Game Maker Chipsets

[golflover]

I will be picking up a bartop gamemaker next month in my travels. I have looked at the list of Gamemaker games and SMI numbers that is posted on this great site. Is their away to tell how many slots the games take up. I found that the goldmine slots takes 2 game slots, but that was all I could find in searching this site. Was just wondering if there is a list I could print out. Thanks All!

Hello and welcome.... Games like GOLDMINE slots , POKER, BLACKJACK only use 1 chip.... therefore you can put 10 various chips on a board.   There are also dedicated games that will use 8 chips ( or so) and the machine will only be able to play that particular game.

Wow 8 chip slots.. I'll need a bigger game Do they  make daughter boards for the gamemaker to add chips? Or are you limted to just  the 10 chip slots on the main board/

[tollguy316]

No... What you can do is but another board and swap it out whenever you get tired of the one that is installed.  I have 2 boards with 10 games on each that I swap out occasionally.

I have a game maker 17". I have 25 games so far for mine. Each board will hold up to 10 games. I got more boards. After you set the games up on a board all you have to do is pull a board out and slide another one in.
Jim @ blueridge listed @ top of page can fix you up with games & you will need a clear chip to add games and set up board.

Never thought about an additional board setup. That would make it alot easier, flip in and flip out.  When you add the new board do you have to use the clear chip and re-calibrate the machine? Or do you just  remove, install and fire it up?

[FORDSBS]

After you set it up the 1st time all you do is shut machine down & pull a board out and put other board in and turn on and your ready to go.

Great!!!! I haven't even picked up the game yet and I have a growing wish list

With all the games you can play it's fun. Depends what base chip is in you can set up different 4 denominations

[golflover]

From what the current owner told me, it is muti- denomiational. has 10 games, all poker and one slot game, wizard of oddz. I am not sure which version of the main board is in it. Won't know that til I get it. It also has the JCM 200 DBV so i won't have to upgrade that.

[FORDSBS]

That one's ready to go. When you get it I'll help you what I can. I'm no expert like some guys on here but I'll help what I can.

Actually, it's 5 denominations.

OLD AGE. I stand corrected

[golflover]

I don;t have the game yet.. but am conting the days.. It is multi-denominational. Is there a particulair set of denominations you have to use, such as 1.00 5.00 10.00 20.00 50.00 or 1 cent 5 cent 10cent 25 cent 50 cent or can they be mixed 1 cent, 25 cent 1.00 5.00 10.00. just wondering and learning

Well I am a cheap player at the casino, that is just entertainment for me. At home with my "banks" I play for more. But I like the 5 cent 25 cent rate of play. I get moe to play with when banking my money in the machine. The 1 cent option will be good too, be 2000 credits for 20 bucks, not bad. betting the max it would be fun.  When i played the 25 cent   let it Ride machines at casino niagara I hit the Royal flush, wasn;t betting the max and only collected 1500.00 canadian.. Course after the exchange to American money i ended up with 1100.00

If your machine ends up having the 24 mains, they are both multi-denominational and tokenized. If you enable tokenization, you can select five denominations ranging from 1/100 of your base denomination to 100 times your base denomination.

So, you could set your base denomination (which is what one coin is worth) to $1, and select five denominations ranging from 1¢ to $100, or you could set the base (coin) denomination to $100, and select denominations from $1 to $10,000. The advantage of tokenization is that you can get up to 100 credits for one coin, even if those credits are worth $1 or more each. You can then play for high stakes without giving your bill validator a workout and without dropping in multitudes of coins.

If you end up with another multi-denominational set, then you'll be able to select denominations in a range of 1 to 100 times the base (coin) value that you set, and you'll probably want lower denominations so you don't have to feed piles of hundreds into the machine.
