If you have a Bally electro mechanical slot machine and it suddenly seems to die completely, then it may be the jackpotting timer that has tripped. This video shows how the hopper based payout mechanism works and how to reset the timer if it trips. For safety I recommend turning the power off to the machine completely before reaching in to press the reset button. It can also be accessed by sliding the hopper mechanism out.
hi thanks geat explanation,. i got an old Bally Circus , was stored for 30 years and now trying to set it back in motion but have forgotten how to remove the hopper out ? also any place to see other video to ensure proper maintenance or repair on such machine? thanks
I think you'll find that the cash staying in the hopper agitates the players ^_^
Cool
My friends have a bally 1203-e-21 slot machine 3 reel . Is there a way to change payout odds on the machine? Thank you
I've got a Bally 702, and there is no reset button on the hopper in my machine. but the hopper do not cash out. Is my hopper dead or is there things that i not know to do?
I got a Ball 777 machine. It paysoff at Orange, Bell, Bar. Don't know why. Any Idea?
I’v just Got a 702, and the hopper dont sems to run.. and if i look Down under it, i dont have that button. Do you know what could be wrong?
"There's a button. What the fuck is the button for?"
Thank you very much, this solved my problem on my Golden Gate 🙂
After I reset it won't stop paying out. Then it shuts off again. Even if I keep putting $ back in with it open. Hmmmmm
Hi Clive, I've recently bought a bally 742a which is in a pretty sorry state. The mains cable has been removed from it, and I cant find any info on how a new one would be connected. Any chance of a quick video of the wiring from the 3 fuse "box" to the mains cable at the rear of the cabinet so I can see how to attach one? Great video, Cheers
Thanks for the post Clive. It really helped me understand how hoppers work 🙂
THANK YOU!! The service manual and 2 professional service technicians couldn't point to this fairly easy solution. I have a Bally 973-A 1970 and your video was close enough to work great.
Thanks for that i willhave a look at what you said and for a reset buton will report shortly thanks
