I have the equivalent "stuff" here.  We have never seen the failures
here that happen in the casinos.

I have a half dozen or more of the board that I can grab.  But they
aren't the one that failed....

Shipping the whole slot back here probably doesn't make much sense.
Failure do not seem to be specific to the same cabinet over and over but
instead across a bunch of cabinets.

In this case they are accommodating but so far I haven't proven anything
about what could cause the failures.  If I can't reproduce the problem
it's a lot harder to fix.
