Coin-In Menu

FIGURE 3 - COIN-IN MENU

Game cost can be controlled two ways: by
changing the number of credits required to
play a game or by changing the cost of a
credit. The Coin-In Menu allows you to ad-
just the cost of a credit, as well as provide a
way to give players “bonus” credits for de-
positing a higher amount of money. Use the
left and right arrows to change the number
of credits.

When programming the Coin-In Menu, Chan-
nel 1 is set for the lowest value coin, Chan-
nel 2 for the next highest value, etc. Meter
pulses are independent of credits and only
track the unit of currency. Players can be
given an incentive to deposit more money
by giving them “bonus” credits for deposit-
ing larger denominations. Coins may be de-
posited in any combination of values and
the game will automatically register the high-
est number of credits for the total amount of
coins deposited. Once a game is played,
any remaining fractional credits are erased.

Generally, most countries have a factory
default setting. This setting can be adjusted
(as described above), but will return if the
game memory is cleared. Some programs,
depending on the key used, have a currency
default display located to the left of the coin
inputs. It shows the currency value for each
of the coin inputs. This display is used as a
guide and is not used in any calculations.

Select the currency default display to hide/
show the display.

To give customers bonus credits for insert-
ing a five-dollar bill, enter the Coin-In Menu
and adjust the number of credits in the $5.00
row.

A complete memory clear should only be performed when the
game is locking up or resetting and it has passed the checksum
test. After performing a memory clear, the player database
should be reloaded, TournaMAXX setup information must be re-

entered, and an

Update From Server

should be performed.
