General Instructions
for
Bally 6000 Slot Machines
If you are wondering if this is the same slot machine that you might find in your local
Casino, the answer is basically yes. I say basically in that we have gone to great lengths
to convert this wonderful Bally 60000 Pro Series Slot Machine into a machine that is
appropriate and legal for home use. We have modified the software to make it more
“User Friendly”. In many cases we have also changed the battery back up system to
compensate for the fact that these machines will probably not be on 24 hours a day as
they are in a Casino.
The next question many people ask is “Isn’t this machine illegal”? The answer basically
depends on where you live. In the states of Alaska, Arizona, Kentucky, Maine,
Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia
residents are permitted to own any slot machine for non-gambling purposes. In many
other states, age of the machine determines legality of home ownership for machines
that take in or pay out money. For these States we offer Free Play and convertible Free
Play machines. Most states have “better things to do with their time than to go around
checking the manufactured date on some little old lady’s piggy bank.“ I do not know
about all states, but the State of Michigan has NEVER prosecuted a homeowner for
simply having a slot machine that is less than 25 years of age.
However, they have and
will prosecute gambling regardless of the age of the machine.
In all Jurisdictions
(states) the use of an unlicenced slot machine for gambling purposes is strictly
prohibited.
OK now that we have the legal stuff out of the way, how do I make it work?
First you will need a sturdy base. A normal slot base is about 21" high by 18" deep by
24" wide and capable of supporting about 300 pounds. You can make your own or you
could purchase a custom Oak Cabinet, cost up to $800. In reality you will probably want
to do something in between. Just make sure the machine is securely attached to the
base and that the base is stable.
Unlock and open the door with the key supplied. Route the AC line cord out the hole in
the bottom toward the rear of the machine.
Mount the Slot machine securely to the stand via the mounting holes located in the base
of the machine.
Plug in the line cord into a switched 120 volt power strip. Turn on the power switch. Close
and lock the door. The machine can now be turned on or off via the switch on the power
strip.
