Slot Machine Wont Accept Coins
I have a 1994 Double Diamonds slot machine. The paper money acceptor won't work. I got a bill stuck in it and had to take the bill acceptor out to get the money out and when I put it back, the light won't light up and it won't accept money. Is there a hand credit button inside that I can use instead of keep putting in money to get credits.
Igt slot machine won accept coins deposit charge Numerous advantages and i/o interface 10, when one or preferably relates to play session. Atlantic city, such that in the present invention. If a coin jams, press the coin return (on the front of the machin e). It should fall back into the tray. Insert another coin into the slot hoping it will dislodge the previous one. Sometimes one of the coin slots may have a coin tipped to the side that prevents the coin slot from moving. Push the tilted coin upright using a utility knife. Sometimes the coin is not the problem or the coin is bent or is still stubbornly clinging on.
Fuses are all good. It is set up with one coin per credit. The coin
and credit circuits are all tapped through the delay relay which has a
normally closed contact. This is getting power no problem (triggered
delay checked voltage across now open contact). From there power goes
to credit relay coil which has a hold contact the power also goes
through. When actuated manually it energizes and holds and also
energizes the the coin relay coil which similarly has a hold contact.
All getting power as according to schematic. The other branch that goes
to the credit button first has to go through a contacts on either the
Game Over Relay, or the Game Relay according to schematic.
Unfortunately there are no such relays with these labels. There are
however a Game Over INTERLOCK Relay and a Game Interlock Relay. These
are double coil relays that go between two different 'states'. Manually
swithing to either state or combination there of does not provide power
to the button. And it isn't clear which contacts are responsible in any
case. From there it goes to a contact on the credit unit zero. Which I
have no idea where that is. Must be on the credit scoring wheel in the
back. From there through the reset relay and back to traffo.
Interestingly manually activating the reset relay does not result in a
reset, just an energizaiton of the coil and it holds on (it gets
energized when I activate the coin relay manually). Grrr. It seems
something somewhere is stuck!
Recently one of our blog readers raised this question that there are some errors when buying a used slot machine. Though his query was related to his IGT Double Diamond model 96435800 reel slot machine which he had bought but here we are catering to some of the most common errors buyers face when they buy a real slot machine specially a refurbished ones. You can try to fix these errors by doing the following actions as given against each error. Also there are many superb videos online that teach you how to fix these errors.
EEPROM Device Error
EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) is user-modifiable read-only memory (ROM) that can be erased and reprogrammed (written to) repeatedly through the application of higher than normal electrical voltage. Unlike EPROM chips, EEPROMs do not need to be removed from the computer to be modified. However, an EEPROM chip has to be erased and reprogrammed in its entirety, not selectively. It also has a limited life – that is, the number of times it can be reprogrammed is limited to tens or hundreds of thousands of times. In an EEPROM that is frequently reprogrammed while the computer is in use, the life of the EEPROM can be an important design consideration.
A special form of EEPROM is flash memory, which uses normal PC voltages for erasure and reprogramming.

Here is the video how to fix this error
Error on door of slot machine
Many times when the display on the door indicates an error condition, open and close the door to reset the game and clear the error. Open the main door which clears the current game information and a “0” appears in the Coins Played window. Closing the door resets the game and the reels will spin and stop in their last valid position. The error code should clear and the digital display returns to normal game play.
Coin Operated Slot Machine
Error Code 12 Battery Voltage

To fix this error turn power off and then turn power on if the battery voltage has dropped below 2.9 V. Also replace ASAP due to possible RAM (Memory) corruption. Open / close door to clear and also Replace 3.6 V Lithium battery on CPU board.
Coin Errors
For coin errors see that comparitor is seated in all four acceptor clips and that acceptor does not have coin(s) jammed or the coin optics below comparitor is not blocked You can ensure toggle power switch is in activated position if installed.
Coin Out Tilt Hopper
Check for and clear any jammed coins in the coin out channel. Also see that the coins are not jammed behind hopper knife or see that the coin out optic sensor is not blocked by dust. If so you can replace hopper coin out optic.
Error in Extra Coin Out Hopper
To fix this see that the hopper motor brake functions properly. Check the coin wiper/ knife for jams and if so adjust them if necessary.
Hopper Empty Error
This is the most common error that new slot machine owners will have because the cash out button was pushed and the number of coins in the hopper is less than the total credits to be paid out. You can open the main door and check the hopper for coin level (your hopper will not dispense all of the coins), refill and close the main door. You may have to do this several times for all of the credits to be paid out.
Reel Tilt Errors
You will find that there are reel tilt errors and for this see that whether the designated reel is misaligned or malfunctioning. Also check if the reel is not unplugged. You can switch connectors from one reel to another, determine if error follows change of connectors. Try replacing reel assembly or optics if error stays with bad reel. Also clear Ram and see if it works again.
Error Codes and Fixes
During the process of clearing error codes, you may encounter multiple 6x series errors. Here are few common ones and their fixes
CMOS RAM Error
This means Bad (or cleared) CMOS RAM data You can Press test button 3 seconds Error code 61-1 should now be displayed. Now close door, turn and release reset key once. Same for game data reset.
Bad Game EPROM or Data EPROM Error
Check circuit board and replace Game EPROM. For Data EPROM error check circuit board and replace Reel EPROM
Bad EPROM Device or Bad EPROM Data or Game Type Mismatch
Press self test switch for 3 seconds If error will not clear replace EPROM Also if the processor could not read or write to the named chip Press test button for 3 seconds Error code clears from display.
Most of the errors can be resolved with little help but many need technical knowledge. Remember that if you are on a warranty or not the place or online site where you purchased a used slot machine is there to assist you with trouble shooting and repairs. They can guide you over the phone or send some mechanical and technical person to do so.
