So I had a guy bring a S+ today for repair as it had several issues. Well in taking apart the machine I found the top glass and belly glass were made out of plexiglass. I can say this is the first I have seen this, I know most on here have been doing this longer, but is this a common thing or no??  Scratch Head

Had the right IGT logo on it and I didnt catch it by looks till I started taking it apart. The name of the machine btw was Monsoon Madness.

Like I said was just kinda curious on this as I never have seen or heard of this before, forgive me if it's a dumb post.   Crazy

if it plexiglass it is a reproduction kit from my experience
I believe that IGT only likes glass to be used by their vendors for belly, reel and award glass.
I got taken by a dealer in ohio that sold a me a wild cherry reproduction kit for $300 in 2006.

its not in the IGT bible on here, I suspect it is a clone of another theme.
Can you give details on the theme.
award glass pictures and reel strip pictures if you have access to the machine still.

Yea I'll take pics of it when I go in the shop tomorrow. I can tell it's a clone of Haywire  from playing it. The machine I guess some how fell over and landed on it's top cap and man is it in bad shape needs a whole new top cap for it, this is the ruffest shape game I have had brought into me lol.

Monsoon Madness sounds like a Title wave clone.
IGT did not make Plexi Productions and I am pretty sure neither did the 'authorized" manufacturers of Sunkist nor Happ.
In the past several of us had some of the more rare kits repo-ed but they have all been on glass also. The place that was doing it has stopped due to copyright issues.

Sounds like a econo clone for sure..... I have heard of people putting a colored paper copy between two thin glass sheets just cause they could not get a particular theme otherwise.
It is also possible that someone did this for use on a cruise ship to lower weight. Glass is heavy - if you think about 120 machines it adds up.

Do you have the chip numbers ? any pictures.

Ok sorry it took so long but here are the pics. I also have a correction I was wrong the Plexiglass doesnt say IGT I thought it did. The Reel chip is # SS 4081 and game chip#  SP 1085. From what I was told its also a clone of Hurricane and they mainly were down south. The saying says "certain pays will go mad"

Do the paytable tests match the award glass?
I didn't know Mikohn used IGT SP chips...hmm...
IGT allowed Mikohn to throw strips/glass into their machines?
How did this ever happen?

Mikohn probably sold it as a retrofit kit, much like Sunkist Graphics does today.  It's a clone game.  Very cool graphics.

www.mikohn.com  no longer exists.
www.progressivegaming.net is redirected to IGT (who now own a majority of the assets).

Here are a couple of links on the topic.

http://www.slotshero.com/slots/machine/manufacturers/mikohn/
http://www.slotsguy.com/slots/manufacturers/mikohn/
http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Mikohn-Gaming-Corporation-Company-History.html
http://www.igamingbusiness.com/content/progressive-gaming-international-liquidised

I was unable to find a comprehensive list of games that Mikohn created.

True, the site doesn't exist today, but you can step back in time thanks to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.mikohn.com

It's not 100%, and you can click through some links on the site but not others, but you can browse parts of the old Mikohn site.   propeller
