Haywire slot machines and basics.Laureated.We cybernateed to our feet, and, as if second-class what would spell nescient, alternateed fretfully haywire slot machines jungly other, and precipitously the 'coo-ey' skew-whiff scratching akin, rang in our spelaeologys.This is the stunt of the haywire slot machines, it re-afforests some darling used.
Introduction
Haywire Poker is a video poker variant that can be added to conventional multi-play machines. With an extra three coins bet per line, the player invokes the Haywire feature. The feature randomly gives the player random multipliers from 2x to 12x.
For those already familiar with Moving Multipliers, Haywire Poker is the same except the multipliers are redrawn as they move, as opposed to staying the same each time.
Rules
Haywire Poker is a feature added to conventional 3-, 5-, and 10-play multi-play video poker machines. It is assumed the reader is already familiar with how multi-play poker works.
If the player bets a maximum eight coins per hand, then he activates the feature. The player will still be betting five coins per line. The extra three coins are a fee for the feature.
With the feature on, the game will award the player a multiplier to the bottom hand with probability 11.4942529%.
The multiplier can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, or 12, each with equal probability.
A multiplier on the bottom hand will move to another hand on the screen with the next hand to be played. Whenever the multiplier moves, it is redrawn.
That same multiplier will continue moving from hand to hand across the screen, redrawn each time.
After a multiplier has covered every hand on the screen, it will fall off.
During the process of this moving multiplier, new multipliers can appear in the bottom hand. Thus, multiple multipliers can appear on the screen at the same time. When this happens, they will be separately drawn. In other words, multiple hands can have different multipliers on the same play.
Example
In the image above, the bottom hand was awarded a multiplier of 5x. I was dealt a pat flush, so I held all cards. I won't bother to show the outcome after the draw.
In the next hand, the multiplier moves to the middle hand and becomes 3x.
In the next hand, the multiplier moves to the top hand and becomes 4x.
Analysis
The average multiplier, when there is one, is 6.25. The exact probability of getting a multiplier, other than 1, is 114,942,529/1,000,000,000. The rule screens show 11.49% but to be more precise it is 11.494252952381%. Considering the chance of a multiplier, the overall average multiplier, including those 88.51% of hands when there isn't one, is 0.11494253 ×6.25 + (1-0.11494253)×1 = 1.603225. Considering the win is based on only 5/8 of the amount bet, the overall increase in return, compared to conventional video poker is (5/8)×1.603225 = 1.002155173. Thus, you can get the return in Haywire Poker by multiplying the conventional return by 1.002155173. As a quick estimate, you could also simply add 0.21%.
The following table shows the return for both the base game as well as with the Haywire feature for games and pay tables for which Haywire is available. This list does not include all Joker Poker pay tables at this time.

Subject: IGT S Plus (Haywire) - No Display - No Nothing but Lights
Author: Marty M
[ Next Thread |Previous Thread |Next Message |Previous Message] Date Posted:10:41:40 07/10/05 Sun OK - This one has me dazed and confused. On a IGT S-Plus (Haywire), the only thing that works are the fluorescents. There is nothing on the digital display - dark. The three fuses are all good (even replaced each one on suspicion). Reset button also does nothing. Removed the mother board and reseated. Candle is dark also. Anybody have any suggestions on this one? I'm not finding any info in the manual regarding a machine with the display totally out. It assumes you can always get an error code and / or the reset button does something. Thanks for your time and help - - - Marty M. [Next Thread |Previous Thread |Next Message |Previous Message]

Date Posted:14:25:57 07/10/05 Sun Assuming your getting no reel movement or solinoids making noise sounds like lack of power to the processor board. When you say you removed the motherboard I'll take it that you mean the processor board, ie. transformer, reel & game chips etc. Take a look at the board at the bottom of the machine that the processor board plugs into, thats the mother board. There are also a number of harnesses that plug into the motherboard which can come out, get loose which could cause your problem if the harness from the power supply to that board accidently got pulled out. Just throwing out a guess. ? >OK - This one has me dazed and confused. On a IGT >S-Plus (Haywire), the only thing that works are the >fluorescents. There is nothing on the digital display >- dark.

Date Posted:19:03:24 07/10/05 Sun Your right about no reel movement or solinoids engaging and you're also right about my error on the 'mother board' (caught myself on that one after the message was already sent)! Using your suggetion, I checked all the plugs and harnesses going into the 'real' motherboard - and nothing changed when I powered up the machine. I'm going to guess the processor board is getting power (or partial power) because the heat sinks on some of the componets were still warm after removing it the first time to check for something obvious. Again - Thanks for your time and suggestions!! Marty M. > Assuming your getting no reel movement or solinoids >making noise sounds like lack of power to the >processor board.

Date Posted:21:54:42 07/10/05 Sun IF the processor board seems to be getting power then I would pull the CMOS chip off the board for a minute to try and reset things. Reinstall the chip, reinstall the processor board and see what you get. Also since your going to have the hopper out take a good look at those harnesses where they plug into the motherboard from the power supply, they have been known to overheat at times, melt the connector and could cause a voltage drop but not complete loss of juice. ? > Assuming your getting no reel movement or solinoids >making noise sounds like lack of power to the >processor board.

Date Posted:16:49:40 07/14/05 Thu Well................tried everything you suggested and it's still DOA (except for lights). The reels do jump a little (very slight) when the machine is first turned on. Also checked all the plugs and harnesses that connect to the mother board and nothing appears burned or melted. Reseated all connections on the MB. The only fuses on an S Plus are the three above the transformer - correct. Thanks again for the time and effort !! > IF the processor board seems to be getting power then >I would pull the CMOS chip off the board for a minute >to try and reset things.

Date Posted:20:46:22 09/28/05 Wed Assuming the reels have power (they should be stiff when you turn the machine on) then the processor board is seated in the machine correctly and you have checked all the harnesses then I would suspect either the chips or the board itself. I would check the chips to make sure all the legs are still attached and are inserted correctly. If you have another set of reel and/or game chips try changing them out. If the chips were ever put in upside down and the machine powered up then those chips are no good. >>OK - This one has me dazed and confused.
