Changing the Top Florescent Light

The top florescent light bulb is easily changed by following these simple procedures. The replacement bulb is an F15T8/CW 18″ 15 Watt bulb which is available at most hardware and department stores or may be purchased online at Ebay or Amazon or realslotmachinesforsale under the category ‘parts of slot machine’.

• Open the main slot machine door and ensure the door is fully open. Turn off the power to the slot machine. The power switch can be found with the main door open about midway down on the right side just inside the machine.
• If the machine is equipped with a top ticket printer, you must pull the bottom of the printer out far enough to see where the ticket paper is located, and note the area large enough to place a couple of your left fingers under.

• Remove the top metal trim strip which is a cover plate to the right of the ticket printer and/or is located along the bottom of the top glass. There are a couple of clips on the back of the metal trim strip that fit into notches on metal bracket which holds the top glass. The metal trim strip should be lifted upwards and outwards to remove.
• Once the metal trim strip is removed, the next step is to remove the top glass. Note that some top metal trim strips have a slot in the top that holds the top glass and they must be removed very carefully as to not damage or drop the top glass.

• You can now see the top glass is held in place by usually two or three clips that rise above the metal bracket behind the top metal trim strip. Now slowly lift up on the top glass from both bottom edges until the top glass until it is high enough to gently pull it forward and allowing it to slide down and away from the top track and clips holding it in place.
• Once the top glass has been removed, put it somewhere where it will not get knocked over or broken. You will see the florescent bulb in the middle of the top box area of the machine. Care should be taken removing the bulb as it may be very hot. Remove the old bulb by twisting the florescent tube about a quarter to half turn allowing the two prongs on the bulb to slide out of the fixture on both sides of the bulb.

• Remove and discard the old bulb. To install the new bulb, align the two prongs on each side of the florescent tube with the slits on each fixture in the top box of the slot machine. Twist the bulb into place normally using about a quarter to half of a turn. If the bulb is not secure or aligned, repeat the procedure.
• If your slot machine is an IGT S Plus machine, it is equipped with a florescent bulb starter. Then you can replace the starter when replacing the florescent light bulb. The starter is an FS-U Universal Starter. They are available at most hardware and department stores or may be ordered online too. The starter for the top florescent bulb on an IGT S Plus machine is located directly behind the florescent bulb fixture on the left side of the slot machine in the top box area.
• It is replaced by twisting about a quarter to half a turn as it is held in place with a bayonet type mount. Remove the old starter and discard. Replace with a new FS-U Universal Starter by aligning the two pins on the bottom of the starter with the notches in the starter receptacle, pushing it up into the starter socket, and then twisting it a quarter to half a turn into place.
• Prior to re-installing the top glass, turn the power switch on the right inside of the machine on to verify the bulb works properly. If it does not, turn the power off and check that the bulb is properly installed and secure. If replacing a starter, check that it is also properly installed and secure.
• After verifying the bulb is working, it is now time to replace the top glass. If your slot machine has a top ticket printer, ensure the ticket printer is still pulled out so you can place your fingers in the opening while replacing the top glass.
• Carefully and slowly lift up the top glass placing each hand under the bottom of the top glass. Slide it into the upper edge track on the top box of the slot machine carefully lifting it so it slides into the tracks while being able to push the top glass back far enough to clear the two or three raised clips on the metal bracket where the top glass holding track is located.
• Gently and slowly lower the top glass behind the clips so as to allow them to hold the glass in place. If properly secured, the top glass will not be able to slide down or out of its position. Keep a secure hold on the top glass until you are certain it is secured in the proper position.
• Replace the top metal trim strip by aligning the two or three hooks the back through the metal bracket that supports and holds the top glass. Once the hooks on the back are in place, gently push the top metal trim strip down and it should snap into place. If you have a slot machine with a top ticket printer, close it tight into position. Close the main slot machine door and you are ready to play.

Changing the Belly Glass Florescent Light

The belly glass florescent light bulb is easily changed by following these simple procedures. The replacement bulb is an F15T8/CW 18″ 15 Watt bulb which is available at most hardware and department stores or may be bought online as spare parts of slot machine.

• Open the main slot machine door. Turn off the power to the slot machine. The power switch can be found with the main door open about midway down on the right side just inside the machine.
• Facing the slot machine door, look on the right side of the door just around from bill acceptor area. You will see a knob sticking out that is approximately the size of the end of a regular pencil. This knob when pulled out releases the slot machine belly glass assembly (belly door) to fold down so the bulb can be accessed.

• There are a couple of very important thing to remember prior to pulling this knob to release the belly door. First try pulling gently on the knob. If it does not allow you to pull out and you have a lock installed directly above it, the lock must unlocked in order to allow the release knob to pull out. When pulling out the release knob, be ready for the belly door to fold down.
• Most of the time you must lightly pull on both sides of the belly door to get it to fold down, however always place your hand under it so it does not fall down too quickly causing the belly glass to break or crack.
• Once the belly door is in the down position, you will see the access to the florescent bulb bracket that is held in place by a small Phillips screw. Remove the screw and place it the coin tray so it will be handy when you need it after replacing the bulb.

• The long metal bracket that holds the florescent bulb must be slid slightly right or left so as to be able to lift it out of the belly door. Gently lift the metal bracket with florescent bulb out of the assembly far to be able to turn it over to replace the bulb. Be cautious as the bulb could still be hot!
• Grasp the metal bracket holding the florescent bulb and remove the old bulb by twisting the florescent tube about a quarter to half turn allowing the two prongs on the bulb to slide out of the fixture on both sides of the bulb.

• Remove and discard the old bulb.To install the new bulb, align the two prongs on each side of the florescent tube with the slits on each fixture that is on each side of the new bulb. Twist the bulb into place normally using about a quarter to half of a turn. If the bulb is not secure or aligned, repeat the procedure.
• Now turn the metal bracket that holds the newly installed bulb over and back into position in the belly glass assembly. Slid the bracket slightly right or left into position and replace the small screw which holds the metal bracket in place.
• If your slot machine is an IGT S Plus machine, it is equipped with a florescent bulb starter. So you need to replace the starter a well when replacing the florescent light bulb. The starter is an FS-U Universal Starter. They are available online and you can purchase one.
• The starter for the belly glass florescent bulb is located on the back of the main slot machine door on the lower right hand corner as you face the back of the door.

• It is replaced by twisting about a quarter to half a turn as it is held in place with a bayonet type mount. Remove the old starter and discard. Replace with a new FS-U Universal Starter by aligned the two notches on the bottom of the starter, pushing it into the starter socket, and then twisting it a quarter to half a turn into place.
• Prior to closing the belly glass door, turn the power switch on the right inside of the machine on to verify the bulb works properly. If it does not, turn the power off and check that the bulb is properly installed and secure. Also check to ensure the starter is properly installed and secured.
• Lift the belly glass assembly up and push it into place in the slot machine door. Ensure the belly glass door snaps into place and the knob on the side of the door is in its normal position. It is spring loaded so as to not allow the belly glass assembly to open unless it pulled. If the belly door appears to be in place, pull on both sides of the belly door to make sure it is locked and secure.
• If you unlocked the lock above the knob, re-lock it. Close the main slot machine door and you are ready to use your slot machine.

Changing the Push Button Bulbs

All of the slot machine’s push button lights such Play Max Credits, Spin Reels, Bet One Credit, etc. are easily replaced by following this simple procedure. The replacement bulbs are #161 on IGT S2000 machines and #555 on IGT S+ machines and may be purchased from online stores.

• Fully open the slot machine door. Look on the backside of the door. Each push button will extend down from the shelf on the door and will have a small wire bundle going to it. Identify which push button bulb needs to be replaced.
• Carefully pull down on the bottom of the push button area that is normally white and is where you will see wiring connected. Using your thumb and two fingers, pull straight down and the bottom portion of the push button should snap out.

• You will now be able to see the bulb in the top area of the lower push button assembly. Use caution as the bulb may be very hot. Pull the wedge bulb out and discard it. Notice the slot in which the bulb located.
• Place a new bulb in the slot noting the direction of slot ensuring the new wedge bulb is inserted so as to line up in the slot. Push the new bulb into place.

• Replace the bottom of the push button assembly by inserting it into the top portion of the push button assembly. The bottom portion will snap into position. Ensure that none of the wire connections have been accidentally knocked loose on the bottom of the push button. Note the push button light will not illuminate until the slot machine door is closed. Close the main slot machine door and you are ready to play.

Changing the Small Panel Lights

The small panel lights that illuminate the denomination amount and other areas behind the glass are easily changed. For denomination amount lights on the IGT S2000, a #73 bulb is needed and a #86 bulb is needed on the IGT S+ slot machines. They may be bought online from slot machine selling sites.

Here it is described as how to change the lights behind denomination amounts such as .25 Cents. Other small panel light bulbs are changed in the same manner.

• Fully open the slot machine door. Look on the backside of the door. Note the location where the denomination amount would be located near the center just below the slot machine’s center glass. The area will appear to be flat with a small bulb holder projecting out that is slightly larger in diameter than a regular pencil and is flat on two or four sides.

• This bulb holder is removed by simply twisting it a quarter to half a turn and then gently pulling it out of its socket. It is held in place by somewhat of a bayonet type mount.
• Once the bulb holder is removed, pull the wedge bulb out of the socket and discard the old bulb. Caution should be taken as the old bulb may be very hot. Replace the bulb by firmly inserting a new bulb into the socket of the bulb holder being careful to align the wedge bulb correctly into the slot.
• Take the bulb holder and look for two notches on each side of the opening where the bulb holder is inserted. Note there are two notches on the bulb holder. Align the notches inserting the bulb holder into the panel.
• Gently twist the bulb holder about a quarter to half a turn to lock it into place. Verify the bulb is illuminating, and if not repeat the procedure using a different new bulb. Now close the main slot machine door and ready to use.

Cleaning Your Slot Machine

This is common thing and all you need is usually nothing more than a damp cloth to clean the exterior cabinet of your slot machine. Never use any abrasive or ammonia based cleaners on the cabinet of the machine.

The slot machine top, center and belly glasses may all be cleaned on the outside by using a window cleaner. However if you own a slot machine with a frosted exterior glass or one that has any exterior decorated markings such as stars, a window cleaner should not be used as the cleaner may damage the exterior images. Care should be taken cleaning interior glass as a cleaner and cloth may damage labels or markings.

The inside of the slot machine should not require cleaning other than occasionally removing dust. This can normally be done with a damp clean cloth, however ensure the power switch has been turned off prior to cleaning.

When wiping dust inside your machine, be careful not to loosen any wires or connections. Do not use a damp cloth on the face of your reel strips as the playing symbols on the reel strips could come off or become torn. Also be very careful not to touch the back side of your reel strips with a damp cloth especially if the back sides of the reel strips are black. This can cause damage to this type reel strip.

When your Slot Machine Doesn’t Power On

When you get a slot machine and wish to locate or set up at your place, determine the household 120V AC outlet you are planning to use has power. Keep in mind some outlets are controlled on and off by a wall switch.

• With the slot machine unplugged from the outlet and surge protector, open the slot machine main door. Remove the coin tray by lifting up and pulling out the tray. Simply pull it out and down to remove the tray.

• The hopper is on the bottom floor of the machine and slides out on two base rails along two metal guides. Slide the hopper out slowly by grasping the handle with your left hand and supporting the hopper with your right hand. Do not use the black hopper bowl to pull the hopper out of the slot machine.
• On the lower right corner of the slot machine you should see the black power cord coming into the machine. The power cord plugs into the Power Distribution Unit which is located on the back wall of the slot machine.
• Verify the power cord is firmly plugged into place into the right side of the Power Distribution Unit.

• Place the hopper back into the slot machine making sure it slides in easily and completely with the base rails on hopper guides on the bottom of the machine. The hopper plugs into a receptacle toward the back of the machine. It is designed to fit in easily without using excessive force.
• The coin tray can be easily put back into place by ensuring the alignment pins on the coin tray match up to the top alignment holes on the bottom side of the machine. The tray should be pushed down into place. Make sure the tray is even when pushed into place. If the coin tray is not aligned and even, remove the coin tray, and repeat the procedure.
• Verify the power cord is firmly plugged into a good surge protector. Plug the end of surge protector into the outlet you have verified is good, and make sure the on/off switch on the surge protector is turned on.
• Now turn the power switch on the inside right of the slot machine to the on position and verify the slot machine is powered on by lights illuminating.

Jackpot Payout Reset

When your slot machine just hit a 25,000 credit Jackpot it now needs to be reset to continue playing. Depending on the model slot machine you have and the amount of the payout will determine the best course of action.

If you have an IGT S+ Slot Machine and your win is under the maximum payout amount specified on the center glass of the machine, the hopper may run out of coins or tokens. This is normally displayed by Error Code 3300. In this case it usually a simple matter of taking the coins or tokens that have been paid out and putting them back in the hopper allowing it to fully pay out. However, if you won a large jackpot that is “hand pay out”, then follow the steps below.

• First open the main slot machine door. Locate the Jackpot Key which is normally kept inside the slot machine in a plastic envelope on the side of the cash box. If you do not find it inside the machine, often times the Jackpot Key will be strapped with the main slot machine door key. It is a small key as pictured below.
• Take the key in hand and locate the jackpot reset which is a keyhole located on the right side of the slot machine. It is normally about two-thirds up from the bottom of the machine.

• Insert the Jackpot Reset Key into the keyhole. Turn the key only one quarter turn to the right. This will reset the machine, and once you close the main slot machine door, you will be ready to resume play.
• Note that if you turn the Jackpot reset key multiple times you may place your slot machine into a test mode and will thus delay your ability to continue playing.

Some of the Error Codes you get on Slot Machine

Error Code 3300 (IGT S+ Machines)

Simply put Error Code 3300 is normally telling you your hopper is low on or completely out of coins or tokens.

Open the main slot machine door. Look into the hopper. If it is empty or has just a few coins or tokens, place about 500 coins or tokens back into the hopper. Close the main slot machine door. In a few moments you should hear the sound of the hopper’s motor turning and soon the remaining coin payout will begin.

Error Code 3100 (IGT S+ Machines)

Error Code 3100 (Extra Coin Out Tilt) normally signifies either a jammed/stuck coin or token in the coin-out chute on the hopper, or the hopper coin-out sensor has detected the hopper may have paid out an extra coin.

• Open the main slot machine door. Remove the coin tray by lifting up and pulling out the tray. Simply pull it out and down to remove the tray.
• The hopper is on the bottom floor of the machine and slides out on two base rails along two metal guides. Slide the hopper out slowly by grasping the handle with your left hand and supporting the hopper with your right hand. Do not use the black hopper bowl to pull the hopper out of the slot machine.
• Inspect the hopper to determine if any coins/tokens appear to stuck or jammed in the hopper knife or the hopper coin-out channel.
• If a coin appears to be stuck or jammed, empty the hopper of coins/tokens for easier access to clearing the jammed coin/token.
• Once the stuck or jammed coin has been removed, place the hopper back into the slot machine making sure it slides in easily and completely with the base rails on hopper guides on the bottom of the machine. The hopper plugs into a receptacle toward the back of the machine. It is designed to fit in easily without using excessive force
• Refill the hopper with the proper size coins or tokens. The coin tray can be easily put back into place by ensuring the alignment pins on the coin tray match up to the top alignment holes on the bottom side of the machine. The tray should be pushed down into place. Make sure the tray is even when pushed into place. If the coin tray is not aligned and even, remove the coin tray, and repeat the procedure.
• Close the main slot machine door. The error code should be gone and the machine is ready to play.

Error Code 12 (IGT S+ Machines)

The 3.6 volt battery on the slot machine CPU Board normally lasts for years. However when an Error Code 12 is displayed, this is an indication the battery voltage has dropped below 2.9 volts and is now a low battery.

It is recommended to replace the battery as soon as possible. They can be purchased online from ebay, amazon or realslotmachinesforsale. When ordering a replacement battery, they will provide you with detailed instructions on how to change this battery which is located on the slot machine’s CPU Board.

In order to reset Error Code 12 temporarily, simply open and close the main slot machine door. It is important not to wait for a long time to replace the battery as data stored on the RAM may be lost. Replace the battery Asap.

Following are some of the other error codes that might interest you to solve your problem in repairing the slot machine

Hopper is Full and Coins Go Down a Chute to Bottom of Machine

Slot machines that accept coins were designed this way because when used constantly on the casino floor, hoppers could quickly fill. There is a coin level probe on side of the hopper that looks like a brass screw sticking inward toward the hopper bowl. This probe detects when coins/tokens are at a selected level, and will cause the subsequent coins/tokens played to go down a chute to the bottom of the slot machine.

Provided your slot machine sets on a regular casino slot machine stand with holes in the top and the holes are aligned with the slot machine, those coins which bypassed the hopper will go down the chute, through the hole in the bottom of the machine, through the hole in the top of the stand, and into the open area in the stand cabinet. As casinos have done for years, place a small plastic tub in the slot machine stand cabinet to collect these excess coins.

Retrieving Currency from the Cash Box

Though not all slot machines are equipped to accept currency in order to comply with certain laws but if your slot machine is equipped with a bill acceptor, bill transport and cash box, the bills in the cash box can easily be retrieved.

• Open the slot machine main door. The cash box door is located just under the yellow chute for the bill acceptor. Ensure the cash box door is fully open.
• On the right side of the cash box toward the top is a release level. Push release lever down and pull the cash box straight out toward you. If the cash box seems difficult or impossible to pull out, make sure you have pushed the release lever down.

• Hold the cash box in both hands and turn it upside down. Notice on the bottom of the cash box is a door which has two small finger sized holes on one side. Normally the door is held closed by a small piece of electrical tape so the bottom cash box door doesn’t come open while removing it from the cash box chassis of the slot machine.
• While holding the cash box with the bottom door up toward you, open the door and you will see where the bills are stored. The large spring expands as more and more bills are added to the cash box. Remove the bills by pulling them straight out.
• Close the bottom door of the cash box and re-secure the door using the same small piece of electrical tape. Turn the cash box around to the original position when you removed it from the slot machine.
• Align the flat top of the cash box with the flat surface at the top of the cash box chassis from which you removed it. Slide it firmly into place. Now close the cash box door and the main slot machine door and you are ready to use it for gaming.

Slot machines are nothing new in Michigan. There have been slot games at the state’s various casinos for decades.

Between the 26 casinos in the state, there are more than 31,000 slot machines available for play. Standard reel games, progressive jackpot machines, and immersive 3D experiences are all available within the borders of the Great Lakes State.

That number is set to explode, however, as online casinos join the party. Thanks to a bundle of laws passed in late 2019, Michigan casinos can open virtual versions of their gaming floors to appeal to Michiganders in both peninsulas.

In the sections below, you will find the most relevant resources about slot machines in Michigan. We have all the latest news, information, and bonus offers for how best to attack the one-armed bandits, both live and online.

Online slots vs. live slot machines

You may be wondering why you should play online slots when you can spend your money on the live versions just fine. As it turns out, there are several key reasons why you may want to give the virtual iterations a look.

Availability

Except for dedicated cardrooms, every gambling establishment in the country has slot machines. Furthermore, many of these locations are open 24 hours a day. So, to claim there is greater availability online might seem to strain credibility.

However, online slots cannot break down and unless the site itself crashes, you can always access your favorite game.

Online slots are unhindered by weather, time, or location. Michigan snowstorms can easily make the trip to the land-based casino treacherous and foolhardy, but there is no travel restriction online.

You also never have to wait for your turn to play. Even if a single game has hundreds of people playing it, there will always be a seat for you.

Affordability

Everyone has a different financial situation and tolerance for risk. Some people have no problem betting significant portions of their disposable income on gambling games. Others, like the former world’s richest man, Bill Gates, are uncomfortable with the thought of losing much at all.

However, land-based slots are usually not available on a tight budget. Even so-called penny slots typically require bets of 50 cents or more on each spin.

Virtual slots have no such limitations. You can truly play for pennies online, and there are usually several options for doing so.

On the flip side, there is generally no issue with playing high-limit slots online, either. The range of available bet sizes is quite large and accommodating.

Game looseness

In gambling parlance, a slot machine may be described in terms of its “tightness” or “looseness” from time to time. A tight slot machine is one that is reluctant to pay out, while a loose machine does the opposite. The slot machines at McCarran Airport, for example, have been known to be some of the tightest in Las Vegas for many years.

However, as a general rule, online slots tend to be looser than their real-world counterparts. It is common for online slots to publish their return to player (RTP) percentages, and those figures usually exceed the percentages from an average land-based slot.

A typical online slot machine will pay out 95% of its wagers or more. In other words, for every dollar wagered, a player can expect to receive 95 cents back.

By contrast, it isn’t uncommon for land-based casinos to have percentages below 90%. Though it may not seem as though 5 to 10 cents will make that much difference, it’s a huge discrepancy when multiplied by the aggregate total amount of wagers.

Playing free online slots In Michigan

Another feature of online slots is the ability to try them out for free. You’d be hard-pressed to find a live casino allowing you to play for fun on one of their machines.

However, most online casinos have both demo and real versions of their slots available. Players who enter the game’s demo mode will find they have been supplied with a quantity of play money to use for betting.

Now, in most cases, this play money resets every time you visit a new game. So, there’s no sense in trying to hoard your winnings.

The big advantage of playing for free is you can try out slot games before you invest any of your funds. Most people have their favorite slot games based upon themes, features, and layouts, so free play can be a terrific way to find the one for you.

It is also possible to play slots on sweepstakes sites for play money. Sites like Chumba Social Casino and Luckyland Slots have specific currencies, called gold coins, that are designed only for entertainment purposes.

Like the demo versions on true online casinos, the play money sides of sweepstakes sites allow you to try things out without any risk to you. However, unlike the demo versions, you can stockpile the gold coins in your account. Though it’s relatively easy to secure more gold coins in a pinch, it can be a way to keep score about which games are worth your time.

Playing real-money slot games in Michigan

You may not be accustomed to gambling online, so it’s key to understand how playing on a real-money slot in Michigan works. Playing for real money is usually a superior experience to playing for free because there are elements of danger, excitement, and possibility involved.

No deposit bonuses

Before you do anything else, check this page for any no deposit options at your site of choice. Many online casinos offer free bonus dollars or site credits to new players as a way to welcome them to the site.

If any of these types of bonuses exist, we will have the details here. Also, we may be able to inform you about some offers you can’t find elsewhere.

All that is usually required is your sign-up for the site through our secure link. Occasionally, the site may also require that you enter a promotional code in a specified box while you are registering.

Cash Machine Slot Free

Once you’ve completed registration, you will find the funds waiting for you in your newly-created account. Generally speaking, casinos will offer amounts between $10 – $25.

It is usually not possible to withdraw this money directly, however. You will usually have to wager through it and get returns from the machines first, but that’s probably not an issue, since you came here to play, anyway.

Depositing and playing

Once you’ve completed the use of the bonus money (if any), you will need to deposit funds into your casino account to continue playing. As you did for no-deposit bonuses, please check our site for any deposit matches too.

For bonuses of this type, the online casino pledges to match a portion or all of your deposit amount, effectively doubling your money (or some of it, anyway). The simple entry of a promotional code while you deposit could be worth hundreds of extra dollars.

Since the casino depends on your contributions to survive, it will certainly have several different methods of depositing available.

Typically, an online casino in Michigan will have the following deposit options:

• Credit or debit card
• Electronic check
• Electronic wallet (PayPal, Skrill, etc.)
• Play+ Prepaid Card
• Bank transfer or wire transfer
• PayNearMe vouchers
• Cash at the land-based casino cage

Of course, every site’s offerings are different, so check with the cashier before you fall in love with any particular site.

In general, you should be able to withdraw your funds with many of the same options. However, some of the methods (like PayPal) might require you to use them for your initial deposit before you can withdraw to your account.

Once you have your cash on site, you are ready to go. Please be aware that the speed of play associated with online games is much faster than real life. Although this difference is not as dramatic as for table games or poker, online slots can put you into the hole quite quickly.

Take your time, and practice good money management to prolong your experience and give yourself a chance to win. Otherwise, playing your favorite online slot might be a rather short chapter in your online gambling experience.

Progressive jackpots in Michigan

A progressive jackpot slot is one of the most exciting types of slot games in Michigan. One spin of the reels could net you enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your days.

Some progressive jackpots on slot machines rise into the millions of dollars. However, a typical progressive jackpot prize is usually between $10,000 and $20,000. It’s not enough to retire, but winning a five-digit score will brighten anyone’s day.

Some progressive machines are linked with each other in terms of feeding the jackpot pool. So, players in multiple locations and on multiple games could be contributing to the same kitty.

On the one hand, this fact increases the number of people “competing” for the same prize that you want. However, the sharing of pools causes them to grow faster since they have more sources of income.

Machines don’t always come with a single progressive jackpot, either. Some slots have several of them, and they are classified according to their prize levels.

Typical strata for these kinds of situations are mini, minor, major, and grand prizes. The chances of winning each jackpot also reflect their prestige levels. It is much more likely to grab a mini or minor jackpot than one of the higher prizes.

There are a couple of things to keep in mind when you’re playing a progressive jackpot game, however. The first is the jackpots and regular payouts come from the same source: the cash players stick into the games. You won’t be able to win as much on “typical” payouts if the game has to hold some payouts back for the jackpot.

Second of all, some non-progressive jackpot games can come with extremely high prize opportunities. Even if they’re not feeding into a central system, you can win jackpots many thousands of times the value of your bet.

What kinds of slot machines are available in Michigan?

Slot machines have come a long way from the days of clunky reels. Today’s machines have a variety of shapes, sizes, layouts, features, colors, and modes of play that make any trip to the casino or online casino in Michigan a diversified experience.

However, most slot machines can be categorized in terms of their mechanics. These are the types of games that you’re likely to encounter:

• Three-reel: These are the most basic and traditional style of game and have mechanical reels that actually spin.
• Three-reel with bonus: Simple games with an obvious focus on an ancillary game feature, such as Wheel of Fortune.
• Five-reel: Although the extra reels add complexity, these machines are very similar to their three-reeled cousins and still use actual reels.
• Five-reel with video: This type of slot is the first to do away with actual reels by electing to display them as computer-based graphics. These games can also come with bonus features that appear as a new screen on the game.
• Multimedia: The most advanced type of slot that functions with touchscreens, 3D visuals, and a fluid reel structure. Multimedia slots are often the most highly-featured games in casinos due to their visual and auditory appeal.

Few slot machines, particularly as they grow more sophisticated, come without a theme these days. Most of the games you’ll see will have full dressing to reflect their themes, from Greek mythology to popular bands, and will seek to immerse you in their worlds as completely as possible.

Taking advantage of rewards programs

Most casinos, whether they are live, online, or both, feature rewards programs. These schemes seek to reward customers for their loyalty and play through the awarding of points, perks, and otherbenefits.

Slot players are almost always going to be able to participate in these programs. Frankly, the long-term profitability of a slot player leads many casinos to roll out the red carpet for them.

Whether you plan to play seriously or not, you should always investigate the reward program at a new casino, both live and online. Most of them come with extremelygenerousoffers for first-time applicants, and you can put yourself in line for some delightful benefits. Common reward perks include comped hospitality, increased levels of service, or exclusive gameplay opportunities like tournaments and free play.

Rewards programs should never come at any extra cost to you. It’s not advisable to make reward program status a goal, but there’s no reason not to be earning points in the background if you were planning to play, anyway.

Michigan slot machine laws

Michiganders have been able to play slot machines in some capacity for several decades now. The first machines began to show up in 1984, and the state has never been without the devices since.

Part of the movement towards slot machines across the Great Lakes State came from some of Michigan’s many Native American tribes. After opening their first locations in 1984, seven of Michigan’s tribes operated under the radar until gaining their compacts with the state government nine years later.

After it became clear Michigan was to be a gambling state, state lawmakers authorized the introduction of three casino properties in Detroit. The 1996 Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act paved the way for the commercial properties that occupy the Motor City today. All three properties have slot machines.

The list of casino properties with slot machines swelled over two dozen in the next 20 years. Then, in 2019, Michigan passed a series of gambling expansion bills related to online gambling.

One of those bills set up the possibility of online casino gambling in the state. Needless to say, slot machines are part of that authorization.

Can I own a slot machine legally in Michigan?

Yes.

Slot machines are fun pieces of machinery. For homeowners, they can be a centerpiece of quirky interior design, a point of pride in the man cave, or simply another option in the game room.

However, because slot machines are associated with an activity as strictly regulated as gambling, their ownership is also subject to a heavy legal burden. Some states outright ban citizens from owning them.

Thankfully, Michigan is not one of them. According to Michigan Compiled Statute 750.303, a person may own a slot machine under two conditions:

• The machine is 25 years old or older
• The machine is not used for any gambling purposes

While the time restriction invalidates the purchase of flashier slot machines for now, the statute of limitations will run out soon enough. If you already have an older slot machine in mind that you want to purchase, there are numerous suppliers more than happy to accommodate you.
