Bally slot machine hopper payout mechanism.

If you have a Bally electro mechanical slot machine and it suddenly seems to die completely, then it may be the jackpotting timer that has tripped. This video shows how the hopper based payout mechanism works and how to reset the timer if it trips. For safety I recommend turning the power off to the machine completely before reaching in to press the reset button. It can also be accessed by sliding the hopper mechanism out.
