GETTING ACQUAINTEDIn 1980, after sixteen years of manufacturing Electro-Mechanical slots. Bally. withapproximately 90% of the domestic market. introduced the SERIES E- I 000. Thissecond generation of machines, a continuation of the earlier models, featured solidstate electronic circuitry that replaced the ageing electro-mechanical components.These microprocessor driven slots were popular with the casinos offering betterdependability and security. Three years later, a new revamped line, dubbed theSERIES E-2000, were brightened-up with new artwork, the replacement of the dull6-8 volt lights in the top sign by a fluorescent lamp and sound enhancements. Bothseries used essentially the same case, high capacity hopper and mechanism as theElectro-Mechanicals. The operation and maintenance of these components are thesame as their predecessors and are very dependable requiring a minimum amount ofservicing. Many operating functions ot the SERIES 2000, including reading the reeldisks, totalizing the coins played and controlling the coins payed from the hopper,are electronically controlled.The First 10-WayAdditional advantagesof the SERIES E werea simple alteration ofthe payout percentagebychangingthePersonality Prom andthe capability of morecomplex pays. Capitalizing on this latterfeature, the Model 1212was one of the firstmodels introduced inthe new line. It was a 5line game that paid leftto right, making it thefirst slot to pay 10different ways. Proud ofthis accomplishment,Bally featured theModel 1212 in a fullpage color ad thatappeared in an 1980issue of the NevadaMagazine,TUTORIALGetting Acquainted by Performingthe Eight Maintenance TestsTo gain a basic understanding of the electronic functionsand LED displays, it is advisable to read the introductorypages, 3,4 & 5 before beginning the series of tests thatbegin on page 6 and end on page (I8). Aiding in troubleshooting, pages 20-23 explain the malfunction codes and page26 has a chart of the malfunction codes that are displayed in theLED display.2
INTRODUCTION TO THE BALLY ELECTRONIC SLOTThis manual describes the operation of BALLY'S ELECTRONIC SLOTMACHINE. You will find, in comparing this machine with theelectromechanical version, that the same basic functions andtiming relationships exist*. In fact, the only visible difference to the player is the addition of a 6 digit LED (LightEmitting Diode)display**. This display, in addition to providing the function of InN METER, also performs several otheruseful functions.For example, a slot machine attendant,called to the machine by a player, will be able to determineby observing the code on the LED display, whether the machinehas detected a problem in its operation.If there is aproblem, the code will tell the attendant if it is a coin jam,empty hopper, or something more serious, requiring a technicianThe code displayed will also help the technician localize theproblem. The LED display also permits the reading of meterswithout entering the machine.For the sake of discussion, when referring to examples of theLED display, this manual describes the digit positions withinthe display as columns 1 thru 6, from left to right.2:34562:3456[ [QTIE[Examples of what might be observed in the LEDdisplays of the Series 1000 (small round windows) andthe Series 2000 (larger rectangular windows) . Theoperation of the test procedures are very similar inboth series. When preforming a test on the Series 1000use the same codes displayed as used on the Series2000, except in cases where variations are noted bythe addition of the small round window LED displays.Bally has taken advantage of the advanced technology of integrated circuits (IC's) to incorporate into the machinereliability, flexibility, as well as bookkeeping, security,and maintenance features which would have been impractical,if not impossible, a few years ago. A microprocessor-basedsystem was determined to be the most effective approach toachieve these desirable objectives. The MICROPROCESSOR (CPU)is an IC that performs the functions of the central processingunit of a computer. Thus, it controls the interpretation andexecution of instructions. These electrically coded instructions, called a PROGRA11, are stored in other IC's, calledMEMORY CHIPS. The CPU receives information in the form ofINPUTS, which tell the CPU the status of SNITCHES, REELS, ETC.This enables the CPU to determine which OUTPUTS (coilS, lamps,motors) should be on or off for the particular MODE of operation that the machine is in.(ACCEPTING COINS, READING REELS,DIS"ENSING COINS, DISPLAYING METERS, SELF-TESTING, ETC.)The CPU, MEHORY CHIPS, and other CONTROL LOGIC are located ona MICROPROCESSOR UNIT (MPU) BOARD.***See Reel Spin Time Variations on Page 24.An exception to this is a model which contains a ReplayRegister (Credi t leter) or Progressive ,Tac}:not Meter.3
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN POWER IS APPLIEDWhen power is applied, a brief self-test of vital functionsof the MPU board will-occur. During this self-test coins arelocked out.After completion of this self-test, the slotmachine will return to some point in its normal operation.This point is determined by what the machine was doing ,.;henpower was turned off.THE CENT:::R T'NO DECIMAL POINTS INDICATEA RESET (PON'ER OFF, STATIC DISCHARGE, ETC.)

(In this case 5 coins).Example:In this example 6 coins had beenplayed; 1000 coins had been paidout.fL[Jrnrnrnll[ EI. 2.The processor had detected a game malfunction prior topOIver being removed.NOTE:Examples of malfunction codes in this text arethose which correspond to the Bally Slot codes.

This test isprimarily used to localize a problem in the MPU BOARD.These particular problems are discussed in detail in"MPU BOARD TEST STATION OPERATORS GUIDE AND TEST PROCEDURES":FO-650-l for MPU Board #AS-2978-3FO-650-3 for MPU Board #AS-2978-5 or -6FO-650-11 for MPU Board #AS-2978-7Second, manual tests. All manual tests are initiated by uSingthe TEST button on the hopper control board. The number oftimes the TEST button is pressed determines which test will beperformed. The tests are numbered as follows:1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.NOTE:START OF NEW GAMECOIL AND LAMP (LOAD) TEST(See "CAUTION" on Page 7)SWITCH TESTHOPPER TESTREEL READER TESTPROGRAM TESTMETER DISPLAY TESTGAME FUNCTIONAL TESTThe Door Slvitch must be open to enter any manual test.Closing the door while in TEST MODE, (decimal points in display) terminates the test in progress, indexes the reels andcauses the display to read:ClOSing the door has noeffect if M7 is removed.On the Series 1000, closing the door while in theTEST MODE (decimal points in display) showsthis display,5
INITIAL SET-UP (MAINTENANCE TESTS)Performing the following procedure will assure the operatorthat the machine is operating properly before putting i tout on location. If any problem is encountered while testing the machine, the entire procedure should be repeated.This will assure the operator that some previously testedpart has not been affected while correcting another problem."STARTStep 1.ofNEW GAME"vii th the door open, turn the power swi tch ON.Near the front of the HOPPER unit is a printedcircuit board with two push button switches located at the top.

The six digit LEDdisplay is mounted on the front door at the right of the reelwindow.RESET SWITCHThe game Reset Switch is located on the Hopper Board at thetop right hand corner. Pushing this reset button often restartsthe machine after there has been a minor malfunction.7
At the end of each test cycle, the contents of the "LOADTEST lclETER" indicating the number of times this test hasbeen performed are displayed. The meter reading is displayedfor approxinately three Seconds in the following format:inrnrn luTLiillExample- 1'::!.: L2:L': This meter is incremented at the beginning of the test cycleand is not resettable.After all loads have been tested, the CPU beginsagain at step 1 (LED test), continuing until test isterminated by either pressing the TEST button or closingthe noor.Turning off power or pressing the RESET buttonwhile in this test causes the CPU to return to step 1(LED test) and continue from that point.
