Some of you might laugh but it is worth it to me to find out.  What is a Vision slot? Thanks, jhk

A Vision is a slot machine manufactured by IGT. It is an S2000 platform. It is has spinning reels (3 or 5) like most machines, with the addition of a small LCD screen (7"??) installed in the upper section (top box) above the reels. The purpose of the screen is primarily for bonus games, however, some games display an image of the reels as they spin.

"jtouceda, Hello, I’m from Argentina, I come from the Pinball Word, these week I bought My two first slots, a Bally 1970s, and a IGT S+.
I’m sure in the future I will bought more slots."


Welcome jtouceda to NewLifeGames.Net!
  
I jump over to the Welcome Wagon Thread from  "NLG Users Repair Log's (Moderator: channelmaniac)" for you.

There are plenty of Bally and S+ guys on the site so you have found the
right place for any questions. And there are a quite few that play with Pinball
machines too.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hello,
A family friend has given me a Aristocrat esprit 5 reel machine. He said that it was broken and does not remember what it was doing wrong. I have joined this forum to try and collect some information about the machine to try and repair it.

Hello to the board,

I'm new to owning a slot but have wanted one for years. Finally found a fixer upper I could afford. I prefer that too buying restored anyway, I like to figure out how things work and feel that sense of acomplishment when you get it running again.

My machine is a 1982 Bally E-2240 or 41. It works quite well actually but has a few issues that I'm working out.

This site has already answered alot of my questions and figured I should join in case I need some expert advice and to contribute as I go along with the restoration.

Thanks

Welcome Tommy and VBJunkee. Remember there is no stupid question and do not be shy about adding to a thread

Since I have to make a first post I guess I'll just say hi.

[subsailor]

Hey All!!!
I'm a newb, and I just picked up a double blackjack 9" model at an auction. The game has the dreaded 61 code that won't reset. I ordered the reset chips, and hopefully that will fix the error. Other than that everything looks good.

Can I ask a dumb Question?
How do you remove the bill acceptor?
I'll be damned if I can figure it out!
I want to clean it while I wait for the chips to get here.

Thanks!!!!

If it don't fit force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway!
