Jennings Standard Chief Tic-Tac_Toe

[Arjan61]

I maybe wrong but I do not think the tic tac toe feature was on a machine that had the three cherry payout. Your machine shows the three cherry payout so it is possible that the reel bundle was changed and the award card was also changed. Now that I think about it I don't recall seeing many or any standard chiefs with a three cherry payout. Mostly offered on the club and sun chief models. You may have a reel bundle out of a club or sun chief in your machine.

OMG I hope not , it is impossible for me to get the correct reel bundle here in the Netherlands, so I thing I better let it rest.
Problem is I want perfection and in this case it is not possible I think
I do however own a Wild Indian (label inside shows Sun chief) and it has a cherry on the 3rd reel but is doen NOT payout 3 cherry's - only 2

Jennings definitely DID offer the TTT feature with a 3 Cherry Pay.

VERY NICE! and, even better, it's a $1 machine!

When did Jennings start with the 3 cherry pay?
What are the serial numbers on your $1 machine (matching?)?
I assume it pays correctly on TTT or you would have mentioned it.

We still don't know what happened to subject Standard Chief to not pay correctly.
I do know of one Standard Chief that combines 3 cherry pay with TTT; I'll try find out if it's all original and get serial numbers on it (I think it is probably one of the later ones).
With a little spare time, I'll try to identify other Standard Chiefs that combine TTT and 3 cherry pay.

I may have been misunderstood. I was referring to just the Standard Chief models.

The serial number on all the parts is 180380 , and it does NOT pay any of the TTT combinations , only on the 3 cherry's
The mystery of this machine keeps growing by the day.

How many vertical payout fingers are there. Standard payout out has 5 vertical fingers. Tic tac toe payout should have 6 vertical fingers.

Pretty happy to see the machine has 6 payout fingers....

I'd say oldslotman's observations are pretty much accurate.
Just for fun, I took a look at a sample of 193 Jennings slots produced approximately during the time of Standard Chief production and found:

There were 66 Standard Chiefs (of 193), not counting the subject of this thread.
17 had TTT feature (no 3 cherry pay);
6 had 3 cherry pay (no TTT);
only 3 had both TTT and 3 cherry pay.

3 cherry pay first appeared about machine # 1529xx.
There were few 3 cherry pay until about machine 1732xx, then they were quite common, most were models other than Standard Chief.
Only 7 of the 193 had both TTT and 3 cherry pay.

less than half of the 193 could be confirmed to have matching numbers or original machines, so some of the machines with TTT and/or 3 cherry pay could have been monkeyed with over the years.

Thanks for all your work and yes it is fun to find out as much as possible. I recently purchased 6 slots and all have something. Here in the Netherlands I notice some are build of different parts from different machines.
They play fine but miss things like with my Chief. I got an Wild Indian with I think maybe not the original reel strips but I am not sure. Machine looks great and plays well so I don't. bother.Below example of the Indian head.
