BIG BANG PIGGY BANKIN WMS 40X - DIFFERENT GAME VERSIONS?

[jdkmunch]

Buzz will know. 

Like Wayne says - Don't open the door unless you must.

Where ever your game came from, my Stampede Deluxe came from the same place.

I believe the "One Club" was a player's card in Vegas multiple properties used like 7-8 years ago.  It seems I got one from Circus Cirus and at one time or another - but it had multiple properties on it...

I don't know what I have.  Buzz hasn't come over yet to check it out. I just know I have Elvis cause I have seen him and he says something like "How you doin?" and then takes off.  Where ever your game came from, my Stampede Deluxe came from the same place.  Your tracking bar says the same thing mine does.  I'll have to search and see where the instructions are to find the checksum and other info.

Have Buzz check it out for us!
I would love to have Elvis on my machine. I have been playing for weeks with the previous set-up with no luck.

Buzz please let us know what we need !!

    Now there seems to be a lot of questions if the main board chips need to be changed. Stat said when he changed his Mermaid Gold, the lower chips changed the graphics. Now how I become a expert on Elvis I don't know. Hell I had that machine over a year and I've yet to see the King!!!   Robert you have a email

[Neonkiss]

Thanks Buzz,
I'll keep check it out tomorrow.
Too late tonight to do anything.

The ONE Club was used by Mirage, Ti etc before they were merged with MGM,

Ashyron - you have this setup?  With all the checksums i mean

OK I did some checking and I have the same numbers on my chips that Buzz mentioned in his post.

OK Here's the hit.  Now I have been trying to track Elvis and his hit frequency.  I have to say that this -  with all the time playing tripple bar hit is more rare. 


PS Anyone know an easy way in vista or 7 to shrink a photo?    It sucks I have to go in to photoshop and shrink size.  On a mac it is easy as 123.

On the old site we used to have a good post that gave direction on how to do this easily, I found this thread that at least mentions the proram, IRFANVIEW, which I have used for a long time. It is a great little program. STATFREAK may still have the text of the old instructions??? 

This should at least help you out for now:

Within Vista you can right click on a picture and choose to email it, which will pop up an option to compress the picture for emailing.
You will then have a email window up with your smaller attachment which you can then right click and save onto you hard drive under a different name (as you don't want to overwrite your orginal). Youi can then attach that to your post. Hacky but it works.

Infranview remains one of my favoriate graphic transition programs.

Irfanview is a great program for making simple changes to image files and has a fantastic batch function that, once properly set, can resize multiple images with just a few clicks. The reason that I did not re-post the instructions is that our new site automatically shrinks large images for display in posts. The reader has to click on the image to see it full sized. This saves bandwidth and helps keep the page load times reasonable for those with dial up service, which was the reason that we used to restrict image sizes.

I found my old instructions but they don't include using the batch process. I will create a new document and post it in a new thread.

[jdkmunch]

I was hoping for a quick way in the preview.   It's annoying to open a separate program just to shrink a photo.   On a mac you can open the image using the default image viewer and change its size and type.

[jay]

Stat,

Good point but not entirely true (just mostly). The Forum software will resize the inpost image for presentation purposes but it doesn't shrink the size of the file. If your file size is too large regardless of the picture size you can't easily post it without first bringing down the byte count.

True.

Elvis Pig' showed up when I hit the PURPLE 7, PURPLE 7 and RED 7. I'm thinking that certain hits trigger animations. I haven't hit the above combination again nor have I seen 'Elvis Pig' any other time.

[Neonkiss]

Nice going Dale 
I guess there is hope for me. I have been running this combo for a year now and have not seen the Elvis.. 
Elvis has left my machine

He might only show up on some of the 7's combinations.

Hey JDKMunch, were you able to exchange the Standard XU2 (90%) to the LV XU2 (92%)? Did you have to change to  the  6 and 8 jumpers?

[kenokarz]

what about doing a reel strip test on you machine to see if he shows up in the test mode ????

[dale]

I did the Reel Strip test (5 in bet window) but there was no Dot Box animation. What do I need to do to bring up the animations?

[kenokarz]

im not sure i did have a machine here , was not sure if it would work or not , i guess it did not work, so now you just need to keep playing and how you hit the combo needed to see elvis,  see you in a hundred yrs, or so

'Elvis Pig' visited me again. This time he showed up with Triple Bar with a pig, Wild, Triple Bar no pig. My wife witnessed it and now knows I am not crazy as I have been playing this game quite a bit. Actually, she probably thinks I am worse off then she thought, all this for a 3 second glimpse of 'Elvis Pig'.

... and the video? 

[dale]

All I had was my phone and I wasn't fast enough. Believe me I thought I was ready, He's a slippery one. Anybody that gets a video deserves a medal.

The trick is to simply have a video camera on a tripod running all the time, every time you play the machine. Dump the losing sessions and start over if you run out of memory/tape. When he finally shows up, you stop the camera and edit the video on your computer. That's how most of our regular slot video posters do it.

I believe that 'Elvis Pig' went zipping by in a tiny car. I hit a Red 7, Purple 7 and Red 7. It went by left to right, no warning. As the first two sevens came up I went to turn on my camcorder on my phone and he was gone before I hit record. Elvis does live!

[jdkmunch]

He is hard to catch!
