Trade Stimulator Reel Strip Question

Gentlemen,

This may be a really stupid question but I am going to ask anyway.....

Since a trade stimulator does not payout, does it make any difference how you position the reel strips when installing them.

It probably doesn't impact the answer but the machine involved is a Bally Baby. I have a friend who's Baby had a reel strip come off and I need to reattach it.

Thanks.

For the Bally Baby, the answer is no.

However, many trade stimulators dispense tokens and for them, the reel strips must be properly aligned so that the dispenser knows when to release a token.

On the Bally Baby it doesn't make a difference.
If you are putting reel strips on a trade stimulator that has a token payout it is VERY CRITICAL that the reel
strips are put on the reels in the same position as the original strips, otherwise tokens will drop when they
are not supposed to, and when there is winning combination, it might not drop a token.

Guys,

Thanks for confirming my suspicion....much appreciated.

I never thought about those stims that dispense tokens but it makes sense for those it would be absolutely critical just like on a slot.
