Loosen IGT slot payout

[midcoastsurf]

Hi,

I have an IGT S+ slot machine in my home and it seems the payouts are far and inbetween. Is there an IC chip I could buy to make the winnings closer together? It seems we go hundreds of plays before we get anything near or over 10-15 tokens back.

Thanks!

The payout with an S-Plus is done in the program chip it would have to be replaced to get a higher payout. These chips are regulated and most don’t go past 93% payback. There are tournament chips that have a higher payback and run on a timer. Trying to get these chips would be the hard part plus you would need the key chips to set the game up.

Yes but what is the fun in that?

Not quite true.....

You have 2 chips. A game chip and a Reel chip.

The reel chip determines the paytable, reel strip order and payback percentage. It is not uncommon to get 98.5% payback chips.

If you indicate what game theme you have I can tell you whats available.
Or you can check out the IGT online game bible here.

The tournament chips are only available for certain themes. In this case you replace both the game and reel chip. The chips have 2 modes that are user selectable with the white self test button. You either have standard play or you have tournament play.

In the tourney mode you can play a set number of plays or a timed game. You use the jackpot reset key to reset the game and play again. In either case once your are in this mode all wins go to credits as a score. Highest score wins. I usually play in timed mode. I also have a IGT progressive that is behind the pay out sticker. In tournament mode this displays the time left.
I have three machines... and one of the tournament games is Wild Cherry. I have both Wild Cherry and Cartoon Wild Cherry - other than the glass and strips the games are clones of each other so I use the tournament chips and play both at the same time. In the casinos they have all the reset keys tied to a big relay switch to start people off at the same time. As this is timed it really doesn't matter if you start at the same second as the game ends when the time runs out. I do get two people to turn the reset keys at nearly the same time.

If you press your self test switch until the number 4 appears in the coin played window .. there will be 2 sets of numbers on the left side. Post those numbers since they can be looked up to tell you the payback percentage. Close the door and you machine will reset and be ready to play again.

Self test switch is the size of a pencil lead. It can be located to the left of the power switch or on the backside of the power switch box for machines made after 93.

Now you will know why .. you have a 87.507% payback. I have a 92.496%.

Ohio gaming,

Is a 92.4% the highest payout chip I can get for this machine? Would there be a noticeable difference? How much would the chip(s) cost?

Thanks,

Brad
