I don't know who else has done these things so it may just be a re-post...BUT, if you don't like the extra "Clicking", "Clacking" noises while you play,
or have
other reasons for a quieter play time (kids, babies, wife, etc), here's what to do:
- First, disconnect that "clicky" meter. Simple! Just open the door and pull the plug connected to the meter at the right. (Unlike S2000 machines, S+ gives no error codes that need to be bypassed for this..at least mine didn't).
- Next, is that noisy Solenoid that sounds off each time a reel stops. UGh! (S2000 machines give the option for reel-stop sound or none, but my S+ has only the solenoid and it's annoying without the loud Casino environment to drown it out, lol) Just pull the plug from the solenoid near the pull-handle inside the cabinet on the right. You'll see it.
- And since you've pulled power to the solenoid, the arm won't work because it's locked without solenoid relief to pull. So... get a medium sized Zip-tie and "zip it" to close the solenoid in an 'active' position. (Basically, just put the Zip-tie around the open solenoid lever and zip it closed). Now the arm will work/ratchet
every pull, but will only work when it's supposed to. It's really just another 'Spin Reels' Button. The ratchet sound/action is only for the effect of old-school slot mechanics.
That's it! Now the only sounds you'll hear are from the speaker.
