The Game of Life™ / Setup and Configuration (APL based)
ATRONIC PROGRESSIVE LINK™
What is APL?
The Game of Life™ links use Atronic Progressive Link™
(APL) technology to link the participating gaming
machines. APL provides a very simple way to link Atronic
games to a local area progressive.
Setting up a progressive using the APL is quite easy
as the internal progressive system is operated via the
Commboard of the machine. By simply linking directly
from one machine Commboard to another, up to 16
The Game of Life™ games can be linked to a progressive.
The APL requires no external controller.
The APL is designed to be flexible and user friendly and
operates with one machine acting as the master and
the other machines in the link as slaves. The decision
about which game is the master is not pre determined
and can therefore be selected via a dipswitch on the
Commboard. More importantly if the master machine
fails, another machine in the link can be appointed as
the master via the dipswitch so no data is lost and
the progressive remaines active.
The entire set up of the progressive jackpot and
configuration for all the machines in the link is carried
out on the master machine via a connection between
a PC and the main board.
The progressive jackpot is automatically displayed via
a on screen meter (utilising e-motion™ dual screen
technology) and one or more plasma screens.
