1000 - What Meter? Post by: FOXSSLOTS1 on July 11, 2009, 10:28:18 PM those were not stand alone - there was a feed - so they really had no value.
