WTS ~ Bettor TITO has arrived !!!

[slotsx2]

The TITO in & out works fine on my S9000, Great Job! but my M9000 won't take a ticket from my S9000 or my M9000......... Any suggestions? The menus are different on the M9000 & the S9000. Do the 2 require different settings? If so, what are they?

Thanks,
JR

Great...glad to hear it is working.  The setup menu can have slight variations depending on the year of manufacture of the OS (operating system) flash card so likely there is a single setting we are missing here.  Please PM me the following information and we will go from there.

1)  Phone number and best times of day to reach you....give me a range of time if you can.

2)  OS year of manufacture on both machines, the one that is working and the one that is not.

I just wanted to drop a quick note to all. I visited Jim yesterday and even though he was not feeling 100% he took the time fix a few problems I was having. I also had him install TITO devices in 4 machines for me. K+ for his outstanding service, attention to detail  and work ethic.

While we (he) was setting up the TITO in my S2000 he noticed an error in the setup instructions so I wanted to pass it along

Under 3.4 Communications Options the instructions tell you to press (Spin) (Cash Out) (Cash Out) (Cash Out) the correct sequence is (Spin) (Spin) (Spin) (Cash Out) 

hope this helps

Jim,

I did not recieve that email?   I know Gary said he did recieve a new manual from you.

I recieved 2 emails from you, the origional one, and a revised one..  So I'm assuming this is a 3rd revision?

Sorry, I'm just trying to keep all my info organized if/when I need to work on the machine I want to make sure I have the current/correct info!

Thanks!

Here is the latset manual, 10/25/2012

[staz]

why am i getting a lot of misreads lately on my wba13 with inserting the tickets??? there for $1000 and i get various amounts at times? but on my mei i never get any misreads

Likely it needs calibrated, cleaned, or the head needs replaced.

[staz]

will def calibrate it as soon as i can get calabrated paper.....

[staz]

i tell ya from having both bill validaters a wba13 and a mei..... i think the mei out beats wba's by a long shot....

[slotsx2]

I put in $12,000 in tickets in my JCM validator and ended up with $54,104.40 in the machine, a Bally Alpha S9000.

For sure the Mar's MEI you have in your machine Staz is a superior BV when comparing to any WBA.  Those are super fast and you don't dare get your bill within and inch of the bill entry area because it will suck the bill right out of your hand before you have a chance to change your mind about it   .

But you can't put a JCM WBA 12/13 next to the current Mar's product and say that one company did a bad job and the other company did good.  They are from different generations of design and production and to do a fair comparison you have to put it next to JCM's current product the "UBA".  These are the two current competing products.

The older WBA's (12/13) are going to be quirky given their age.  Slow running motors, belts that should be replaced, and the need for calibration or replacement heads all together.  All that just hinders a proper read when you insert a bill or ticket.  On the positive side...at least you can update the software on the WBA's.  And if you are getting incorrect readings when inserting a ticket, since you know it is printing the ticket with the correct number on it, then you have to start looking at your BV.

Hi Better Slots,

I have an IGT S2000 Double 3X4X5X.  Will this unit work in this machine.  It sure sounds great.  Don't have to leave cash lying around.

Thanks for your reply,

Rick

[Bettor Slots]

Yes it will.  PM sent.

[TheChad]

Okay, so my TITO is working fantastic!

However, I wanted to note because it was discussed earlier in the post that you COULD copy tickets..

I have tried doing this and have been unsucessfull.   I scanned the origional tickets @ 600 DPI, and printed them on premium Inkjet paper.  I then cut them out to the EXACT same size as the orgional ticket.

My paper obviously isn't glossy like the thermal paper, but I didn't think that would matter as it was just going to read the barcode!

Anyway, the ticket goes in, the machine says "Validating ticket" the BV clicks and sputters, then it spits the ticket back out.

I don't believe this to be a problem with the TITO device itself, but rather the BV.   Maybe the paper is too thick?  Maybe it not being glossy is affecting it?

Anyway, the tickets them selves are reusable,  but scanning them and printing them doesn't seem to actually work..

Maybe someone else will figure out a way?  But as of right now I can not get coppied tickets to work!

-TheChad

I have not noticed that tickets being glossy and I have 2 different paper sources
(or at least paper that is older and newer)
I can say this also that the bar code format used is not error proof
I had a ticket that was 16xxx.xx in value  the BV read it as 86xxx .xx and it was redeemed for that amount.
that is why in a real world setting a casino they use a database and most likely enhanced validation.

Also you have to remember that the various programmers should design the BV to reject a copy of a ticket (just in case some one tries to double or triple a cash out)
Justy because you print a cash out ticket does not mean you have to redeem it that day
which gives the cheats time to duplicate a ticket and try to cash it in more than one time
machine does not care if the casino logo is on the back of the ticket only the cashiers cage would notice it missing.

 Maybe a toner or ink jet produced ticket (copied) looks different at Infrared or Ultraviolet spectrum that is probably used in the BV
 
I do know this the older ticket stock I use gives me problems compared to the newer ticket stock.

note I have not had my BV calibrated or updated since 2007 so that could be a factor as well

[TheChad]

All thermal paper is glossy..

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the paper it self not the barcode.

I can say that----------It does.  Word-up--  --about the paper.  It does have to do with the paper,thickiness/ply,transperancy -etc. --Not regular paper in them in my opinion. Take a sheet and micrometer out, scan it, duplicate it and by the time you are done with that process go by a regular case of ticket paper!.  The bv's gotta see it.
