Help with Slingo Slot machine

[smileman83]

Hi all- new member and am looking forward to the learning process. I acquired a Slingo Slot machine and it came with a disk labeled IGT Vision/S2000 so I am assuming this game is a IGT  Vision series?? or S2000??? It has worked very well, but recenetly, the bill acceptor doesnt accept bills. The light are on, the bill goes in, but it doesnt accept them. I thought maybe it wants the older style bills, but even those dont work. Searching around, I removed the cask box and reseated and heard the sets of noises it makes when you close the case door, but still no luck.

I thought this would be a good learning experience to troubleshoot and perhaps at the same time update the validator to accept the new bills for the future.

Any advice or direction is appreciated. I can follow specific instructions well.-lol

Hi Bruce,
Welcome to the best slot site on earth
The machine is an S2000 with a separate computer/ monitor unit mounted in the top box, which makes it an S2000 Vision series. When you put in the bill does it go all the way in and then spit it out? I am not has knowledgeable as many members on this site, but did you look to see if maybe it had a bill jammed in the transport? I have had that happen before. I don't use coins or bill units anymore only because I found it inconvenient, but for the most part they are pretty reliable.I'm sure some of the more experienced members will jump in and give some advice, the people here are great, and I don't think there is a problem they can't solve
Happy Holidays,
Barry

The bill does go all the way in. I would love to know how to get away from the bill collector, but havent learned how to put credits on the machine without putting money in yet-lol
