#1 I have an igt s+ slot. When you power it up the top light keeps flashing. If you open and close the door it will stop. When you power it up again same thing. This is the most common error that new slot machine owners will have because the cash out button was pushed and the number of coins in the hopper is less than the total credits to be paid out. You can open the main door and check the hopper for coin level (your hopper will not dispense all of the coins), refill and close the main door.

You can try to fix these errors by doing the following actions as given against each error. Also there are many superb videos online that teach you how to fix these errors.
EEPROM Device Error
Free Slot Igt Machine
EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) is user-modifiable read-only memory (ROM) that can be erased and reprogrammed (written to) repeatedly through the application of higher than normal electrical voltage. Unlike EPROM chips, EEPROMs do not need to be removed from the computer to be modified. However, an EEPROM chip has to be erased and reprogrammed in its entirety, not selectively. It also has a limited life – that is, the number of times it can be reprogrammed is limited to tens or hundreds of thousands of times. In an EEPROM that is frequently reprogrammed while the computer is in use, the life of the EEPROM can be an important design consideration.
A special form of EEPROM is flash memory, which uses normal PC voltages for erasure and reprogramming.
Here is the video how to fix this error
Error on door of slot machine
Many times when the display on the door indicates an error condition, open and close the door to reset the game and clear the error. Open the main door which clears the current game information and a “0” appears in the Coins Played window. Closing the door resets the game and the reels will spin and stop in their last valid position. The error code should clear and the digital display returns to normal game play.
Error Code 12 Battery Voltage
To fix this error turn power off and then turn power on if the battery voltage has dropped below 2.9 V. Also replace ASAP due to possible RAM (Memory) corruption. Open / close door to clear and also Replace 3.6 V Lithium battery on CPU board.
Coin Errors
For coin errors see that comparitor is seated in all four acceptor clips and that acceptor does not have coin(s) jammed or the coin optics below comparitor is not blocked You can ensure toggle power switch is in activated position if installed.
Coin Out Tilt Hopper
Check for and clear any jammed coins in the coin out channel. Also see that the coins are not jammed behind hopper knife or see that the coin out optic sensor is not blocked by dust. If so you can replace hopper coin out optic.

How do I tell if I have the latest version of the program installed?
Start up the program and click on the Game Help button. That is the version you have installed.
If you have the 1.0.0 version installed, at this time that is the latest version.
How do I add more money to the game?
When you start up the program, you will stop at the sign in screen. Under the card in the center of the screen it will say 'Freeplay Mode' or 'Career Mode'. If you are playing career mode, you can't add money. Create a new card and play with that name.
If you are playing Freeplay mode, you can add money. Go to any slot machine. In the upper right corner of the screen is a $. To the left of that $ is your bankroll (if you don't see it, click on the $). Click on the number and a black square will appear with these sections: Coins In, Denomination, Cash, and Bankroll
If you click between the $ and the first number of the bankroll, a bar will appear flashing on and off. Using the delete key on your keyboard, remove the numbers you don't want and then type in the numbers you do want. You can change the Coins in section the same way. If you are unable to get the numbers you want, lower the denomination.
Why has the program reset my bankroll to 500 Million?
The problem is that there is an upper limit on the bankroll. When the numbers reach that limit, they roll over and start again at 1. To allow you to play without losing all of your bankroll, we reset you to a half billion.
One suggestion is to press the reset button and start over at $25,000. Whenever you look at the bankroll, just add one
billion to that number.
Why, after I download and install the game and I start the game, do I get a screen with just the Miss Red box and no buttons?
The quickest solution would be to upgrade to Internet Explorer 8, which is the latest version available for Windows XP.
However, XP Service Pack 2 is required for IE7+, so if you are on XP SP1 you will need to update your OS.
The SP2 installer is available as a standalone download and can be installed on both XP and SP1:
