Can someone explain what the difference is between the "regular"
versions of the slot games compared to the gk versions.
I see 9 reel in the manual and can't imagine that the games actually
have 9 reels. Any pics would be great too.

Thanks

I bet thats a "Typo" and they mean 9 LINE games. There are a few GK series games like a 3 reel Double Diamond that's just like the mechanical version, but its a nine LINE payout. I would suspect thats what they mean. At the G2E show I did see a few SEVEN reel machines at the Bally booth...weird (nice looking). The only other 9 reels I have ever seen are the "Nine Liners" like the "Cherrymaster" series of video machines.....

That's what I was thinking. Here is where I got the info from:

Yeah, I see that too. Who knows? 69 games in a GK now, anything is possible on a video from IGT. Maybe they have "Screen Shots" available on their site? Time marches on and Bally is nipping at IGT's ass. Since they lost the "Wheel Game" maybe they want to head for more virtual reels??

They really do mean 9-reels.  They're set-up like "cherry master" games like Kirk mentioned, or like "Super 8 Line" or "Super 8 Race" on the earlier Game King games.

For example, there is a 9-reel version of Cleopatra slots (traditionally a 5-reel video slot) available on the newer Game King platform.  I stumbled on it about a year ago looking through a new Game King on the casino floor to see what was in it.

9 "Video" reels     or     9 "plastic basket reels"?

Don't worry Stout, I have this board in my hands...I will post some videos for you soon.

9 Reel Mechanical machines are nothing new Eagle made them in the 90's, I have 3 of them, 9 individual reels, and WMS has a Video 9 reel game currently, Reel Rich Devils

One of my fav's ....the sound is addicting...but damn that game takes my money.

I searched YouTube with no luck! :185-

I wonder why they do that. It would
seem that 9 reels would be just as
much code as 5??????

I'm just unlucky...that's why I stay away from the casinos.  Haven't you ever read my signature at the bottom?  ...there's a lot of truth to that....   :25-

OK, Reel Rich Devil, well it is 15 Reels, independent, I meant the reels were independent, here is the WMS link

15 freaking RNG's flipping out all at once? :200-
That outta drive the microprocessor chip batty!  :5-
Actually, I was thinking in the line of the movie "Spinal Tap" -
I wanna build a machine that has 11 real reels...LOL

IGT had an 18 reel game once, ironically named 18 Reeler.. died a pretty quick death

Here are a few pics just for reference

Very nice pics Jim.

WOW!

Heck of a reel glass piece!  :131-

I would love to try that machine.
 :3-

Me too!
But just my luck, every stepper motor will be shot , with all loose reel baskets and
the bloody things wills be the noisiest machine you ever heard! LOL

No they are like new and quiet, that is why I kept them

Oh I agree with you...they are probably very quiet...
just not when me plays them!...LOL
 
Are you ever thinking of selling them???
Those big beasts are really out of this world! :127-
It would be a blast spinning 9 reel baskets at a time!

I will sell all 3 of them in a package, come get them

How many lines are there on those babies?

Save me one Blue!
Munch, we gotta go! I'll meet you next Tuesday! LOL
My subaru can't handle all 3...LOL

 :97- :97- :97-

I'll be there!

LOL...Blueridge watch out! I've been saving some money to visit ya!  :136-

Damn, I'll be a Sad Lad On The Mile And Cold Hippy In North Entirely if you guys beat me to Jim's place this year.  I imagine Jim's place to slot lovers would be like Candyland is to kids.  I bet Jim could beat Chicagoland for his variety of machines and parts, easily.

Let's see if anyone caught that...

Thanks,
Wayne

Well,  When all you guys go there to have fun do just a little work for me while you are there-Move about 275 machines where you can get to the ones I want--- :96-.  Thanks Jim and all others for the help.  I think he has hand-trucks/dollies and gloves-- :208-.  If that does not work you guys could carry them out over ALL the machines coffin-style for me- :103-.   Merry X-Mas-  , B.   :235-.

LOL...I have a bad back...I'll leave it all up to Munch....LOL

Down to one man now- :25- :103-.  That's not gonna work-Looks like Plan "Z" now---- :25- :96-.  B.

A "real" 8-Liner 8 liner.

Oh yea Stout, I could just see you now, disassembling a 9 reel machine to fit in a Subaru. You will need a fullarau just for the reels LOL.

Piece of cake, piece of cake...LOL

Oh yeah, I forgot that you are a pro at this now, he he.

Neat, K+ for the pics, Jim.
