MEGATOUCH FORCE 2009 AND ION 2009 SOFTWARE

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 ad-

just the cost of a credit, as well as provide a

way to give players “bonus” credits for de-

positing 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 cred-

its and only tracks the smallest unit of cur-

rency. Operators can use this number to

FIGURE 3 - COIN-IN MENU

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 Chan-

nels 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 insert-

ing larger denominations, manually adjust

the credits earned per dollar value on the

Credit and Values Table. Coins may be de-

posited in any combination of values and

the game will automatically register the high-

est 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 ad-

justed 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.

MEGATOUCH FORCE 2009 AND ION 2009 SOFTWARE PM0355-19

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.

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.

FIGURE 4 - PLAYER MENU IN COINLESS

COIN OP (TIME AND PER GAME MODES

BOTH ENABLED)

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 15-

minute time block selected by the customer.

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.

FIGURE 5 - COINLESS COIN OP MENU -

PM0355-19

MEGATOUCH FORCE 2009 AND ION 2009 SOFTWARE

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
