Once turned on the reels will spin slowly and the “Insert coin” light will light. You can then
either insert a bill onto the bill head or press the free play button if installed. If you press
the free play button It will sound like a coin has dropped and the “Spin” button will light. At
this point either pull the handle or push the “Spin” button. The machine will then play
exactly like a casino slot except it has no physical pay out. If you insert a dollar bill into
the bill head the machine will give you between 1 and 100 credits depending on how you
have it set up. (factory setting is 4 per dollar) You can then hit the bet button or the Max
Bet button. Enjoy!
Maintenance
Bally Pro Series slot machines are exceptionally reliable which makes them Ideal
for home use, but home use is quite different than Casino use. The most common
problem encountered with Bally Pro series slot machines used for home use is error code
81 , Low Battery. This is not due to any defect in the design of the machine, but from the
fact that it was designed to be on 24 hours a day. Certain accounting data, such as the
number of coins played, outcome of the last several games etc. are required to be saved
even if power is removed. Power is not normally off for more than a few minutes or days
at most in a casino, but in a home it is a different situation. Power is turned off for days,
weeks or even months. All this time the onboard battery has to supply power to the
“CMOS” that holds all the data. Frequently it dies and has to be replaced. This battery is
normally a 3.6v Lithium battery designed for a very long shelf life. (Normally about 7 to 9
years) Unfortunately it is somewhat expensive, about $10,has to be soldered in, and lasts
only about a year or two in home use. To remedy this we have come up with a special
battery kit that uses low cost AA alkaline batteries in place of the lithium Battery. Your
machine already has this modification. Replacing the batteries is fairly simple.
1.
Open Main door
2.
Turn off power and unplug the machine.
3.
Pull out the CPU tray located under the Reel Shelf.
4.
Remove the old batteries .
5.
Insert fresh Alkaline Batteries as indicated in the holder. Do not use rechargeable
batteries as the will not work.
6.
You will now have to do a “Hard Reset” to load the default data into the “CMOS”.
