[gsx11r]

Hi
After the very good thread and the Beautiful photos about the rol 5/25ç , I have some question about the mythic Rol Tic Tac Toe !
How work the Tic Tac Toe ? Never find photos of the Mec for this slot machine !

I Have heard that the Tic Tac Toe have special reel trips !? Any info about them ?? If you have the order for the symbols , that will maybe possible to reproduce them ??
thank you

The Tic-Tac-Toe Rol-A-Top is a fairly late model Rol-A-Top and one that you don't see very often.

I am guessing Watling put it out after Jennings started doing Tic-Tac-Toe models in their Standard Chief lines.

I have a TTT Rol-A-Top (with original shipping crate). Below are some photos. I will try and get you the reel strip information a little later as I have company from out of town for about a week.

Unbelievable; is there any unusual machine you DON'T have?

There are lots of odd ball machines I don't have.

I have been trying to obtain a two pull for a quarter Rol-A-Top for years. I just missed out on one in Chicago 10 years ago or so.

I am actually downsizing right now though. I am changing the direction of my collection and looking for earlier machines.

I sold a ton of stuff last year (http://www.IBuyOldSlots.com/forSale.php)

I own a Jennings Club Chief with the TTT feature, but I'm afraid that, mechanically speaking, there's no great mystery nor brilliant ingenuity involved in creating that gimmick. All it amounts to on the Jennings is 1) a single jackpot bar on each reel and 2) wider holes on the first and last payout wheel for an 18 coin payout finger to probe. It appears from the picture of the RAT award card Dave posted that Watling widened the hole on the second payout wheel also-- at any rate, I hope our French friend gsx11r is not too disappointed by having a look inside at the RAT TTT mechanism and finding nothing obviously out of the ordinary.

Now, if you wanna see a really exotic freak-show of a mechanism, get a look inside an AC MultiBell. WHOA!

Sure ,I know how work a Jennings TTT !
I have this slot !! But It s really easy to find info on Jennings !
And Sure , I know how is inside a Rol a Top !I have more 10 of them at home !With different variation Mech; and casting !
But It s really hard to find info on a Rol TTT !! Only one model have this ,and have been made for a very short time !
I have seen only the one from Dave at this time !! And i search info on it since a long time !!
I don’t think that I will be disappointed ,because I think that I have the parts for a rol TTT in a box and I would like to be sure that's right !
So ,I Would like to know how Watling have add the 6th Finger ! Does Watling have made a special Mech , or just made a small part as I think I have !
l Love Watling and specially Watling ! I know many info on them ; except about this TTT !( and about skill stop on the “Blue seal” !That will be my next question !)!
You are right , the AC MultiBell is great , personally , I prefer the “Mills Dice machine” or the “Bones” from Buckley and some crazy French slot machine !

The way the Watling works is that it has a 6th finger just for the 18 coin TTT payout. This extra finger is actually the first finger as you look at the back of the mechanism (the finger that most people would assume to be for cherries). Obviously, the disc is stamped to allow this finger to go in when the various bar combinations are hit.

Here are some photos as well as photos of the reel strips.

Here are 5 photos showing the reels. All reels are aligned at the beginning of the stip. 4 symbols shown per reel per photo (20 symbols in total).

Now here is a photo showing the fingers when we have a TTT 18 coin payout

From a mechanical viewpoint, the Mills Dice is my favorite machine of all time.

Here are some photo of my Dice along with the mechanism.

The Multi-Bell is also a pretty crazy machine though. This is one that I sold last year (wish I wouldn't have).

Thank you so much Dave for all this info !!!
I search info on it since nearly 4 years !! Thank you !!
And with this photos we can see that the bundle axe reels is in plastic , the only plastic part that we can see in the last watling slot machine ! The logos on reels are not the same as the old watling but nearly the same than Mills !
Dave , do you have the ref number write on the tag inside the slot ?? ( not the serial number)
About the Mills Dice , I love the small box who emule the sound effect of dice being shaken in a cup !! It s crazy to have think to make this !!!
thanks again !!! I think that I will be able to finish my TTT now !!!
