General Question about slot machine

[autoset]

Hello, does anyone know how i can hook up my computer to the slot machine, like most new slot machines in US casinos, they are hooked up to a main computer to monitor them. My slot machine (GAMERA HIGH GRADE VISION) seem's to have a few ports where they connected stuff to ether troubleshoot the slot machine, upgrade software, or do some other things.
Here are some pictures to show what im talking about.

IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW I CAN HOOK UP ANY THING TO THESE PORTS LET ME KNOW, THANKS

ps, does any one else in here own this slot machine, my slot machine is set to level 6, but it seems to not pay out as much, the only way i can win is by hitting 777, or 3 Gameras. it seams that i have to spend about 300-500 tokens to hit the jackpot. it does not pay out 115%like it says in the odds setting.

First, there's no known way to hook up our computers to these. It's true the Japanese Pachinko Parlors can but they aren't about to let their software out to the public and if they did, it would still be in Japanese.

The 115% is based on a 10,000 token run. Remember the most you can win is 15 on one spin so you'll get a lot of little payouts at that setting and some big ones in the bonus rounds.

actually there is a way to hook up to your computer we found it some time ago Tulsa but your right the software is written in Japanese and doesn't do much good unless your a programmer and can disassemble the program and rewrite it to English there isnt any settings to change your game to english if thats what your looking for the data is just tokens in and out and bonus and payout info ..... as for pay off set your machine to level 3 or 4 and you'll see a wider range of payouts but less big bonuses ....

I believe that last pic is where maintenance people sign/date the rom board after they cut and replace a seal (a-f).

Pachislo's can be hooked up to computers, but at this point just to monitor things like token in/out, # of Big Bonus, reg bonus, and Chance Time. Check here

In your first pic, the connector on the right is this connector, the larger one is believed to be fault monitoring and the small one on the left is for remote stopping of the reels (probably for test purposes).

I've collected alot of parlor 'junk' and have never seen any connectors on the fault or reel stop connectors. I don't think the parlors use them.
Not sure what the red connector in one of the other pics is, although a lot of pachinkos have the same one.

like most new slot machines in US casinos, they are hooked up to a main computer to monitor them. .

US slot machines are not just connected to a PC so they can be monitored. There connected to a player tracking system that runs on a SAS protocol. At least 90% of casinos use SAS. The player tracking in addition to giving the player comp points for playing, records all coin in and coin out, assigns valaditon numbers if its a ticket game (coinless), prints W9 tax forms for all single wins of $1200 or more and reports all this information to the governing body like the Gaming Control board. I think what you looking for is pachistat. You can do a search for it and see if its what you want.
