    I don't know if it's just a reflection in the picture, but it looks like the 'out of balls' light is illuminated (top left of the frame, just below the left speaker). If this is lit, then it means that your machine thinks that there's no balls in the top hopper at the rear of the machine.

    This is most often caused by some sort of blockage between the hopper, and the payout motor, so follow the path of the balls down from the hopper on the machine, and see if you can see where the balls are stuck. There is usually a stopper fork, that can be used to block the ball path for maintenance. If this is in the down position, you won't get any payouts.

    You might have more information from the error indicator LEDs on the back of the frame, I think they are just above the D-25 card reader (dongle) connector on this machine (but I am not certain as I only have machines in the Maruhon 'Spark' frame, and your one is in the revised 'New Spark' frame). Post a picture of the back of the machine and we might be able to figure out if it's showing an error.

    Thumbs up Re: Maruhon CR Five Dragon HELP Please

    so yes there is a light under the left speaker that is on. what i noticed is that when i fill the jackpot slot in the back with balls the machine will drop all the ball automatically. here is a video of what is going on..

    It looks like your machine is just catching up on payouts.. This happens when the game is played without the payout hopper full.. You can either keep filling it until it's caught up, or try a reset.. I don't know this frame, but I'd look for a small button near that blinking light in the back.. (if you can't find it, hopefully someone with this frame can help) With the machine off push in the button and turn on the machine while continuing to hold the button for a few seconds..
