Basic OperationPlayer operation modes vary with the type of components installed and the setting of option switches. For example, a player might be able to register credits by entering either coins or currency, be able to accept win payouts in cash, or through house personnel with a hand procedure (book pay). Also, credits may be accumulated until the end of play or be paid out with each win. A player can obtain change of currency simply be entering coins or bills to register credits and then requesting a payout of the accumulated credit. The machine operates in one of two modes: play mode and service mode. The machine operates in play mode when the machine is switched on and the cabinet door is closed and locked. The machine operates in service mode when the door is open. See Machine Modes. In play mode, the machine operates with full security features. For example, it will lock up if the cabinet door is opened. All electromechanical audit meters and electronic audit meters function in play mode. In service mode, games cannot be played but the machine can operate the robot test, including the combination test, and the hopper test.

1.2.1

Machine Operation in Play ModeIn play mode, the machine: is ready for player operation, performs all audit functions which continuously monitor all play activities, continuously runs a self-test.

General Description


Basic Coin Operation Basic coin operation in play mode is shown in Figure 1.6. When the player inserts a coin, the coin comparator checks if it is a valid coin. If the coin is invalid, it is rejected to the coin tray. Otherwise, the coin passes the coin-in photo-optic module which checks the coin travel time and direction, and counts the coin. The machine registers a coin credit and displays the credit on the screen. Normally the coin goes to the hopper. However, if the hopper is full, a coin diverter sends the coin to the cash box. The cash box photo-optic module in the coin path to the cash box counts the number of coins sent to the cash box.Player inserts coin

General Description

Basic Bill Operation Operation commences when a bill of a suitable denomination is inserted in the bill acceptor. The bill is inserted one-half inch, either end first and face up. The unit initiates operation and, as the note is moved a further one-quarter inch forward, the unit automatically moves the currency over the magnetic head and optical system. Evaluation is performed and acceptance or rejection results. Upon acceptance, credits are issued only after the currency has exited the acceptor and been placed in the security stacker. A rejected bill is returned to the player. A bill should be read three times before being classed as unreadable. For additional details see Care and Maintenance. Hand payouts, for both coin and currency plays, are normally required by licensing authorities to be formally recorded and signed for by the player and the house management. The hand payout book also enables proper records to be kept for accounting and taxation purposes. The book should contain transactions which relate to cancel credit payouts and hopper refills. Audit Functions The machine is fitted with electromechanical meters and electronic meters that provide a comprehensive range of security features which include continuous monitoring. The electromechanical meters, or hard meters, located at the bottom of the top box, provide a permanent cumulative record of credits. The electronic meters record an extensive range of information enabling player, operational, and management queries to be answered. The audit data can be read whenever required and details are displayed on the video screen by use of the audit key. Refer to Day-to-Day Operations for details of performance and audit calculations. Self Test During the continuous self-test, an internal computer process checks the electronic audit meter data held in memory. The outcome of the process can result in further operations and message displays. See Machine Modes and Machine Self Monitoring for further details.

1.2.2

Machine Operation in Service ModeThe machine is in service mode when the cabinet door is open. In service mode, game play is not possible and the electro-mechanical audit meters and electronic audit meters do not operate. In service mode, attention may be given to the various units, and a range of audit and test operations can performed, including the comprehensive robot test process.

Functional DescriptionAll processing in the 540 Video machine is executed on the main board which houses the microprocessor and the EPROMs which contain all the software for game generation, and video shapes and colour. All electronic data and control signals, with the exception of the video data from the main board to the video monitor, are passed via the interface board. Power is also distributed via the interface board, with the exception of the 110 V AC to the video monitor, and the high voltage, high frequency supply to the fluorescent lamps. The function of the 540 Video machine can be divided into two general functions, coin handling and game generation. These two functions are described in the following two subsections.

General Description

1.3.1

Coin HandlingWhen a coin is inserted into the machine, it must pass through the coin handling system to either the coin tray, the cash box or the hopper (refer to Figure 1.6). The coin handling system consists of a coin chute assembly with the following components mounted on it:

coin comparator coin-in photo-optic module coin diverter cash box photo-optic module

The inserted coin first passes through a coin comparator which determines if the coin is a valid coin by comparing it with a sample coin. If the coin is not valid, it is rejected to the coin tray via the coin reject chute of the coin chute assembly. If the coin is accepted, a valid coin signal is sent by the coin comparator to the coin-in photo-optic module, and the coin travels past this module. The photooptic module contains two photo-optic detectors, A and B, which detect the coin as it passes. If the coin transit time and direction is acceptable, the module sends the following signals to the main board, via the interface board:

SIMVAL to indicate a valid coin Optic A to indicate that detector A has detected the coin Optic B to indicate that detector B has detected the coin

The coin then passes to a diverter which directs the coin either to the hopper or the cash box. The diverter is moved by the diverter solenoid which is controlled by a signal that originates at the hopper. The hopper is fitted with a sense probe which is shorted to earth when the hopper is full. Normally the diverter solenoid is energised and the coin is passed to the hopper. If the hopper probe indicates that the hopper is full, the diverter solenoid is de-energised and the coin is diverted to the cash box. If the coin is diverted to the cash box, it passes the cash box photo-optic module which sends a count signal to the main board via the interface board. If the player presses the COLLECT play button, the hopper is activated by the main board to pay out the number of credits registered. The hopper dispenses the payout coins to the coin tray. As coins are dispensed they are detected by a photooptic detector and the count signal is sent to the main board.

AM-1201322-02

1-13

General Description


1.3.2

Game GenerationBefore a coin is inserted, the main board microprocessor displays video on the monitor to attract the player. When the main board microprocessor receives the Simval, Optic A and Optic B signals from the coin-in photo-optic module, it initiates a game sequence. During the game sequence the microprocessor runs the game software which may initiate any of the following:

game video is displayed on the monitor, one or more of the play buttons are lit, the speaker sounds, the top box animation lamps indicate the game option or win.

As coins are counted, the microprocessor on the main board increments both the electro-mechanical meters and the electronic meters as required.

1.3.3

Fault DetectionBy continuously monitoring signals received from the other components in the machine, the main board microprocessor is able to detect faults. If faults are detected in the machine, it locks up, displays the relevant fault message and sounds an alarm. The following types of faults are detected:

coin handling faults, door open faults, metering faults.

Machine Modes

3.1 Modes of OperationThe Aristocrat 540 Video Machine operates in two principal modes, play mode and service mode, and a range of functions can occur within each mode. The play mode functions provide for game play, player service, audit investigations, and the notification of operating conditions. During service mode the focus is on machine maintenance and refill operations. Games cannot be played and the machine is able to operate the robot test, including the combination and the hopper test.

3.2 Play Mode (Door Closed)The Aristocrat gaming machine functions in play mode when the cabinet door is closed and locked. In play mode, the machine meets the following requirements: player operation and player service, self-monitoring tests and security notifications, audit meter services, which continuously monitor all play activities and can display details of operations on request.

3.2.1 Player OperationWhen the machine is switched on and the cabinet door is closed and locked, the machine enters play mode and the screen displays an INSERT COIN message. The fluorescent tubes and the play buttons light up, and the machine automatically proceeds with a self-test procedure. Players use the programmed games and attempt to accumulate credits and win prizes after entering coins or bills. The games are played by pressing the control buttons, or pulling the handle, and by responding to the directions provided by the game. Credits are accumulated and then paid out by coin or redeemable ticket, on request or through a hand pay procedure.

AM-1201322-02

Machine Modes


Simulated Spinning Reel Games When a player inserts a coin or bill into the machine, the appropriate credits are registered and add to the total displayed at the top left corner of the screen. All play buttons that are within the accumulated credit level now begin to flash. The player chooses one, some or all of the highlighted buttons to indicate the bet and any game options. The game is then commenced by pressing a button or pulling the handle. At this time, the total number of credits to be played in the game is displayed at the top right corner of the screen. A game being played will show various video displays including a simulation of spinning reels with game symbols. When the spinning reels come to rest, the position of the symbols may result is a winning combination, as shown on the score card usually on the top box. A winning message flashes on the screen and the machine plays the win tune. The screen displays the amount of the win together with a new credit total that includes the win amount. When the machine is able to commence the next game, the play buttons flash and the screen displays a MAKE A BET message, the player makes choices, and game play continues. Game Features A player can automatically collect accumulated credits up to a pre-set maximum by pressing the COLLECT button. When the button is pressed, the machine prevents functions such as game play and entry of coins or bills until the hopper has dispensed coins or a redeemable tickets has been output into the chip tray. The hopper photo-optic detector counts the coins being dispensed. The player is informed of the counts on the screen as the PAY number is incremented and the CREDIT number is decremented to zero. However, should the player press the COLLECT button and the players credit is more than the limit for automatic hopper pay, or the hopper has insufficient coins to make the automatic pay, the machine locks up, displays the message CALL ATTENDANT - CANCEL CREDIT OF NNNNNNNN, and emits chimes. House personnel then carry out a manual or book pay process for the total amount of the credits. The details are recorded in the House payout book and the machine is restarted by using the J key. The J key restart cancels the players total credits, and the amount accumulates in the CANCELLED CREDIT electromechanical meter and electronic meters. See Day to Day Operations - Cancelling Credit.

Types of Games Aristocrat 540 Video machines usually provide one of the three game types: multiplier, multiline, and multiline-multiplier. Some games also have a double-up gamble feature among other variations.

0XOWLSOLHU A multiplier game allows the player to invest more than one credit per game on a single winning line. Each additional credit invested increases the value of the prize. For example, five credits invested multiplies the value of the prizes by five in the one game.

Figure 3.1 Example of Multiplier Game

0XOWLOLQH A multiline game allows the player to specify more than one line on which to bet for a winning combination.

Figure 3.2 Example of Multiline Game

0XOWLOLQHPXOWLSOLHU A multiline-multiplier game allows the player to specify more than one line on which to bet for a winning combination and also allows more than a one credit bet on each of the lines. %X\D3D\ The Buy-a-Pay gamble feature is a game variation whereby players are provided with higher prize scales for increases in credits wagered. 'RXEOHXS *DPEOH A double-up gamble feature offers the player the chance to double a win. Each time a winning combination occurs, the screen displays the credits won followed by the double-up feature. The player may choose to take the credits won or press the GAMBLE button. The double-up feature allows the player to bet on a draw for a red or black card. If the player wins the draw, the original win doubles. If the player loses, the win is cancelled.

*DPH 9DULDWLRQV The range of game types and game variations continues to expand. Aristocrat Leisure Industries has a wide variety in operation throughout the world and is dedicated to developing game products for greater player satisfaction, using the most advanced technologies.

3.2.2 Machine Self-MonitoringSelf-test When the machine is switched on there is an automatic self test initiated which continues as long as the machine is in play mode. During self-test, the machine checks the electronic audit meter data held in memory. The memory holds three copies of the electronic audit meter data in areas titled METER SET 1, METER SET 2 and METER SET 3. If the data in one meter set does not match the contents in the other two sets, the data of any two identical sets overwrites the single set. If all three meter sets do not match, the screen displays the message METERING ERROR. This error message indicates a serious machine malfunction and a repair call to the local service organisation is necessary. To clear this error: 1. Display the audit meter screen: a. b. Insert the audit key (A) in the audit key switch. Turn the key 90 clockwise and leave it turned on. This action calls up the first audit meter screen.

Simultaneously press the three leftmost buttons on the main board tray panel, ROB/HOP RESET (B), AUX1 (C) and MEM RESET (D). This will cause all meters to be reset to zero. Close the door.

To return the machine to play mode, turn the J key and the audit key anticlockwise to their original positions. An internal battery backs up the memory so that data is always retained even when there is a power interruption or failure. The internal memory for the audit meters has an alternate battery power source so that data is always retained even after power interruption or failure. Security in Play Mode When the machine is in play mode, a variety of security features are in effect: Coin Comparator When a player inserts a coin, the comparator carries out a scan and compares the image to a standard coin held in the unit. The comparator rejects any invalid coins and diverts them to the coin tray. Coin-in Photo-optic Module After a coin passes the coin comparator, it must travel to the coin-in photo-optic module in less than 350 milliseconds otherwise the machine does not register a coin credit. If this photo-optic module detects a coin moving in reverse to its normal path of travel, the screen displays a YO-YO-YO-YO message and the COIN IN STRINGING electronic audit meter increments by one. If the coin is valid, the machine displays the appropriate credits on the screen, and increments the COINS IN electronic audit meter and the CREDITS BET audit meters. Depending on the current hopper coin level, the valid coin goes to either the cash box or the hopper. A coin that goes to the cash box passes the cash box photo-optic module which increments the COINS IN electromechanical audit meters and the COIN DROP and GROSS DROP electronic audit meters. After the first game has been played, and if the hopper is not full, all subsequent coins go to the hopper until the coins in the hopper reach the level detector probe. At this stage, coins divert to the cash box. Hopper Should a player press the COLLECT button and the hopper is found to be empty, the machine locks up and the screen displays an OUT OF COINS message. Hopper Photo-optic Detector During payout, the hopper disc rotates and deposits coins onto the coin runner where they are counted by the hopper photo-optic detector. After passing the detector, they are deposited in the coin tray for the player to collect. A hopper payout increments the CREDITS PAID OUT audit meter. The player is informed

on the screen as the PAY number is incremented and the CREDIT number is decremented. Hand payouts increment either the CANCELLED CREDITS meter or the JACKPOT COINS meter. Both increment the total of the HAND PAYS electromechanical meter. Door Switch Should the cabinet door be opened, the machine sounds an alarm, the screen displays the DOOR OPEN message, and the MAIN DOOR ACCESS electronic audit meter increments. Bill Acceptor The Bill Acceptor consists of an optical scanning unit and bill stacker which are contained in a high-security housing. The unit achieves a high percentage of acceptances, and a second-level scanning option can be initiated for highdenomination bills. During operation, the acceptor registers acceptances or rejections, and confirms the return or the stacking of bills. Bills accepted increment the BILLS IN electromechanical audit meter and the GROSS DROP audit meter. A lock up is initiated when collection of credits is occurring, when accumulated credits exceed a limit set during configuration set up, and when malfunction conditions are detected. See Controls and Indicators in this section. Light Tower Two-tier light towers are units able to provide an additional level of security, customer service, and house control. The attention and alert conditions monitored can vary with model specifications and jurisdictions. Typical alert conditions include cabinet door open, SERVICE (CHANGE) button pressed, jackpot condition, and bill acceptor stacker full. See Machine Modes and also Machine Conditions.

3.2.3 Audit FunctionsThe machine is fitted with electro-mechanical meters and electronic meters that form part of the comprehensive security system by recording the results of machine operations and continuous machine monitoring. The six electromechanical meters, or hard meters, located at the bottom of the top box, provide a permanent and cumulative record of essential counts. The electronic meters, or soft meters, are displayed on the video screen by use of the audit key. The electronic meters keep an accurate record of numerous machine operations, analysis of player activity, and a brief history of past games.

Electromechanical Meters The electromechanical meters are a set of counters that record the basic audit data and are labelled CREDITS BET, CREDITS WON, COIN DROP, HAND PAYS, BILLS IN, and CREDIT COLLECT (See Installation for more details). They are non-resettable and are cumulative for the life of the machine. On delivery of a machine, these meters do not read zero because of factory tests. Prior to game play, after all installation checks and tests have been completed, the House should record the numbers displayed as the starting point for audit and control. NoteMeter terminology, purpose and accumulation control can vary between locations, jurisdictions and machine models. Some assignments are shown below.

Electronic Meters The electronic meters provide a comprehensive record of the machines use and game statistics. NoteElectronic Meters The storage and control processes for electronic meters can vary between locations, jurisdictions and program/game versions. Example schemes are shown below.

These meters record a variety of details about machine operation, details of game play and player interaction, a variety of statistical counts, and information on security events and past games. Players have the assurance that any win or pay situation for previous games played can be on record. A typical process to access the electronic meters follows: 1. Insert the audit key (A-key) in the audit key switch, turn the key 90 clockwise and leave it turned on. This action calls up the first audit meter screen. To call up the second screen, press the SERVICE button on the player button panel once. The screen displays additional details such as lines played in all games to date. To call up the third screen, press the SERVICE button a second time. The screen displays such items as cumulative gamble statistics. To call up the fourth screen, press the SERVICE button a third time. The screen displays further details such as last game played. To call up the fifth and additional screens, continue to press the SERVICE button. When all screen displays have been actioned, a further press of the SERVICE button will return the program to first audit meter screen. To return the machine to play mode, turn the audit key 90 anticlockwise and remove it.

Machine Condition Indicators The bill acceptor operational status is indicated in a number of ways, as follows (variations for jurisdictions and machine models occur):

information about last accepted bills, count of bills accepted, details of changemode operations, etc. are contained in the bill history screen which can be accessed in audit mode. See Machine Modes. the light tower (if fitted) signals 5 consecutive rejects with a slow flash in the top tier. This condition is reset when a normal bill is accepted, the jackpot key is turned, or the machine audit mode is entered. the top tier of the light tower will slow flash should the bill acceptor stacker become full or a fault be detected. error and machine conditions details are displayed on the video screen should one of the abnormal machine condition occur. See Machine Conditions in the Owner / Operator Manual.

3.3.3 Bill Acceptor (Model Type CBV IVO)The bill acceptor controls consist of DIP switches and the program data card. Adjustments can be made to currency acceptance performance by using the video level adjustment procedure, and to the currency channel position using the bezel template. Bill Acceptor Video Level Adjustment The bill acceptor aims to achieve a high acceptance level of greater than 95% performance (in up to 3 read attempts). However, over time, performance can continue to deteriorate towards 70%, requiring a procedure to adjust the internal video level and re-establish the original performance level. This adjustment procedure requires a sheet of white, copy-machine paper to be cut to the approximate size of any bill and the following steps carried out (see additional details in Bill Acceptor later in this publication):

Disconnect the power to the bill acceptor, Depress and hold the service switch located near the DIP switches, Power up the acceptor keeping the service switch depressed, Insert the white paper cut-out into the currency channel, The acceptor will slowly step the paper in and out of the channel.

The video level adjustment process is complete when the paper is clear of the channel. Bezel Template The bill acceptor has been thoroughly tested before delivery and is proper working order. However it may become necessary at some time to reset the mounting position and currency channel position through the use of the bezel template. The operations are outlined in the section detailing the Bill Acceptor in this publication.

3.3.4 Setting Clock and AlarmThe alarm, time and date can be set in the following sequence of fields: Alarm : hour, minute, second. Time : hour, minute, second. Date : day, month, year. If the alarm is not required, set it to a time when the machine will not be in use, for example, 3:00 am. To set the alarm, time and date: 1. 2. Insert the audit key into the audit key switch and turn the key 90 clockwise. The screen displays the first electronic audit meter screen. Open the cabinet door.
