what does that plug do on the motherboard?

[staz]

i was just wondering what does that do when you plug your player tracking into that plug?? also does it only plug in one way only??? i just want to make sure i didnt plug it in backwards..... i got 1000s wires in that area and cant tell if it pluged in the right way.....im using the 2nd picture motherboard.... looks like there a little different between the 2 motherboards....

That Molex backplane header connection ( J6 DCS) can only accept a 10-pin female Molex housing one way.
You see the hole in the right side of the header housing?
That's for the latch clip on your Molex plug.

IF you get your plug in the other way, you will break the walls of the header housing.
Wanna borrow my wooden mallet?

okay now inleast i no i plugged it in the right way but whats it for? what else do you use the j6 dcs for? this is how i have it set up but  theres so many damm wires hahahaha

[staz]

Cloeset I've ever been to Mexico is when I went out to San Diego, circa 2001.
I was racing in a sailboat regatta   in the Pacific about a mile from a huge aircraft carrier!
Surprised they didn't shoot holes through our sails!  

Sooo...Staz! You get that PT hooked up yet? 
Let's see that puppy in action!

this is as far as i got with it......its  installed though.....

Does it make that music when it's on?   

[staz]

no it doesnt lol but it does have  speakers on each side of the lcd which is kinda weird never saw that at a casino.......

[staz]

does anyone on here have one of those attendant red cards the casinos use...... i wonder if you can acsess other stuff on the lcd with one of those cards.....

[knagl]

I've seen (and heard) the speakers at the casino.  Station Casinos in Las Vegas uses them to make a noise if your card is inserted incorrectly, and also a garbled male voice says, "Thank you for playing at Station Casinos, where you can win without winning!" when you remove your card.  (A reference to their old Jumbo Jackpot mystery progressive which doesn't exist anymore.)

As far as a "red card" -- I imagine that without the reader being attached to a back-office server that you're not going to get much out of it.  The displays are likely pretty dumb and rely on the back office server to tell them what different card numbers have access to.  It's not like there's something different about the attendant cards -- they're just plastic cards with mag stripes, just like every other player's club card.

What PTS is that?

What PTS is that? 

One of the versions of the IGT NexGen player tracking interfaces, I believe.

But I really wonder if someone got a hold of Casino Tech and see if they could
come up with something affordable we could have for home use?...>>>

[coorslight115]

I have a player tracking bracket that accepts the LCD screen of that size and the little speakers, if someone needs one. No stuff to go with it though.

[staz]

i wish someone on here would be able to figure out more stuff to do with those player trackers...... all mine do is accept the cards......lol

[cowboygames]

Someone did, within the last year anyway. I wouldn't have a clue how the topic was titled but someone had theirs programmed so they could add credits with their card and a couple button pushes. I remember reading it but couldn't tell you how it was titled or who did it, sorry
