Is there a way to correct this without replacing the reel? I'm a bit new to this so not confident in tearing the mech down.
Thanks,
Chris

However, all kinds of oddball combinations will pay out 3 coins! Here are sample sets of combinations paying out 3 coins. Middle row (---) shows the symbols on the payline , the symbols on the rows above and below the payline are also shown. The figure in brackets { } show which pay finger was activated and how many discs it penetrated...
Pl - Ch - Or
--- Ch - Or - Be {Ch / 1}
Pl - Ch - Pl
Ch - Ch - Le
--- Bar - Be - Or {Bar / 1}
Or - Ch - Pl
Ch - Or - Pl
--- Pl - Ch - Le {Or / 1}
Ch - Be - Or
Ch - Be - Le
--- Be - Ch - Pl {Be / 1}
Pl - Or - Or
Pl - Be - Pl
--- Ch - Or - Or {Ch / 2}
Bar - Pl - Be
Ch - Or - Le
--- Pl - Pl - Or {Pl / 2}
Ch - Be - Pl
. . . all other winning combinations (oranges, plums, and bells) always pay out correctly (10, 14, 18). But I can't see any rhyme nor reason for these 'mystery' cherry payouts. Frustrating, too, because the coin tube empties pretty quickly on a half-dollar slot!!
oldslotman wrote:Your problem most likely is the bottom payout finger which holds or releases the master slide which is the three coin pay. It is most likely rounded off on the end where it contacts the masterslide. This will cause the masterslide to slide by the payout finger and release the three coin payout. May not do it all the time. You should also check the spring on that payout finger and make sure it is being pull back into position to hold the slide back. Sometime that bottom finger can get hung up and not get back into position the hold the slide back.
