To Enter This Screen, Touch “Coin-In Menu” At The Setup Screen

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 adjust the cost of a credit, as well as providing a way to give

players “bonus” credits for depositing a higher amounts of money.

In the example below (UK currency), each game costs one (1) credit and the cost for a single credit is 30p. This

method is preferred if you want game cost to always be reflected as “1 credit.”

(COIN VALUE) COIN INPUT COINS = CREDITS & METER PULSES

(10p) 1E 3 1 3

(20p) 2E 3 2 6

(50p) 3E 1 2

(player premium 25p/credit)

(£1) 4E 1 5

(player premium 20p/credit)

Note that meter pulses are independent of credits and only track the unit of currency (10p in this example).

In the next example, the cost of a credit is set to 10p and each game costs 3 credits (for a total of 30p). This

method allows game cost to be increased by the smallest unit of currency used (e.g. increasing the cost of Solitaire

to four (4) credits would increase the game cost by 10p).

(COIN VALUE) COIN INPUT COINS = CREDITS & METER PULSES

(10p) 1E 1 1 1

(20p) 2E 1 2 2

(50p) 3E 1 6

(1 bonus credit)

(£1) 4E 1 15

(5 bonus credits)

In both examples, players are given an incentive to deposit more money by giving them “bonus” credits for depositing

50p or £1. Coins may be deposited in any combination of values and the game will automatically register the highest

number of credits for the total amount of coins deposited. Once a game is played, any remaining fractional credits

are erased.

When programming the Coin-In Menu, E1 is set for the lowest value coin, E2 for the next highest value, etc. If all four

coin inputs are not used, the unused inputs must be set “N/A.”. See the example below, which uses German

currency.

(COIN VALUE) COIN INPUT COINS = CREDITS & METER PULSES

(1DM) 1E 1 1 1

(2DM) 2E 1 3

(1 bonus credit)

(5DM) 3E 1 7

(2 bonus credit)

(unused) 4E N/A N/A N/A

Adjust the coin/credit/meter pulse settings by touching the field you want to change.
