Title: Question on the illuminated bill strip... Post by: eis_slots on May 12, 2010, 11:53:15 PM So i saw a post where Magicslots found videos on youtube on a guy named IGTMAN. In one of his videos of the Mummy machine it says he found a hidden switch that changes the pattern of the illuminated strip. Does anyone know how to do this? Here is the link:

This guy IGTMAN, either works for IGT or has the most extensive collection of slots on the planet...I figured he must be a member here... :30- Title: Re: Question on the illuminated bill strip...

Dan (tacman) And yes, I agree, he has many toys! :5- Title: Re: Question on the illuminated bill strip... Post by: eis_slots on May 13, 2010, 12:15:41 AM nice find magic! i hope someone knows how to do this!

He probably has it hooked up to a sensor like you use for sound-activated lights. They do the same thing with lights on parade floats. Lights are hooked up microphones.

Post by: ashyron on May 13, 2010, 03:27:05 AM It looks to me that he used the same idea that use on the IGT toppers, is there a circuit board in those toppers? Doing that would be a way to get attention to the machine, like the toppers do.
Title: Re: Question on the illuminated bill strip... Post by: knagl on May 13, 2010, 03:39:42 AM it says he found a hidden switch that changes the pattern of the illuminated strip. Does anyone know how to do this? He may have been fibbing a little bit. He knows how to program the EPROM chip that is in the controller box, and likely created another custom program (he already created one in the past that "slowed down" the speed of the segments lighting up). I agree with the others -- this looks very cool. Title: Re: Question on the illuminated bill strip... Post by: ashyron on May 13, 2010, 04:09:09 PM So IGTMAN is the one that created the slow version chip? I have one of them hidden in one of my cabinets for future use. I still actually prefer the regular speed unit.
Title: Re: Question on the illuminated bill strip... Post by: eis_slots on May 13, 2010, 04:23:40 PM I just sent igtman an email to see if he would let me know how he did this. I will let you know if and what I hear back guys.

RUDEN (Member formerly known in 1st NLG life as IGTMAN/JOHNNY G before many other aliases) IGTMAN (No he is not with IGT but did contribute to their stock value) JOHNNY G (did contribute here often and good info, but a small "glitch" in the Gold status ended it) Sometimes goes under Duane Stumpf (a well known southern gent who has a bridge named after him in the bayou) Everyone should send him a PM asking for the fix, if you go back to the original offerings there was a option for the slower speed chip from the manufacturer, if anyone is thinking about copying the chip, forget it, they are write protected, ROCKET may have an "in" with Sparkle, be careful though, he is a bit sensitive and takes poking fun the wrong way occasionally (Sparkle) and make sure you use spell check, he is a stickler for proper grammar! :79- Title: Re: Question on the illuminated bill strip...
