This document includes instructions for using the Alpha game platform (AGP), which is available in a
variety of cabinets including CineVision, M9000, S9000, V8700A, and VT-200. The 4 Alarm Bonus game
is used in this document to illustrate features of the AGP that apply to any installed game.
This document may describe procedures for equipment that may not be applicable to all cabinet
configurations, or that may require additional components. Each regulatory jurisdiction may have
controls, policies, and procedures that must be followed. You are responsible for understanding and
abiding by the rules that apply in your environment.

Switching power on executes a series of boot commands. Depending upon the game, a splash screen may
appear containing a counter and logo similar to the following example:
85%
Figure 1:Splash screen
When the counter reaches 100% the screen blanks for 30 to 60 seconds, then the splash screen reappears.
After approximately one minute, the game screen appears.

Setup and Operation
The following is an example of a 4 Alarm Bonus game screen:
Figure 2: Game screen
Depending upon the state of the door, an error message appears until a
denomination is set.
If the door is open, you may see Pending Status Denomination Not Set.
If the door is closed, you may see Call Attendant.
The errors are self-correcting once configuration parameters have been set and
saved.
RAM Clear
The term RAM Clear refers to erasing game information stored within the battery-backed non-volatile
random access memory (NVRAM) and the electronically erasable programmable read only memory
(EEPROM).
A RAM Clear is required for the following conditions:
2-2
•
If NVRAM or the EEPROM fail;
•
If the operating system or game CompactFlash is changed;
•
If the jurisdictional ID EEPROM is changed
•
When new or replacement hardware is added;
•
When a critical parameter such as the base denomination must change.

NOTE:
Setup and Operation
Chapter 2
NVRAM
NVRAM stores all critical game information. It is primary to game recovery after a power failure. Located
on the motherboard, it consists of a one megabyte static random access memory (SRAM) device powered
by a battery when line power is off or disconnected. The battery has sufficient capacity to retain the
contents of the SRAM devices for a minimum of one year when no power is applied.
EEPROM
The EEPROM is a 512 byte device located on the backplane. The EEPROM retains its information
indefinitely when power is removed. It is used to store critical game configuration parameters that are
changed infrequently, usually only one time after a RAM Clear.
The EEPROM is also used to store meter data. This feature allows the main electronic circuit board and
ETX processor card to be replaced in the field without losing the meter information crucial to proper
accounting.
Copyright 2006 Bally Gaming, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
RAM Clear Procedure
NOTE: A RAM Clear zeros the accounting meters. Record all accounting information
before executing a RAM Clear.
For a RAM Clear, perform the following steps:
STEP 1.
Open the main door and ensure the system power is off.
STEP 2.
Open the logic door and locate the operating system (OS) and game CompactFlash (CF). The
OS is the top socket, the game CF is the bottom.
STEP 3.
Remove the OS and replace it with the RAM Clear CF. Remove the game CF for faster booting
of the RAM Clear CF.
NOTE: If Clear NVRAM is selected from the RAM Clear menu, information stored in the
EEPROM will be reloaded into the NVRAM. For accounting accuracy when
installing in a new installation, select Clear NVRAM and EEPROM.

EEPROM” choices.
STEP 6.
Turn the Attendant key to execute the selection. The RAM Clear status message will display to
indicate that the RAM Clear process is complete.
STEP 7.
The RAM Clear successfully completes when the system displays
“NVRAM Clear Successful.”
or
“NVRAM Clear Successful. EEPROM Clear Successful. EEPROM Verify Successful.”
STEP 8.
With system power off, remove the RAM Clear CF. Reinstall the OS CF, and the Game CF.
Configuration after a RAM Clear
When power is switched on after a RAM Clear, depending upon the state of the door, an error message
appears until a base denomination is set. If the door is open, you may see “Pending Status Denomination
Not Set.” If the door is closed, you may see “Call Attendant.” The base denomination and other critical
parameters must be configured from the System Menus before placing the machine into service.

Restricted Promotional Credits enables the accounting features of the machine to

Non Restricted Promotional
Credits
Enables the machine’s accounting features to record the disposition of credits
placed into the machine from an alternative source. The credits can be wagered or
cashed normally. This affects only the accounting meters.
Preferred Output Device
The machine can print payment vouchers by an installed thermal printer, it can
dispense coins from a hopper, the machine can provide for payment by an
Attendant, or payment can be electronically transferred to an account.
If the machine has multiple payment devices installed, the Preferred Output Device
setting preferred by the Operator determines the machine’s payment sequence.
The disposition of residual credits. The choices are Play, Handpay, Cancel; or a
combination of the three choices.
• Play: Credits remaining in the machine that have a combined value less than the
value of a coin dispensed by the hopper can be resolved by wagering them on a
separate all-or-nothing game. A win equals one coin from the hopper; a loss
removes the credits from the machine.
• Handpay: Residual credits can be removed from the machine by an Attendant.
• Cancel: The machine can be returned to a revenue state by the Player, where the
residual credits can be wagered normally in an attempt to parlay the remaining
credits to a value exactly equal to a coin; or the credits can be abandoned and
remain in the machine, available for the next Player.
Cash Collect First
If available credits include promotional credits, setting to Enable will dispense
payment of all non restricted credits upon a press of the collect button. A coupon
may be dispensed for restricted credits upon another press of the button.
Setting to Disabled will dispense a coupon (restricted voucher) upon the first press
of the collect button. Another press of the button will dispense payment for
unrestricted credits.

Contribution
The contribution is entered as a percentage of each wager. The example in Figure
102 shows a rate of 1%, which will increment the progressive one penny for every
dollar wagered.
Minimum
The starting value or reset value of the progressive. The example in Figure 102
shows a starting value of $5,000.
Current
The current value of the progressive.
Maximum
The progressive’s ceiling.
Change the current value of the levels by touching the Override Current icon; however, once the settings
are entered and saved, they cannot be changed without a RAM Clear. The Override Current feature is
useful when replacing an existing progressive machine within a progressive bank so that the value entered
for the machine shows the same value as the machine replaced.
Multi-Area Progressive (MAPS or MAPS X)
With MAPS enabled, Level 1 will be JP0 and Levels 2 through 8 will be NONE.

Progressive Controller Description
Slot ID
A unique identification number to identify the machine within the progressive
system. The slot ID number must match the assignment in the progressive system; a
Mikohn slot interface board (SIB) address, for example.
Progressive Denomination
The Denomination field is specifically for the progressive controller, and may not
necessarily match the base denomination of the machine. A machine configured for
multiple wager denominations may participate in a progressive system, but only at
this denomination configured for the progressive controller.
