Question
I am helping a friend, never having see a slot machine before. It is really cool. After un-jamming & cleaning the escalator, I won the jackpot. How is the jackpot replenished? Also, does this machine have a reserve jackpot?
Thanks, Ken

Answer
Hi Ken,

I have put something together for you that best describes all this and how it works. It will be attached to this answer as a photo and you can click on the photo to enlarge it, then you can print it out. In a nut shell, played coins go into the machines coin tube first. There is a lever that goes in and out above the coin tube on each play, it enters the tube at the very back and top of the tube and pushes any extra coins off the top of the tube, when the coin tube is full. It pushes these extra coins into the jackpot shoot, from there they rain down into the jackpot and in the process, fall into the reserve, and the main jackpot, and on down into the cashbox. If your missing the reserve jackpot or it doesn't have one, all of the levers on the side at the top of the jackpot will be missing, including the reserve trap door. I hope this explains how this works ok to you. If not, please let me know and I'll try to clear it up a bit. Thanks for asking! Oh....by the way, if you would like some history on your Mills Brown Front slot machine, just write me at jackpot7@q.com and I'll attach sheets of history to your e-mail, and return it to you. If you find you need some manual information on it, you can find manuals here:
