IGT tOURNAMENT MODE

[slots4home]

 i have set up a few machines in tournament mode with the proper game and reel chips years ago and today I need to set one up and cannot. I have the old directions but cannot get to the # 9 mode.
Does anyone remember how to do this?
Thanks

Foster,
Thanks for the information, but I forgot to mention that I need this for a splus game where you use 9 - 13 options and I cannot get to the # 9 option.

Which SP chip?

[slots4home]

Sp 557 type 14

[rickhunter]

Man that's an old SP game prom.  Do you have zero credits on the machine and option 9 only shows up if you have a tournament Reel prom installed.  Did you double check that?

[slots4home]

Rick,
Their are no credits on the machine and I do have the correct reel prom and I have tried a newer type 14 game chip but it back to the beginning when you get past [8].

I know I am forgetting something.

[jay]

[9]s are typically for the progressive amounts, unless you are in tournament mode. With the newer game chips you need a Set90 to set these values.

[Slottex]

THESE WERE SOME NOTES I HAD NOT SURE WHAT SP !

SET UP FOR TOURNAMENT
PUSH SELF TEST SWITCH TO 6
SCROLL TO #9 WITH KEY
CHANGE TO 9-1 (TOURNAMENT MODE)
KEY TO #10 AND LEAVE AT 10-0 (CREDIT MODE FOR TOURNAMENT)
KEY TO #11 SET TIME FOR DESIRED MINUTES
KEY TO #12 SET AT 12-1 (AUTOBET MODE)
KEY TO #13 LEAVE AT 13-0 (AUTO SPIN MODE)

CLOSE DOOR - HIT SPIN THEN KEY NOW YOU ARE READY !

Thank you so much for the information

This may be a stupid question, but I know nothing of tournament chips.  Which chip does the tournament chip replace... the game or reel on a S+?  Can tournament chips be used on any them or are they theme specific?  Lastly, does anyone have any tournament chips for sale and if so, how much?  Thanks!!!

The SS chip is replaced.

Here is a link to the list of chips.

[Foster]

There are 2 chips for the S+ needed for tournament mode
SP chip like 1253, 1309, etc
a ST chip which has the regular SS chip data, as well as an a tournament mode data.
Basically 2 different sets of virtual reel strips.
The normal mode has the normal payback percentage and the tournament mode has a payback from say 500% to 2000%.

The SP chip has the extra program to operate the machine in tournament mode.
like time limits, credits, timers etc.

WHINKLE, FIRST IS YOU MACHINE AN IGT AND SECOND YOU NEED TO CHECK THE LIST AND SEE IF THERE IS A TOURNAMENT MODE CHIP FOR YOUR GAME. THEN POST A WANT TO BUY IF YOU FIND THE CHIP NUMBERS FOR YOUR GAME! HOPE THIS ANSWERS PART OF YOUR QUESTION.

[whinkle]

Yes, it answers my question... thanks.  I have an IGT S+ with a 2-coin double diamond theme.  What would be a good SP & ST Chip to have?

[stayouttadabunker]

I think ST0012 would be one that fits your game.
It pays out a whopping 500.137%!!! 
An equivalent SS chip is the SS3443.
Check your board and see if that's what you have.
I am not sure about the SP chip...I would go with Foster and get a SP1309.
Imagine if this tournament chip was in a Double Diamond Haywire game?

[Foster]

SP1309 is for a 16Mhz board it came in the 16Mhz board I bought.
 
I think 1311 is the 10Mhz board version.

[Slottex]

WHINKLE,I ONLY HAVE THE ST-14  FOR THE 3 COIN DOUBLE DIAMOND.

SORRY

[idesign]

I have an ST-12.  PM me if you want it.

[idesign]

Also, do you have a SP chip that supports tournament mode?  Like a SP1253?

[whinkle]

Not yet I don't.  I will need to get one of those also.  I have to check again to see if I have a 10 or 16 board.

[StatFreak]

If you have a 10MHz board then the choices are SP1253 or SP1311. Trust me and get the SP1311. I have both. The SP1253 is very slow and uneven in paying out credits; the SP1311 is fast and smooth.

[whinkle]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I have the 10mz board because it has the volume knob... right?

[stayouttadabunker]

You're right whinkle!
The 10MHz boards have them.
The 16MHz board doesnt have one.

[coorslight115]

Is Sp1311 still the best way to go for Tournament mode 14? I have this chip but is there any better one for a 10Mhz board. Just want to make sure I  have the best one.
