Just a quick update for anyone who discovers this board.
There are only 2 of the old chip Sega's still in operation as far as I have been able to ascertain. Both of these machines are in south america and are in a currency which does not allow one to make a realistic amount of profit to make it worth while to travel there to play them.
The bet60 system will work on these machines and guarantee you a cash flow of 30-50 credits per hour, but the value of those credits is far too low to make it economically viable to play there.
Also note, the number of operating Sega Royal Ascot machines worldwide has dropped considerably as the machines become more problematic as they age and parts and technicians are harder to find. The value of the total machine itself which was once as high as $2 million is now around $60,000.
Perhaps if the machines discover a new market, such as China, they will experience a surge in popularity again.
As of the end of 2005, no known crack for the current generation chip exists.
