Look out, "noob" alert!

[RobertBasil]

I just bought my wife an IGT S2000 slot machine today. It is our very first slot machine and we love it. It's called a Triple Seven Butterfly. The shop I bought it from showed me how to turn down the sound (thank God, the 10 setting shook the entire house!). I also noticed that there is other options but when I asked the guy he said that I would never need to use them but I want to learn more about the machine. Is there a list or any kind of digital manual that is available? I'll purchase one if I have too. Of course looking at the other posts here I have a buttload to learn. I really like the idea that I can change the game to other games with kits.

Thanks for any help and or direction you can provide on the "options" menu.

Also, I live in Phoenix. If any of you live in the area I'd love to stop by and check out others slots and if you want feel free to email me to stop and take a look at our new baby.

Hi Robert,

That's a dandy of a first machine you picked up!  Any photos or videos of your machine would be appreciated by all.  I've had my feelers out for a while trying to find the glass and reel strips for that one.  I'm a kit addict as some of the guys around here know very well.    Oh yeah, the IGT S2000 games can be changed...but more about that later as you familarize yourself with the forums and members out here.  Great group of folks and we all share the same excitement as you with our games and are willing to help you out as we can. 

Oh one other thing...familiarize yourself with the word "minty." 

Thanks,
Jason

Here is a photo of my wife and our cat (Tony) playing the new machine tonight. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=9329055&l=a3443d6cd3&id=732152641

So should I stay away from the options menu? I don't want to screw the game up. I was just wondering what I can change with it. I don't need a full manual as I have no clue about anything inside of the machine.

That's a real nice machine for a first machine.  Welcome to the site, Robert -- you've found the best resource for home ownership of slot machines, hands down.

There aren't a ton of settings you can mess with.  You can change the volume, you can enable or disable the enhanced sounds (assuming your machine has the add-on sound board and SIMM for your game) (...and if you have it, there's no reason you'd want to disable them), you can change the text on printed tickets (ie. you can have it say "Robert's Casino" on the printed tickets), and that's more or less it for settings you can change without a keychip (a special chip that allows you to do more advanced programming, including changing the available denominations, long-term payback percentage, etc.).

[RobertBasil]

Knagl,

Thanks for the info! What menu option do I check to see if I have the enhanced sounds? When the guy went into the options menu at the store there seemed to be a lot of them. I'll have to check out the menu tomorrow night.

I didn't even know I could personalize the tickets, very cool! I'll have to find out what kind of paper I need to use for the tickets but they had better say "Theresa's Casino" or I'll be in trouble with my wife since I bought the machine for her. ;-)

No worries bro, I understand the implications of having my personal email in the thread itself. I used to work for both Google and Microsoft (see my personal profile link below). I also used to own and run two of the biggest motorcycle forums in the world ( http://www.SportbikeWorld.com and http://www.PocketbikePlanet.com ).

But thanks for looking out, your a good moderator. :-)

Welcome to the forum. I saw that you went to The Ohio State University so I figured I should say hi. I went to Otterbein College and lived in Westerville for about 6 years before moving down here to northern Kentucky. And were in the same field, I'm a sql server DBA

You'll learn quickly that machines like to multiply, pretty soon you'll need a bigger house to store them all. I started with one pachislo but quickly picked up 4 american machines soon thereafter.

[RobertBasil]

Thank you to both Steve and Kevin for sending me the option menu settings!

Glad to help.  As far as the printer paper you need, I should ask first, is your printer enabled and working now?  (That is, when you press "cash out", does a ticket pop out?)

If so, then all you'll need is some replacement stacks of printer paper down the road.  You can post a "WTB" ("Want To Buy") ad in the classifieds section of the forum and I'm sure one of the vendors (or another member perhaps) who frequents the forum will be able to supply you with additional stacks of paper.

I have no idea if it even has a printer inside. I'll have to check tonight. My wife was so excited to get it home and play yesterday I didn't get a chance to give the machine a good "once over". I'll have to check tonight.

I saw the slot for the printer, just not sure if the actual printer is installed behind the slot. I would assume so, but I've been in trouble for assuming before. ;-)

As knagl asked you. When you hit the cash out does it print a ticket , coins or do you turn a key on R side?

The guy at the store said we turn a key on the right hand side to cash out. Havent tried hitting the cash out button yet. To be honest we only played with it for about an hour last night and haven't cashed out at all. I put $1,000 into it last night for my wife to play with. I'll have more time to dig into the options / features this weekend.

If you remove trim plate beside ticket printer. (lift up on bottom & pull out)
Pull ticket printer out about 2 inches.
Remove top glass (a little) by lifting up to clear tabs you can remove top glass & see if there is paper in printer.

Thanks! I'll try that this weekend.

[RobertBasil]

Well, it has a printer, can't remember the name, starts with an I. Now all I need to do is find paper for it.

[reho33]

Itihica, troublesome printers, but work well when they do. You will have to use the key chip to enable the printer and set the money limits to use it. Sounds like in the shop, he had it to do hand pays on all cashouts, which is not bad, but you lose what you built up.

Maybe printer was no good & he had it disabled.

Yes sir.  Make sure to expand the section where it says, "Your username on the site???" and enter in your username so they know who to give the "contributing member" badge to.  On behalf of Joey and the crew that runs this site, thanks.

It's possible, Ford, but more than likely he disabled it so that he wouldn't have to deal with customers calling him with jammed tickets, out of paper, etc.  A friend of mine runs a local store where he shops out machines and sells them, and he likes to keep them as simple as possible -- no ticket printers, no player tracking, no nothing.  His theory is that the fewer bells and whistles there are, the less there is to break when it gets to the customer's house.
