Hi - I am new user and am looking for help with a problem.

I just bought my first machine, and it is giving me problems. I tested it quite thoroughly before I purchased and it seemed fine, so I am hoping it was the move that affected it.

The game is the 4-reel Wacky Weekend from Global Gaming.

When I switch it on, it goes through Initialising, starts moving the reels down a few notches, and then displays an error:

"4OPT FAULT REEL"

Occasionally it will work, and I can play the machine fine, but it is not very often.

I am a total beginner with this, so if anyone can give any sort of input at all, then it would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Nick Hartley

Faulty opto sensor on reel 4. Black tab will pass between a black sensor, ensure neither dirty or loose.

Reel 4 should be the number reel...

Thanks for the response. I will have a go with it this evening and report back.

I figured it was a reel 4 problem, but had no idea what the problem was.

I will look for the black sensor as specified above.

A nice first post there Nick - it does so make a change to see someone say 'hello' before wanting something here... and you have asked for help, not demanded, or expected it.

I hope become a regular here.

OK I have had a look inside and am not sure what I am looking for. On the interior of the reels, on the left hand side there is a black tab - is this what you are referring to? It sticks out a bit to the left of each reel.

I cannot see where the sensor would be - can you let me know what it looks like or where to look for it (or both!). Is it part of the reel?

On a related note, is it possible to remove the whole reel assembly unit? It looks like it is just clamped in place, and pushing it back should release it, but it is not moving.

Many thanks again,

Nick
