Title: IGT Twin Lightning Post by: KirkLasVegas on November 05, 2009, 12:42:25 AM I stumbled across one of these. anyone own one? it's a 5 reeler but pays BOTH ways left to right on reels 1/2/3 and right to left on reels 5/4/3.
Interesting machine...pictures to follow.... Kirk Title: Re: IGT Twin Lightning Post by: stayouttadabunker on November 05, 2009, 12:46:27 AM Is that one of those machines with the sideways-standing-up reel trays in the top box?
Title: Re: IGT Twin Lightning Post by: cp on November 05, 2009, 01:50:08 AM I beliieve the IGT S+ with the "horizontal" reels in the top box had a race car theme. A Las Vegas company on West Tropicana made a few of them... Neat machines ! Haven't seen one for several years.
I had a few Twin Thunders that were in a tall / round / "coffin top " S+ cabinet. Non Validated. Several years ago. I think they were a 5 "skinnny" reels game. I just don't remember if they were a L to R / cntr common / R to L pay. I sold one to a member that reads this board... maybe he can post a picture of it...if he stumbles across this posting.

Interesting game. It had a progressive too. Title: Re: IGT Twin Lightning Post by: StatFreak on November 05, 2009, 03:40:18 AM It sounds like a clone/rip-off of an older Bally EM-949 Twin Lightning.
Here is a picture from the Liberty-Belle Bally book.

A Las Vegas company on West Tropicana made a few of them... Neat machines ! Haven't seen one for several years. I think I still saw one of those at the Four Queens in downtown Las Vegas on my last trip -- I'll try to remember to look for it again on my upcoming trip. Title: Re: IGT Twin Lightning Post by: KirkLasVegas on November 08, 2009, 09:33:35 PM I was close..it's a IGT Twin Thunder. **STRANGE** machine. It's a S+ 5 reel, SIX coin! with two progressive meters. The 2 left hand reels are blue, the #3 reel is hald blue,half red and reels 4 and 5 are red. 3 coins at it pays left to right, 6 coins and it pays right to left also.
I got it running, has a few issues but fixable. It's a tall roundtop,painted royal blue. The two progressive meters are GLUED to the topbox glass.When I fire it up the top meter shows "$" and the lower one shows 0.00. Pictures to follow..... BTW.....got these out of the trash bin......any ideas on what to use them for? They do light up nice and bright..have a row of High Brightness Orange LED's in them...got 3 total.

Same as the Bally EM-949 above, including the six coin play. The only difference is the color scheme: the original Bally was orange and green. You can read the description from the picture that I posted if you expand it to maximum size. IGT isn't known for their originality. :60- |
