Tripler reel chip 8174

[Jpa20065]

I presently have a S+ machine with a SP731 game chip.  Have been changing games , 2 coin, with other games using only the reel chips and have not had any problems.

I recently purchased a Triple dollar, 2 coin, which shows as a type 0.  I went to install today and discovered that the reel chip is a 8174 and am getting code 68, bad data.

The game chip which came with it is SP654, type 23, which I understand is a nudge,   I do not want to have to deal with changing my bill validator.

1. If I change the game chip, will I have to reset the bill validator?
 2. Would it  just be easier to get a compatible reel chip that works with my existing SP731 game chip.?
2. Would it be a better / fun  game with the nudge chip?  Never saw this game as a nudge game!

SS8174 is a Triple Dollar with Mystery reel Action. That is why type 23. With out Mystery action a type 0 will work but you need a different reel chip. What glass kit do you have??? Does it say "Mystery Action" on the glass? It is a fun game and worth getting a set chip that you will need at some time anyway. PM Sent!
