Hi All
 Hope this might be the right section to post this question; I got this Bally video poker machine about a year ago and have searched for some information but come up short.  What I think I have found is it is a Maverick model, made in the 90’s sometime and sat in a warehouse for years for some unknown reason before they started filtering out to the market.  There was a listing on E bay for replacement batteries some time back and had what information  I just explained, but that’s about all. Anybody know any more on these machines. My machine is in great shape, I  don’t think it has seen any casino action, but it wouldn’t hurt to start getting some information if something does need attention in the future.
Any help is appreciated .

It looks like a 5000 or 5500 video poker machine. I've never seen one but I know they made VP machines around the same time that the 5000 and 5500 reel slots were made. Thats about a far as I can get you though (I know thats not very far) but hopefully someone else will be able to jump in and help you with more info. I had a bally 5000 as my first slot but sold it a couple years ago. I'd guess it'll eat batteries like the slots did from that time frame.

Its a good looking machine for its age though.

I agree, but a picture of the inside and the CPU pulled from the machine would confirm.

Wow
  What a couple days at work I didn't get any time to take pics of my machine, but I did manage to search the site and I found this information. Pardon my attempt to insert quote and pics, it didn't work for me from one post to another. I will have to practice later.
   Here's what I found, M6050 posted similar request on 6/12/10 and add these pics.
This is exactly the same machine. Sounds like others are having trouble finding much information on these machines
   And a reply from AZGAMINGSLOTS, 6/5/12 was .... this is a bally maverick,  they were custom made back in the early 90s
what kind of a manual are you looking for?  most i have ever seen on these is a 30 page or so set up manual. -not too much help.
to get to /change options, clear off credits, open door and turn jackpot reset key. all options are in menu, too change some options requires
u-39 clear chip.

Anyone out their know more about these machine or histiory would sure help, and thanks again for the help  Thanks

A few years back I did see alot of these advertised for sale.
All of them were new and never installed in casinos. Kinda makes me believe they never passed approval for the casino floor.

Good luck and enjoy your machine. From the sounds of it you have it operable, you were just looking for information?

I tend to agree with Neon.  My memory, whats left of it,  recalls there was a large group of these Bally Video's sitting in storage (in the SouthWest U.S.) due to a "legal" issue.  (we're talking  10+ + yrs ago) 

If the machine looks "like new"  ...clean interior, exterior, nice chrome,  minimal  or no burn-in on the monitor....  it may have came from that  "group".   ...or not....

That's my  1c.  input.

its a bally maverick -about 1000 were manufactured around 1992 for a casino in new orleans that never opened due to corrupted politicians.
they sat in a warehouse (the machines -not the politicians) in the southwest until early 2000's then they were all dumped on the market.  brand spankin new with new ceronix, wells gardner or samsung monitors,  these 3-game poker machines go by the name: LGM, CAJUN, BALIGATOR, BAYOU, MAVERICK, MARDI GRAS, ETC,  available with hopper or ticket printer. they all use the same cpu locked in a metal box, the cpu looks the same, however hopper model uses different chips than ticket printer model.  they use a disposable static ram chip -backed up with internal lithium battery, use a 256k chip to clear the ram. when the ram corrupts (usually from internal static ram chip dying) the meters click and gibberish appears on screen. i had several dozen go through my shop, and was hired to set up a bunch of them for a shop in tempe.  most never gave me any problems, some corrupt rams, bad monitors and a few bad circuit breakers, but never had to scrap any. they were a nice trouble free machine -however the payout was horrible, and the max bet was 8 coin wtf?. they were equipped to have a side mount mars bill validator installed as well.

Thanks for the information on these machines. I was searching the internet and found some more interesting information on these machines. I tried to add a link to the  article, but was unsuccessful so I attached it in a pdf format. Not knowig that maybe I should have not mentioned the particular article and copied it into a PDF format to post. I am trying to modify this post and remove the attachment, not to get anyone in trouble. I found that LGM stands for Lousianna Gaming Management a subsidiary of International Gaming Management back then . What I didn't catch in these  posts are these V5000 V5500 or custom made VLT's (Video Lottery Terminal).
Again thanks everone for the information.
Hope this works I really bungled up this post.
