Have the SP1311 and ST042 chip installed and the game works normally. Bill validator and all setting good. I can't figure out how to get to the tourney settings :103-. You are supposed to open door press self test switch and progress thru till you see a 5 to the left of the winner paid window. never happens :103- :103-. Need to set option 20 to 0n and then 21 thru 26...but can't get past normal self test pages. What an I doing wrong??? :37-

IGT s+ RWB 10 mhz board, no credits on machine and ram has been cleared. Normal game play works fine.

Press the self test once then press the bet 1 credit button till you get to the 5

Opened door pressed button once...winner paid displayed 0...pressed bet one credit and nothing changes :103-

First make sure you have 0 credits on the machine

Page 5 would be a reel strip test

Page 0 option 5 is your credit mode

You need to be in Page 0 option 20 to set up your tournament

This is what you should have
0  20  1

0  21  xxxx (start credits)

0  23  1

0  24  1

0  26  2

0  27  1

0  28  50

Then you move to 0  40 and set up your tournament time limits. I never used a time on mine, just played until the credits ran out

0  40  is your tournament time

0  41  is the break time

0  42  is the final tournament time

After all that is set up you exit out of the self test menus and close the door and hold down spin and turn the JP reset key to enter the tournament

As stated above, will not show page 0 option 5.   no 5 ever shows in the winner paid window

Ok, page 0 option 5 has nothing to do with tournament mode, so you have incorrect information regarding that part of the setup.  Brianzz procedure is the correct one, everything for tournament mode starts at page 0 option 20. Note that you can run the tournament mode in 3 modes:

1.  Credits only (play until credits run out) you set the initial credits to desired amount and the time limit to zero
2.  Time mode (play until time runs out) you set credits to zero and set the tiime llimit to the desired amount
3.  Credit and Time mode (play until one of the two end, whichever comes first) you set both initial credits and a time limit.

In time mode, you can select two periods, the start period (first half if you will), and halftime break, and then a final period.  Or you could just do one period and the set the other two to zero.

To get there, you press the reset button until you get the zero in the coins played window (probably need to press it twice).  You will get a zero in the coins played window and  a 2  on the winner paid window and either 0 or 1 on the credits window depending on your reel sound settings, then you TURN YOUR JACKPOT RESET KEY 'til it shows a 20 on the winner paid window and a 0 on the credits window then you press the spin reels button to turn the 0 to a 1, the turn the jackpot reset key again to go to the next page and so on to fill out all the necessary parameters for your tournament game as follows:

Tournament Option <0> [20]   This page is displayed only if the tournament option (game Type 14) is requested at the time the data chip is produced.  This option can be changed only if credits are not accumulated from a non-tournament game.  Enable {1} or disable {0} the tournament option.

Autobet Selection <0> [23]   This page is displayed only if the tournament option is enabled.  Enable {1} or disable {0} the autobet option.  If the autobet option is enabled, the game automatically wagers the maximum allowable bet at the beginning of each game.

Autospin Selection <0> [24]   This page is displayed only if the tournament option is enabled.  Enable {1} or disable {0} the autospin option.  If the autospin option is enabled, the game automatically spins the reels when the maximum bet is reached.

Start Time Limit <0> [40]   This page is displayed only if the tournament option is enabled.  Determines the initial amount of time given to the player for the period prior to the break.  Press the self test button to select the digit appearing in the Credits window that is being changed, and press the Spin Reels player witch to modify the digit value.  The maximum time limit is 9959 (99 minutes, 59 seconds).

Pause Time Limit <0> [41]   This page is displayed only if the tournament option is enabled.  Determines the amount of time the tournament pauses for the break period.  Press the self test button to select the digit in the Credits window that is being changed, and press the Spin Reels button to modify the digit value.  The maximum time limit is 9959 (99 minutes, 59 seconds).

End Time Limit <0> [42]   This page is displayed only if the tournament option is enabled.  Determines the amount of time given to the player for the final tournament period following the break.  Press the self test button to select the digit in the Credits window that is being changed, and press the Spin Reels button to modify the digit value.  The maximum time limit is 9959 (99 minutes, 59 seconds).


After all the options are set and option 20 is set to 1, tournament game play can be started  by simultaneously pressing the Spin Reels button and turning the jackpot reset key.

Ok that sounds better...I have the offical IGT paper stating how to do this.. It has a typo :25- :25- everything matches above but is sayes press the test switch till you get a 5 not a 2 like it should say :25-

8  beers..Late at night and the wrong instructions :103-  no wonder I could not get it to work

Thanks all will try this when I get home tonight and let you know how it goes

After "8 beers"...
I wouldn't be able to get anything to work either.... :96-

And 8 more after I gave up :97- :97- :97- :91- :91-

That guide was probably written for an earlier version of the tournament SP prom that lacked the sound control from the setup pages.

Thanks  Rick

That setup guide is attached to one of my posts down through there and it is wrong, I should have told you to ignore the first steps of that guide.

That's OK...I needed a reason to drink more beers last night :96- :96- :72- :72- and I am learning more and more each time I try something new with the help of you guys :131- :131-

OK new instructions work perfectly! Tournament mode success :3- :3-. Neat feature is auto bet and auto spin :89- :89- Machine will play all by itself :103- :103-. Now only if I could get a turn :96-. Thankfully I only gave it 500 credits to play with. Now I have to get it out of auto play mode  :25- :25-. I think I can get this one done :96-

Thank you all again K+ for all that helped  :3- :3- :3- :3- :3-

Woops forgot about that small detail when I told you to turn autobet and autospin on.. auto spin in option 24, just change it to 0. Auto bet makes it bet maximum coins no matter what button is pushed, spin or max bet. I leave that option on so I can just lean on the spin button

Fixed that after the first go round. Only been playing for 1 hour and my machine is now counting out my 10,000 coin RWB 7's jackpot :3- :3-. Damn I am glad i did not install that jackpot bell yet :60- :60- My wife would be killing me :50- :47- :47- Been counting for 15 minutes so far...I think the neighbors would have been  over soon thinking there is a fire or something :97- :97-

All is working well and I  am having fun :71- :71-

Thanks

You can change your credit add speed too.. option 28. I think 200 is the slowest and 0 would be instant add. I kept mine at 50 to keep everyone busy and I liked to hear "How much is that?" about 200 times while it was adding the credits up.

Yes, I need to set it up a little...at 40 right now...but damn it sounds good to hear it go that long for the first few times. :89- :89- Wife got home and played 3 turns and hit for 5000 coins  :3- :3- :3- She is hooked now..she might give face book a break with the machine paying this good :72- :72- :72- :72- Guess the next machine might get snuck in easier now :96- :96- :96-
