How to Repair a Constant Reel Tilt Error

A constant reel tilt error is found on slot machines that are not balanced. When a slot machine is unbalanced, the reel on the inside of the machine bounces around, keeping players from using the slot machine. If you would like to get rid of this error, you need to balance the machine. You don̵7;t have to be a slot machine engineer to make repairs; you can do it yourself with little hassle.

  Remove the power cord from the outlet that your slot machine is plugged into. Use your key to open the door to the slot machine.
