General Operation
How Slam-A-Winner plays
A player can insert as many tokens as he wishes before he starts dropping balls. Most players
prefer this feature.
A player tries to time a ball drop to go thru a desired hole on the rotating wheel
(see program options for setup).
Note: A player can play as fast as he wants to. He will never lose any ticket values because of 3
or 4 balls on wheel at one time.
Halogen ball lamp turns on when there is 1 or more credits. 10 seconds after the last credit is
used, the ball lamp turns off (in standby the lamp is off).
Note: Replace only with same 20 watt lamp. Do not increase wattage or it may cause
damage to the power supply.

How the wheel scores
A pin is located under the wheel at the home position. When this pin passes through the wheel
opto sensor the home position is identified. Since we know the position of the wheel at all times,
when a ball falls thru a hole that triggers the ball opto sensor, we know the value of that hole and
pay tickets accordingly. Wheel opto sensor and wheel home pin can be viewed from front of
game without opening front door.
Note: There is an opto sensor for the outside row of holes and a sensor for the inside row.

How ball lift works
7 balls are installed at the factory, more than 7 may jam ball lift.
When a ball is dropped, the ball drop switch closes telling the ball lift motor to run until another
ball opens the ball drop switch.

Troubleshooting Guide
Problem

What to Check

Wheel runs briefly, stops, and restarts
over and over again

1. Check wheel opto1 operation; wheel opto
light2 should flash once per wheel revolution
when wheel pin3 (pressed into the bottom of
the wheel) passes through opto. If light does
not flash:
• Wheel pin3 may not be low enough
to break opto beam
• Power may not be connected to wheel
opto pcb
2. Check opto output; opto should transition
from +5V to 0V when opto beam is broken.
If opto pcb has power but there is not
transition on the output, the opto pcb is bad.
If signal transitions all the way back to the
Controller board, controller board may be
bad.
3. Check motor adjustment.
1. Check ball ramp switch4 adjustment
2. Make sure the output wire is connected to the
NC (normally closed) side of the ball ramp
switch.
1. Check for out of round or oversized balls.
Check ball size by inserting them into the
Jackpot hole in the wheel. They should pass
through the holes without interference.
2. Check ball drop solenoid5 (if solenoid does
not move at all, it is most likely the ball ramp
switch)
3. Check wire connection to ball ramp switch4,
ball drop solenoid5, and ball release button6

Ball does not drop when ball drop
button is pressed and ball drop button
does not illuminate when credits are
available
Ball does not drop when ball drop ball
button is pressed and ball drop button
does illuminate when credits are
available

Ball Lift Jams
Ball lift runs forward, then backward,
then forward again over and over and/or
Balls build up on ball ramp

Too many balls in machine. There should be 7
balls loaded in the machine.
Ball ramp switch4 is out of adjustment or not
working. Switch output should be connected to
NC terminal.

7

Balls do not score

1. Check ball sensing opto sensors to see if ball
opto light7 goes on when opto beam is
blocked. If light does not go on:
• Check power to opto receiver9 sensor
pcb’s
• Check output signal from the opto
receiver9 pcb. Output from opto receiver
should transition from +5V to 0V when
opto beam is blocked. If not, the opto
receiver should be replaced.
2. If ball opto light7 is always on:
• Check power to opto transmitters8
• Check to be sure that the opto
transmitters8 and receivers are in
alignment.
3. If ball opto light7 does go on and the output
transition from the opto receiver pcb is
detected all the way to the controller board,
then the controller board is bad.
Note: You will need to remove the ball cover
by removing the cotter pin to access transmitter
side of opto sensors and to block opto path for
testing.

Game does not power on

1. Check that power switch1 is in the “ON”
position
2. Check that power cord is good
3. Check power input fuses:
a. With a small flat head screwdriver,
pull the fuse holder2 out. Fuse
holder is located next to the power
input plug3.
b. Tilt the fuse holder cover to the side to
access fuses4
c. Replace fuses (5 Amp) if necessary
and push fuse holder back into place.
