the following screen then represents the number of
credits given for each token. For example, selecting a
denomination of .25 will count four credits per token.
Selecting a denomination of .05 will count 20 credit
per token.
Upon cashout, the credits will decrease at the
rate per token. If there are fewer credits than the value

Game Selections
Set Game Options
If a CD ROM Program Version contains more than
one hold percentage for a game, the Operator is
presented with a one-time opportunity to choose the
active game. Up to 10 different games can be selected.
A help screen is presented upon entering Game
Selection.
The machine can be placed into service with all
option settings at default. Further configuration is
possible through the Audit Key Menu.
Audit Key Menu
The Audit Key Menu displays all electronic
accounting, diagnostic, and game configuration
selections. To view the menus, actuate the Audit
Keyswitch.
The navigation screen has four tabs labeled ACCT.,
DIAG ., CONFIG ., and RETURN TO GAME . Momentarily
touching one of the first three tabs will display the top
level menu for that group. ACCT. contains accounting
information, Win Records, and Game Recall. DIAG.
contains calibration for the touch screen and diagnostic
tests. CONFIG. offers selections to customize the
operation of the games or the machine.
For security, not all selections will display while
the Main Door is closed. Also, some of the settings
cannot be changed while credits are available. Except
for operations that use the entire area, such as touch
screen calibration and screen alignment, the top four
tabs are always active. The currently selected top
level tab appears highlighted and in front of the other
two tabs. Selecting RETURN TO GAME terminates the
audit key state as will closing the Main Door, selecting
EXIT, or actuating the Audit Keyswitch.

CONFIG.
Attract Mode
An attract feature is available. If the feature is
ON as shown by LED and switch icons indicating YES,
the Game Magic® begins an attract feature after a period
of inactivity with no credits. A banner (custom message)
can display during the attract mode.
The time before the attract mode begins can be
changed by touching “Attract Start Time.” A pop-up
keypad will appear. Enter the seconds of inactivity
before the attract mode begins.
“Banner Start Time” is the amount of time after
the attract mode starts until a message scrolls across
the display. For example, with the 120 second value
for Attract and Banner Start Time, the machine will
enter the attract mode after two minutes of inactivity
and no credits. After the machine has been in the
attract mode for two minutes, the Operator-entered
banner message scrolls across the bottom of the
display.
To enter a message, select BANNER MESSAGE. A
keyboard will appear. Touch “Delete” to erase the
current text. Enter a new message by selecting the
appropriate letters on the touch screen keyboard. Use
the space bar to add spaces between words. Extra
spaces after the end of the message improve readability.
Select “BS” (backspace) to erase the last letter
entered. “Shift” adds upper case letters and more
characters to the keyboard. Press “Enter” when
finished. Select SAVE to keep the changes.

Some specialty games offer a choice of
background themes.
Game Speed
GAME SPEED refers to how fast cards are dealt,
numbers are chosen, or how long the reels spin. Select

Double or Nothing
The double-or-nothing feature allows the Player
the opportunity to increase the total win of a game by
playing a double-up game after the original game has
completed. It is enabled during EEPROM optioning.
Not all Personalities support the double-or-nothing
feature. If unavailable, it displays as a shaded icon on
the Game Options screen.

Max Win Limit
MAX WIN LIMIT is a setting for the most credits a
Player can win from one double-or-nothing game. A
win that would exceed the setting will never be offered
to the Player.
Maximum Doubles
The setting for M AXIMUM D OUBLES limits the
sucessive opportunities offered to the Player to double
the win, even if the total win falls below the setting for
MAX WIN LIMIT.
Bet Options--Bet All
For BET ALL, the Player wagers the entire win on
the double-or-nothing hand. A win would double the
original win and may offer another double-or-nothing
game. Another win would increase the win to four times
the original win. A double-or-nothing loss would leave
the Player with no win and end the double-or-nothing

session.
For example, a win of five is wagered on a doubleor-nothing game and won. The opportunity to wager
the total win of 10 will be offered. Another win would
increase the total win to 20. A loss would leave the
Player with no win, and end the double-or-nothing
session.
Bet Options--Bet Half
For BET HALF, the Player wagers half of the win
on the double-or-nothing hand. A win would increase
the win by half and offer the opportunity to wager half of
the total win. A loss would leave the Player half of his
original win and end the session.
For example, a win of ten is wagered on a doubleor-nothing game and won. The total win becomes 15,
and the opportunity to play another double-or-nothing
game is offered. If the offer is accepted, seven credits
are wagered. A double-or-nothing win would increase
the total win to 22. A loss would leave the total win at
eight, and the session would be over.
Note: Double or Nothing is not offered
in all program versions.
Limit Options
LIMIT OPTIONS allow configuration of maximum
accumulated credits, maximum credits paid by the
machine, amount of money to be accepted by the bill
acceptor in between games, and the limit for Knockoff
operation.
Credit Meter Limit
CREDIT METER LIMIT is the maximum number of
credits allowed on credit meter. A win that would
increase the credits over CREDIT METER LIMIT will be
paid from the hopper if it does not exceed HANDPAY
LOCKUP LIMIT.
Touching the toggle switch icon causes it to toggle
between Enable and Disable. If enabled, pressing
CREDIT METER LIMIT activates a pop-up keypad for
entering a number. A value of “0” has the same effect
as setting the switch to Disable.
If CREDIT METER LIMIT is set greater than HANDPAY
LOCKUP LIMIT, accumulated credits may exceed WIN
LOCKUP LIMIT. If the player then chooses to cashout,
the machine enters a jackpot lockup condition.
Win Lockup Limit
WIN LOCKUP LIMIT is the amount of win for a jackpot
lockup. The process of enabling and setting this amount
is similar to setting the CREDIT METER LIMIT. A limit of
“0” has the same effect as setting the switch to Disable.
Collect Lockup Limit
COLLECT LOCKUP LIMIT is the number of credits that
will cause a jackpot lockup upon any collect.
Hopper Drop Amount
HOPPER DROP AMOUNT is the money paid from the
hopper upon a jackpot lockup caused by a collect while
the credit meter exceeds COLLECT LOCKUP LIMIT. The
process of enabling and setting this amount is similar
to setting CREDIT METER LIMIT.
Acceptance Limit
ACCEPTANCE LIMIT is the maximum amount of
money the bill acceptor will accept between each game.
Playing a game restarts the counter, allowing the bill
acceptor to resume operation. This setting may not
be adjustable in every market.

Machine Operations
Accounting
Selecting a Game to Play
The Game Magic® records accounting information
in electro-mechanical counters (hard meters) and
electronic counters (soft meters).
The Game Magic® multi-game format allows the
Player to choose from a selection of games. Selecting
the game’s icon presents the play screen for the game.
Help (instruction) screens and paytables are
available. EXIT will leave HELP or PAYTABLE and return to
the game. Selecting MENU returns to the Game Selection
menu.
Playing a Game
The Player must wager at least one credit to play
a game. Credits are awarded from wins, purchased by
inserting coins or bills into the machine, or through credit
transfers. The available credits display next to CREDIT.
When credits are available, icons appear on the screen
and corresponding deck buttons illuminate, indicating
they are active. Credits are wagered by selecting the
appropriate deck button or screen icon.
Upon completion of the game, winning
combinations increment CREDIT and WIN PAID
according to the game’s paytable. Once the game is
over and any winnings are accounted for, the Player
may play the same game again, select a different game
if available, or cash out all remaining credits. A REBET
icon is offered to repeat the last wager and auto-start a
new game. If a different game is selected, the credits
are carried over to the new game.
To collect, or “cash-out,” the Player selects the
CASH/CREDIT button. Coins are paid from the hopper or
from an Attendant, as dictated by the settings of LIMIT
OPTIONS.
Electro-mechanical Meters
Electro-mechanical meters are located inside the
machine above the monitor. They are numbered one
through five. The information recorded is in credits or
integers and determined by Market Code. These
