5. Adjustment of Payout Rate
About payout ratio
In this game machine, there are two types of payout rate. One indicates the ratio of coins dispensed
from the hopper to the number of inserted coins (intermediate payout ratio). The other is the ratio of
the number of coins falling into the coin payout outlet to the number of coins dispensed from the
hopper (field payout ratio).
By setting/changing these payout ratios, the final payout rate can be adjusted.
Final payout rate = Intermediate payout rate x Field payout rate
(Example 30% = 275% [factory setting] x 11%)
1) Adjusting the DIP switches (adjustment of intermediate pay-
out rate)
The intermediate payout rate can be adjusted by setting/changing the DIP switch positions.
Intermediate payout rate = Number of coins dispensed from hopper Number of inserted coins
i
The intermediate payout rate should be used only as a guideline figure.

Regarding the setting of the payout rate with the DIP switches, refer to the explanation of the setting
of DIP switches B in “6. DIP Switch Setting Chart.”
2) Adjusting the front edge (adjustment of field payout rate)
The field payout rate can be adjusted by raising or lowering the front edge.
(For the adjustment of the front edge, refer to page 13.)
i
Raising the front edge decreases the field payout rate.
i
Lowering the front edge increases the field payout rate.
Field payout rate = Number of coins to coin payout outlet Number of coins dispensed from
hopper

The guideline field payout rate can be measured by using the Auto Text in Test Mode 6 described
in “9. Test Mode.”
* For more precise measurement of field payout rate, refer to “4) Procedure for measuring the field
payout rate.”
* The payout rate has been provisionally set at the factory. Be sure to adjust the settings to match
the business style of your facility.
