Credits/Pricing Menu

Quick Price Setup

- This feature is only available in U.S. games.

Quick Price Setup allows the operator to make general pricing changes without entering the

Games Menu.

FIGURE 2 - QUICK PRICE SETUP SCREEN

NOTE: If the game is set to 3 or 6 Credits for a Dollar, prices will display as Credits.

6 Credits for a Dollar (default setting): Sets each game to the following price settings:

COIN VALUE = CREDITS

$0.25 1

$.50 2

$.75 4

$1.00 6

$5.00 30

4 Credits for a Dollar: Sets each game to the following price settings:


$0.25 1

$0.50 2

$0.75 3

$1.00 4

$5.00 20

3 Credits for a Dollar: Sets each game to the following price settings:


$0.50 1

$0.75 2

$1.00 3

$5.00 15

The operator can also use this screen to determine whether prices are displayed to players as credits or monetary amounts, and set the cost of Fast-Play Amusement, Standard Amusement, Long Amusement, and Premium/MegaNET games. Touch the Use Factory Default

Pricing button to restore default values.


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 adjust the cost of a credit, as well as provide a way to give players “bonus” credits for depositing a higher amount of money. On the

Cash-In and Credits Table, the “-” and “+” buttons are used to change the number of credits, while the corresponding price value for the credits is entered by pressing the

Edit button in that row.

NOTE: The “Edit” button will bring up a numbered keypad, limited to 2 decimal places. The Cash-In and

Credits Table is ordered, so values must be set in increasing increments from top to bottom of the screen. The final two values, however, can be entered as “0”, which is the equivalent of N/A. As each row on the table is filled in, the “Edit” button will appear for the subsequent row below it.

Similar to the Cash-In and Credits Table, when programming the Channels on the Coin-In

Menu, Channel 1 is set for the lowest value coin, Channel 2 for the next highest value, etc. The meter pulse, which is the highest common divisor of all the monetary values of the Channels, is independent of the credits and only tracks the smallest unit of currency. Operators can use this number to determine the amount of money earned on a game by multiplying the meter pulse by the reading on the hard meter.

NOTE: Changing the values of the

Channels on the Coin-In Menu may change the meter pulse. Therefore, a

Cash Settlement Collection should be performed prior to adjusting the Channels in order to accurately reflect coin drop based on the hard meter reading.

Adjusting the Channels will not affect the Cash-In and Credits Table, which performs a separate function on the

Coin-In Menu.

To give customers bonus credits for inserting larger denominations, manually adjust the credits earned per dollar value on the

Credit and Values Table. 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 saved and applied to the next purchase.

NOTE: It is recommended that if you are enabling bonus credits, that the game be set to display in credits and not money. If the game is set to display in money, all money values will be based on the value of 1 credit, which is typically the most expensive credit.

The type of currency registered can be adjusted by touching the Change Currency button at the bottom right-hand corner of the

Coin-In Menu. Touching the Default Set-

tings button just below it will return the Coin-

In Menu to its factory settings. This setting can be adjusted (as described previously), but will return if the game memory is cleared.

PM0355-18 MEGATOUCH FORCE 2008.5 AND ION 2008.5 SOFTWARE 6


Coinless Coin Op Menu

When enabled via the Options button on the Credits/Pricing Menu, the Coinless Coin

Op feature allows the operator to charge on a per-game or per-time basis without players inserting money into the game. The total amount owed after gameplay is tallied by the machine and collected by the location owner. Location owners reset the game with a PIN after collection.

NOTE: If you have set a tax fee on the

Cash Settlement Screens, Coinless Coin

Op Mode play will be taxed at the set rate. If you want to set the tax percentage at a different rate for

Coinless Coin Op mode and regular mode, you should perform a Cash

Settlement Collection, change the tax rate and then switch modes.

Settings

Touching the Settings button allows the operator to choose whether players can play Per Game, Per Time, or both when the game is in Coinless Coin Op mode. Per

Time pricing can be changed on this screen with the up and down arrows. The currency amount will apply to each 15minute time block selected by the customer.

FIGURE 5 - COINLESS COIN OP MENU -

FIGURE 4 - PLAYER MENU IN COINLESS

COIN OP (TIME AND PER GAME MODES

BOTH ENABLED)

Certain features will not be available in

Coinless Coin Op Mode, such as MegaNet content, Merit Money, Promo Credits, Free

Credits, TouchTunes® music and AMI jukebox music. Pricing for these features can only be displayed in currency values, not credits.

Setting the PIN

Touch the Set PIN button on the Coinless

Coin Op Menu to program the PIN. The number can be from 1 to 5 digits.

NOTE: The Coinless Coin Op PIN can also be set from the Player Menu.

Touch the Options button, enter the 6

Star PIN, and touch the CCO Set PIN button.

Disabling the Money Inputs

It is recommended that the money inputs be disabled when the game is in Coinless Coin

Op mode. Unplug the power and signal harness connected to the bill/note acceptor and the harness connected to the coin mech (if applicable) to disable the inputs.



Per-Game Mode

When players choose this mode, a running total of the amount owed is maintained and displayed in the CREDITS box on the screen. The total is tabulated after each game or function. The location owner then collects the total amount owed at the end of gameplay. If there is no activity for 10 minutes, the machine will disable and the amount owed by the player will display on screen. No further gameplay can occur until the machine is reset by a location employee using the PIN.

Rental Mode

When enabled via the Options button on the Credits/Pricing Menu, Rental Mode allows players to purchase a block of time and use it to play as many games as they want.

To set the value of a credit in Rental Mode, select Pay Per Time from the Credits

Menu. Touch the arrows on either side of the time interval to adjust the number of minutes of play given for each credit. To disable any row, set the minute value to zero.

Time Mode

The price per 15-minute time block will be displayed before players choose this mode. During gameplay, the time remaining and amount owed by the player will be displayed on screen. When the time block runs out, players can purchase additional time. Otherwise, the machine will disable and the amount owed by the player will display on screen. No further gameplay can occur until the machine is reset using the PIN. If the player leaves the game before the purchased time block has ended, the game can be reset using the PIN.

To Enter This Screen, Touch

“Pay Per Time” on the Credits Menu

FIGURE 6 - PAY PER TIME SCREEN

Resetting or Freezing the Game

The game can be reset at any time using the pre-programmed PIN. Once gameplay totals have been tallied by the machine, the attendant can also choose to freeze the game to prevent more activity until the transaction is complete. The Reset or

Freeze buttons are accessible through the

Options button on the Player Menu after touching the Coinless Coin Op button. An alarm will begin to sound after 3 failed attempts to enter the valid number when entering the PIN to reset the game. The alarm will terminate when the machine is rebooted, the operator SETUP button is pressed, or the correct PIN is entered.

Certain features will not be available in

Rental Mode, such as MegaNet, Merit

Money, Promo Credits and Free Credits.

Rental mode is also unavailable with linked games.

NOTE: It is recommended that you clear the books when toggling Rental

Mode on and off in order to ensure accurate bookkeeping.



Games Menu

Game Setup

The game list and prices, as well as game options, are programmed using these screens. The first screen shows the various game categories and allows access to the following general settings for all games.

To Enter This Screen, Touch “Game

Setup” on the Games Menu and

Select a Category

The Game Setup Screen also allows you to make these general changes:

Default Games: Resets the selected category menu to its default game and price settings.

Clear One: Clears a selected item from the player’s game menu.

Clear All: Clears all games from the player’s game menu.

Enable All Games: Turns on all games within the selected category and defaults the price settings.

FIGURE 7 - GAMES MENU: GAME SETUP

Enable All Games Into Menu: Turns on all games (certain games which were previously displayed in the Game Setup have been turned off in this software) and defaults the price settings.

Factory Default Games Into Menu: Returns the Game Setup to its default settings.

Games that were not originally enabled will be turned off and all price settings will be reset.

When you touch a category name, the next

Game Setup Screen shows the game positions available for that category and the price for each game, with the list at the bottom showing all games available for the selected category. In categories with Merit-thon games, players who choose Merit-thon play one round of three different games in that category for one combined score.

To customize a particular game list, first select a category on the first Game Setup

Screen. On the second screen, touch Clear

All to clear the game list. Choose the menu position you want a particular game to occupy by touching that position, then touch the desired game name from the game list on the bottom of the screen. Repeat until all desired games appear in the menu (a game cannot appear in the list more than once).

Games already in the menu will be red in the game list at the bottom of the screen.

To adjust the price, touch the credit or currency value next to each game.

Some games support a continue function.

In the cost to continue column, games without this function will display N/A. Games that support continuation will show a credit value. The cost to continue is adjustable on a game by game basis. Touch the credit value button to change the amount. Hit NEXT to return to the Games Category page.

NOTE: The default Cost to Continue price is the same as the default cost to play the game; however, the Cost to

Continue does not need to be the same amount as the original price.

LINE to ON-LINE mode. From the System Menu, choose Options, then touch ON-

LINE. Also, to maintain accurate bookkeeping statistics, it is recommended that you perform a Cash Settlement Collection before proceeding to On-Line mode.

Dial-Up Internet Setup

For dial-up connections, you will need to have a modem installed in your game. If you are using a broadband Internet connection, skip to Broadband Internet Setup.

1.

Connect the supplied phone cable to the phone coupler. (The phone coupler features a smaller port than the Ethernet coupler that appears alongside it). If the phone cable has a ferrite attached to the end of it, make sure this end is closest to the game.

2.

Secure the cable to the U-bolt on the back of the game. (This will prevent unnecessary strain on the connector if the game is turned or moved.)

3.

Plug the other end of the phone cable into a phone jack.

4.

Continue with On-Screen Configuration Guide.

Broadband Internet Setup

NOTE: A broadband router is required in order to connect Megatouch games to a broadband Internet connection. You will need either a broadband router with a built-in broadband modem or a broadband router and an external broadband modem. If you are also linking games, you may also require a router with a built-in hub or an external 10 BASE-T Ethernet hub depending on how many games you are linking and how many available ports are on the router. (Hubs are available from your distributor as a separate part, EC0030-01, or at your local computer store.)

NOTE: Your broadband Internet connection should already be connected and configured using the instructions provided by the manufacturer and by your

Internet Service Provider before continuing with this installation.

NOTE: This feature is not available if using an 800 number to dial in to the server or in Freeplay or Coinless Coin

Op modes.

NOTE: Pages containing Java or Flash cannot be loaded on the game at this time.

NOTE: Text can be entered into a text field on a Web page by touching the field on the game to activate it.

Hot Topics™

Hot Topics™ games allow players to compete in games featuring regularly refreshed current events.

Setup

Games appearing as part of the Hot

Topics™ Menu are selectable via the Hot

Topics™ button in the MegaNet® Menu, which works in the same manner as categories in the regular Game Setup Menu.

MegaWeb™

MegaWeb™ allows the player to access the

World Wide Web through the game. Players determine how much browsing time they would like to purchase and then use the touchscreen to navigate the Web.

NOTE: In order to optimize the

MegaWeb® display, High Resolution should be enabled on all games except for Classic cabinets and cabinets that have been converted with the

MAXX to FORCE kit (which cannot support high-resolution mode). Additionally, the first time you enter

MegaWeb®, you may need to adjust the horizontal and vertical monitor settings to maximize the display. This will only have to be performed once and it will not affect the monitor settings of the game screens. To enable high resolution, press the SETUP button and select “System” from the Main

Menu Screen. Select “Options” and then touch the box next to “Enable Hi-

Resolution” so that a check appears next to it. Exit out of the setup screens and calibrate the touchscreen. It will now prompt you to calibrate twice, once for normal resolution and once for high resolution. To adjust the monitor settings, follow the Monitor

Adjustment Procedure in your game owner’s manual.

Setup

Use the MegaWeb™ Menu to set the cost per minute block of Web browsing time.



Time/Payment

When the MegaWeb™ button is touched, a screen will appear prompting the player to select the amount of time to purchase (see

Figure 29). The player can choose the minimum amount, a selectable amount, or the amount of all credits already entered into the machine. If no credits are currently on the machine, the player will be prompted to insert money when one of the buttons is selected.

At the end of the purchased time, a screen will appear giving the player the option to use more available credits or enter more credits if none are left on the game (see

Figure 30). This screen will remain for 20 seconds and the game will stay connected to the Internet during this time.

If another MegaWeb™ purchase is made, the screen returns to the same page the player was viewing prior to the timer expiring. If no purchase is made within 20 seconds, the game disconnects and reverts to the Player Menu. If the player exits the browser with time remaining, the remaining credits will be applied to amusement play. Time blocks used will be rounded up to the nearest credit.

FIGURE 29 - CREDIT SELECT SCREEN

The game will attempt to connect 3 times. If it cannot connect, an error message will appear asking the player to try again later.

The player will not yet have purchased the time and will not lose any credits. The timer countdown begins and specified credits are allocated to the Web browser upon successful connection.

FIGURE 30 - BUY MORE TIME/QUIT

SCREEN

If the connection is lost during the purchased viewing time, the timer will suspend and the game will attempt to reconnect 3 times. When the connection is reestablished, the timer will resume and the player will still see the page that was previously on the machine. If a connection cannot be reestablished within 3 attempts, the credits remaining in MegaWeb™ mode will be applied to amusement credits.



Home Page

Once the game connects to the Internet, the player is taken to a Home Page with standard navigation buttons (Forward,

Back, Stop, etc.) and a button that brings up a keyboard for entering Web addresses or search text (see Figures 31 and 32).

The Home Page also contains a search engine and various channel buttons (Sports,

Entertainment, News, etc.). Each button brings up a list of related links for the appropriate channel, as well as a search engine feature. The Merit button will bring up a screen with links to the Merit home page and TournaMAXX™.

NOTE: Text can be entered into a text field after the field itself is touched and activated.

NOTE: Java and Flash are not supported in MegaWeb™. Pages containing Java or

Flash cannot be loaded on the game at this time.

E-mail and Attachments

E-mail can be accessed through Web-based

E-mail sites using the keyboard, but only image and text attachments can be opened.

Attachments cannot be saved to the machine.

NOTE: MegaWeb™ is not available in

Freeplay or Coinless Coin Op mode.

MegaNet® Service Tips

Tip #1: Use the 6 Star PIN to cut down service calls. Set up your MegaNet® games to use the 6 Star PIN so locations can do an

Update From Server. If you notice from your operator interface connection report that a machine has not connected recently, simply call the location and have them Update From

Server.

How to enable 6 Stars:

Press the SETUP button (located in the coin box section or in the CPU section of the game).

2.

Touch the System button on the Main

Menu (see Figure 33).

3.

Touch the Options button on the SYS-

TEM MENU (see Figure 34).

4.

Touch the box next to Enable 6 Stars to make the check appear in the box.

Touch the box next to Access

TournaMAXX Update from 6 Stars to make the check appear in the box.

5.

Touch the < button once to return to the

System Menu.

6.

Touch the Set 6 Star PIN button.

7.

Enter a 1-6 digit PIN number.

8.

Touch X and touch YES to return to the

Main Game Menu Screen.

The operator can now access the 6 Star functions by following these steps:

9.

Touch the OPTIONS button on the

Player Menu Screen (see Figure 35).

10. Touch the Six Star button.

11.

AMI Jukebox Mega-Link Setup

In available markets, your Force or Ion Megatouch game(s) may be linked with an AMIpowered jukebox by utilizing the Mega-Link feature, which allows customers to view and play jukebox music selections directly from the Merit touchscreen. To enable the link, you will need a broadband Internet connection, a router and Ethernet cable(s) (if you are not using wireless). It is recommended that you set up and configure your router prior to initiating the Mega-Link. Once the router is configured, follow the instructions below for hardware and software setup.

NOTE: Some Force games do not support Super High Resolution and thus cannot be linked to a jukebox. These games include Force Radion and Classic, as well as Force conversions from

Slim, Select and EZ Maxx models.

Additionally, all games linked to a jukebox must be running 2006.5 software (V21) or greater. To determine what version of software your game is running, push the SETUP button inside the cabinet. The program information will be displayed in the lower left corner of the first screen that appears. Following the PG3002 will be the version running on your game.

NOTE: Megatouch games that are connected using the Mega-Link system must have the same level of software for proper operation. The software is designed to detect other levels of software in linked games.

For games running 2007.5 software (V23) or earlier: If a different software level is detected, you will receive a screen that says, “MEGA-LINK MISMATCH CALL ATTEN-

DANT.” This screen will be displayed approximately 5 minutes after you turn the games on. To clear the screen and continue playing the games, you must turn the power off, unlink the games, and turn the power back on again. If you want to link these games you must upgrade all games to the same software level.

For games running 2008 software (V24) and later: If a different software level is detected, the games will not link and an error message will be displayed when you enter operator setup. If you want to link these games you must upgrade all games to the same software level.

Hardware:

1.

Ensure that both the jukebox and your

Megatouch game are turned off and unplugged before making any connections.

2.

Unlock and open the jukebox door to locate the unit’s interior router.

3.

Insert the Ethernet (Category 5) cable through the access hole in the rear of the jukebox, then connect the cable to the interior router.

NOTE: If the jukebox is mounted to the wall, it may be necessary to temporarily dismount it to properly run the Ethernet cable.

4.

Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your external router.

5.

Wired connections: Connect a separate Ethernet cable to the Ethernet coupler on the outside of your game, then to the router. Plug in and turn on the jukebox and your game.

Wireless connections: Plug in and turn on the jukebox and your game, then continue with step 1 in the Wire-

less Setup section.

“locked” device will prompt a key (password) request. If the selection is your own network, use your password to gain access. If not, this indicates an outside wireless network that has been encrypted and is not accessible.

Unsecured connection: You will be prompted to enter interface information.

Accept the default values, or consult a network advisor to manually configure these settings.

Ad-Hoc Network: This is only for linking games, not for connecting to the server for MegaNet or jukebox linking.

PM0355-18

Custom Configuration: Touching this button will prompt the user to enter the SSID (network name) for manual setup of the wireless connection.

NOTE: Wireless Internet connection does not require Manual Configuration. Only users who have changed the default SSID during router installation should change the SSID. Consult the instructions supplied with your wireless router for more information.

NOTE: If you have chosen Custom Con-

figuration, you will be prompted to enter interface information. We suggest you accept the default values. If you want to manually configure these settings, consult a network advisor.

5.

Once you have chosen your network connection and the game returns to the

Wireless Device Setup Screen, reboot the game in order to ensure that your network is properly established. To continue with Jukebox Mega-link Setup, proceed with step 10 in that section after the game reboots.



Local Tournament Mode

NOTE: If you have dual tournament mode and are switching from TournaMAXX to Local Tournament Mode, you will need to perform an “Update From Server” before changing modes. To do so, touch the “Update From Server” button on the TournaMAXX Menu.

To maintain accurate bookkeeping statistics, it is also advised that you perform a Cash Settlement Collection before proceeding to Local Tournament

Mode.

NOTE: The transition from TournaMAXX to Local Tournament requires that the game be switched from ON-LINE to OFF-LINE mode. From the System Menu, choose “Options”, then touch the OFF-LINE button. If you are returning to

TournaMAXX, you must return to this screen and select ON-LINE.

Overview

The Local Tournament is a completely programmable tournament promotion system, allowing players to compete for a prize pool based on the income from premium-priced tournament games. The top three scorers, at the completion of a tournament, are entered into the

Winners’ List for retention until they claim their prizes. The game can be set to use cash prizes or redemption points depending on local laws.

Up to four tournaments can be programmed to run simultaneously. The settings for each tournament, including game cost, rounds, starting time, ending time and date, duration and prize pool, can be independently programmed to provide maximum flexibility and promotional potential. Each tournament can be further programmed to be a single, repeating tournament game or a sequence of different games, which change for each tournament period.

Players who achieve one of the three high scores during a tournament must enter their name, along with their own personal identification number (PIN). Should they finish as one of the three highest scorers in that tournament, the PIN will be used to ensure positive identification of the player. Provided an attendant is present, prizes may be claimed anytime after the completion of a tournament. Once the prize is awarded, it is noted on the Winners’

List and is accounted for in the bookkeeping statistics.
