Hello all, had my Elvis Top 20 for just over a month now and seem to be having a few issues which I'm hoping the tech guys on here may

 

be able to answer for me.

 

Firstly after opening main front door and re-closing, machine decides to stop the right hand speaker working and only left one works.

 

I know it isn't a loose connection as I switch machine off, re-boot and everything is fine, but if I repeat the same action, the same

 

thing happens?

 

Any idea what is causing this?

 

Secondly I have put over 23 grand through it and not one jackpot yet.

 

Is this normal or are there settings inside that are preventing it from doing a jackpot?

 

I did hear a rumour that this can be done to £500 B3's, so wandering if this is the reason?

 

It's targeted at 92% and has been sitting at an average of 85% for about the last 10 grand, but still no big win.

 

Finally when un-installing a game and re-installing rainbow for example it loads up the boot bar, gets to 100% completed

 

and then freezes, sometimes at the 100% mark and sometimes the game is frozen once loaded up and the only solution

 

I am finding is to switch it off and install again?

 

Is my machine ok or am I having pc issues?

 

It's just I have a week warranty left and wandering if these problems are nothing, or whether to do something now before

 

it's too late.

 

All help would be greatly appreciated.

When I had my b3 i never got frozen installs. However why are you uninstalling and reinstalling all the time. You can just leave them all on and switch between them in the open door test mode area.
That may be why you're not getting a jp

To like what nick said leave games install this could be making the problem of why your not getting it jacked. The cycle on a 5reel band based unit can be as much as 65000 to 2 (pot feature and a full house of elvis) yes 65000 reel cycles depending on what programme s16/21 (the best) or B3. I was always told that from the start so don't hold me or nudge me to that

 

Your sound issue can be down to a lose connection playing about with looms screens or sound can knock the driver and then once rebooted the driver loads back up back to mono sound also happens on the touch screen. what have you got a rio or a triple 7 unit or T8 but I don't think my company would sell them out to the public yet..

It's in the rio cabinet.

 

Didn't think of that install idea.

 

So when I go to config and games then see all the games, how do I load up all of them and then switch games without disabling them?

 

Sorry, bit confused!

 

I take it you can't play the demos with door shut? It's just seen some videos where they put real money through on demo, but surely this

 

isn't possible unless door is shut?

You can play it in demo you will just have to set the door switch to door open or depending on the door switch push or pull the switch into door open mode you will how ever need to unscrew it from the cabnet and leave it just hanging inside the machine. Then you can lock the door and play

I have the opposite on mine. Have a rainbow riches and have had countless £500 pots. £400+£350 leps. Several silver pots. Just no fuill screen, 5 wells or 5 leps.... yet :)

 

It was on 92% so have toned it down to 90% and it is a bit slower. Was £2.5k up while on 92%. Collected to empty 5 times (£500 hopper) and never put any more back in. Going the other way now though.

I know it isn't a loose connection as I switch machine off, re-boot and everything is fine, but if I repeat the same action, the same

 

thing happens?

 

Any idea what is causing this?

 

Trapped or loose wire, dodgey speaker, bad connections where wires soldered to it, could be anything really, but I'd try testing the wires first, seeing as it seems to happen when you've had the door open.

 

Secondly I have put over 23 grand through it and not one jackpot yet.

 

Is this normal or are there settings inside that are preventing it from doing a jackpot? Totally normal, keep at it and you'll get there in the end.  You'll porbably find that once you get a JP, if will give a cple close together.

 

I did hear a rumour that this can be done to £500 B3's, so wandering if this is the reason? Never heard of it on a Rio, I thought it was only the more recent Astras that had it done to them, least that's what I heard, but not 100% on that.. If you're using the games you had off me, then it certainly doesn't apply as these all give JP's.

 

It's targeted at 92% and has been sitting at an average of 85% for about the last 10 grand, but still no big win. Patience is a virtue!

 

Finally when un-installing a game and re-installing rainbow for example it loads up the boot bar, gets to 100% completed

 

and then freezes, sometimes at the 100% mark and sometimes the game is frozen once loaded up and the only solution

 

I am finding is to switch it off and install again?

 

Is my machine ok or am I having pc issues? If it keeps freezing, it sounds like your HDD is on it's way out to me, had a similar problem, changed HDD and it never did it again.  They take a lot of stick with power being cut everytime you switch it off, it's a PC at the end of the day, and would you do the same to your home PC..... no, you shut it down properly, not just switch it off every time.

 

It's just I have a week warranty left and wandering if these problems are nothing, or whether to do something now before

 

it's too late.

 

All help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'm adding this here as well, as I can't be arsed quoting loads of posts..........

 

You can have all the bpaks loaded on the HDD at the same time, but on a Rio, you can only have ONE game actually installed at a time.  When you want to change to a different game, it gets installed over the previous one and you have to enable it after it's finished.  AFAIK Rios never had the software to be able to have a choice of games on a homescreen like 777's and 888's have.

 

When playing in demo mode the hopper is disabled so although it may give credits for coins entered (something which I haven't tried as there doesn't seem much point when pressing start gives you 25 quid credit) it won't pay any out, it just counts the bank down.

 

Do you have a link to where you've seen people using money in demo mode please?

I've had mine 4 years now and still havent had a full screen of anything, on whatever game I've got installed (all being played in cash mode) 

 

I have however had 5 discs on Elvis which gave £400, 5 on Cashino which gave £500, 5 Leps on RR, which only gave £250.

 

I've had much better wins with only 3 of a kind quite often £500 with 3 discs on both Elvis and Cashino.

 

Only ever had a full screen of RR once in the wild and I nearly choked, I also had a full screen of lions on Monkey Business about 30 mins before, so for once, went home VERY happy!

So basically then, if I want to change my Elvis Top 20 over to a demo game I am going to lose all the data it built up over £23,000?

 

I did notice on the accountancy when you go into detailed, all the information is there, however if I then load up another game on demo

 

and put Elvis back, all the data is gone.

 

What does this do to the machine, or does it lose it's memory altogether over the £23,000 and start again then?

 

Is there anything to prevent this in the Rio Cab?

It doesn't 'lose' all the money it's taken when you change a game over, it's all stored in the long term memory and the machine will stay on the same %age in your case the 85% you said it was on.

 

The short term though will change when another game is installed, this only applies to the game currently installed.

 

Over time the long term %age will level out and get back close to what it's set at (92%)

 

Playing games in demo, doesn't have any bearing on %ages as no money is used, demo is only there so that operators etc, can be easily shown what the machine is like, hence the option to spin the features in on every go.

That's great, appreciate that.

 

So basically no matter what I un-install or re-install it shouldn't affect Elvis doing a jackpot providing it's a demo I load?

 

It's just one member on here said by un-installing Elvis, loading up a demo and then putting game back is what is possibly causing the

 

jackpot from not dropping?

 

I take it that's rubbish? LOL

23 grand wow!

try looking at the meters and see what the short/long term percentage is.

How very true this is. 

 

My mother had 3 JP's in the same day on my machine (On Elvis as well, as it happens, I've got pics somewhere of it, the jammy sod!)

 

Fortunately though, she only uses my money ;)

Thank god for that!

 

Imagine if you let her have a go with real money from her purse and said 'hey have a go'

 

What you win you can keep, what you lose you lose!

 

Must admit I was tempted to get my brothers to have a go, but imagine if that happened!

 

You'd be well gutted. LOL

I totally agree, devastated wouldn't have covered it lol.

 

Plus it would also be illegal to let her use her own money!

 

I don't want the GC knocking at my door ;)

That was one of the 1st B3's out wasn't it?

 

I know my first go was on a party games slotto, my first ever £500 that day.

 

Tell you what, when we were all used to playing £15/£25 jackpots at the time I felt like I won the lottery when I watched it chuck £500 coins out!

 

I remember that day well!

Had a think about what to do but decided last week that I am going to sell it now.

 

All working fine now as gave it a good old bash this week and piled another £2000 through it, seems fine now.

 

Just waiting for GC permit to come through now, once I get that it will be free to leave me.

 

Did try and put on e-bay, but didn't realise I needed one, so it was pulled off.

 

Looking for a sensible figure, so if anyone fancies one make me an offer.

 

I can arrange delivery if necessary, but it will come at extra cost.
