I just picked up a Riverboat Gambler last night. For the most part it is working. There are a couple of minor things wrong, it needs cleaning, the backbox GI is out. Nothing that seems to bother gameplay though.

The one thing it is doing, which I find rather humourous, is the death metal/possessed riverboat vocals. The vocals are distorted beyond recognition on a few words.

The rest of the voices and sampled sounds are ok. It's just in the song.

Right now when it happens we just shout "Begone from this machine demon!" and keep playing. It adds another layer to the game I suppose.

What would cause this (besides demon possession)?

Interesting. Speech effects are processed on the CPU and I assume the speech data samples are stored in the sound ROMs on the CPU board. I am just not certain if the vocals for the music are considered music or speech. Music is handled on the background sound board. I suppose my first step would be to reseat, then maybe replace, the sound ROMs on both the sound board and the MPU board. Following that, I would try replacing the CPU to sound board ribbon cable, and if still didn't work, probably replace the CVSD. Just my "guesses" at this point.
