        12

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.

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.

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.

FIGURE 6 - PAY PER TIME SCREEN

To Enter This Screen, Touch
“Pay Per Time” on the Credits Menu

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.

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.
