FAQ

This will be updated periodically as new questions come up.

What are the differences in the product for the Bally game vs. the CGC game? Can I change it later?

The topper is exactly the same regardless of which machine you are installing the topper on. The installation kit & accessories are slightly different for each machine, but the install time is the same. When you make final payment on your topper you will be asked which game you have (Bally or CGC). The installation parts will be matched for your game. If customers want installation parts for both games, or want to change parts in the future, those parts can be acquired for a $10 additional charge (shipped).

Will the topper work on Revenge from Mars?

We are currently looking into this. We assume most of the features would work but need to confirm that the topper base would sit properly on top. The topper base is 23.5” x 6.25”
