Okay, got all the parts in! The dispenser drawer bit is very nice. I actually realized after I already received it that I had bought a full assembled ticket dispenser system years ago and it was just in my garage... so now I have two.. haha
Anyway, I put it all together and fed some tickets in, and pushed the test button on the ticket dispenser and it did indeed pull in the tickets... however they don't seem to get awarded after a game is over. I went into the Mushroom World game settings panel and made sure the game mode was set to replay + tickets, but the game just ends and no tickets come out. I'm wondering if it's a communication issue between the game and the ticket dispenser... so maybe I need to check those connections and the dispenser board? Sadly there doesn't seem to be a way to test communication with the game and dispenser in the settings. I have to play a game and end it to see if it does anything.
Anyone have this issue before and figure out what the problem is? As of now I'm just taking a guess that it's bad wiring from the game to the dispenser
