General Description

1.1 Physical Description

Aristocrat’s Jubilee Mk4/5XR series of gaming machines have been developed to comply with existing and future regulations and to the same technoligcal standard as the Aristocrat MVP machine.

The machine consists of existing 540 Mk4 cabinets that have been modified to accept the high standard of the MVP electronics currently being produced by Aristocrat.

The Mk4/5XR Series gaming machines feature:

•Advanced, high-performance electronics based on ARM RISC technology;

•A wide range of machine options, including note and coin denominations, communication links, and progressive systems;

•A comprehensive security system;

•Modular design and construction;

•Simplified operation and maintenance procedures;

•High resolution video displays, advanced animation and graphics, and improved sounds and tunes.

The following table briefly identifies the various modules of the gaming machine. Figure 1-1 shows the location of machine modules.

	Table 1-1 Machine Modules
Machine Module	Description
Cabinet, Door and Top	The physical outer enclosure which provides for the location and mounting of
Box.	other modules.
Video Monitor	High resolution 640 x 400 pixels for improved-quality graphics. The monitor is
	the main medium for displaying game operation and status to the player.
Main Board	The Main printed circuit board (PCB) provides primary control of the MVP
	Video Gaming Machine. The Main Board is interfaced (via the Interface
	Board) to all the major components of the machine. The board receives
	signals from, and sends control signals to machine components. The Main
	Board houses the central processor and other logic components for game
	generation, video, security items, power control, memory storage, and
	communications.
Interface Board	The interface board houses an array of connectors which are used to
(may also be called the	electrically connect (via direct mechanical coupling or through looms and
Backplane).	ribbon cables) the various electrical components of the machine to the Main
	Board.
I/O Driver Board	The I/O Driver Board drives the lamps, receives inputs from the pushbuttons,
	interfaces with the coin handling system, and provides a battery-backed
	circuit for security monitoring (if required).
Communication	The Communication Configuration Board (CCB) 'piggy-backs' to the Main
Configuration Board	Board. The board is used to set up the communications channels of the Main
	Board (up to three) for the bank note acceptor and printer.

Revision 01

General Description	NSW MK4/5 Video Service Manual
LAB Communications	The LAB communications board mounts directly to the interface board. The
Board	board provides up to six extra ports for communications to various subsidiary
	equipment as required by the New South Wales Liquor Administration Board.
	The LAB PSU Chassis that provides power connections to the six interfaces
	is located behind the video monitor.
Mechanical Meter	The mechanical meter board controls the functions of the electromechanical
Board	meters that are used to record accounting data in a physical format. The
	signals for the meters are received from the Main Board via the Interface
	Board.
Logic Cage	The logic cage consists of a secure, steel cabinet that houses the Main,
	Communications Configuration, I/O Driver and LAB PCBAs. The section of
	the Interface Board that interfaces with the Main Board and the I/O Driver
	Board is also located within the logic cage.
Power Supply	The power supply assembly converts the AC mains input voltage into low
Assembly	voltage DC power for the various machine modules and circuits. Power is
	directed via the Interface Board to the machine components. The video
	monitor and the fluorescent lighting system receive AC power directly from
	the power supply assembly.
Hopper	The hopper acts as a holding unit for coins. When instructed by the main
	board, the hopper returns coins to the player. For each coin ejected, the
	hopper sends a signal to the Main Board. When the required number of coins
	have been dispensed, the Main Board signals the hopper motor to stop.
Coin Handling System	The function of the coin handling system is to check the validity of coins
	inserted, establish a count and pass signals for processing. The coin handling
	system directs coins to the hopper, cash box, or coin tray.
Bank Note Acceptor	The function of the bank note acceptor is to accept valid note currency and
	register the appropriate number of credits for game play. A note stacker is
	used to store the notes and to record monetary and statistical information.

Machine Keys

The gaming machine requires keys for the following locks and switches to establish effective security and correct operation. Refer to Figure 1-1 for lock and keyswitch positions.

Note

A key may only be removed from its lock or key switch after it has been returned to the locked position.

Bilock Locks

The gaming machines may be fitted with high-security Bilock camlocks and switchlocks with a unique "U" shaped keyway (see Figure 1-2). The locks feature the Quick Change Core facility whereby the keyed core of the lock is fitted separate to the lock barrel. Locks may be rekeyed in a matter of seconds without having to dismantle the lock assembly.

To remove a lock assembly, simply unscrew the large nut on the lock barrel and pull out the lock assembly.

1.2 Basic Operation

The functions of the gaming machine are controlled by an advanced software and hardware platform that provides operators with greater control over machine functions and simplifies maintenance and machine setup. New games developed with the software provide higher quality graphics, new sounds and a wider variety of features.

All processing is carried out on the Main Board. The Main Board contains the central processor and the game EPROMs which hold the software required for game generation and video graphics. All data and control signals to and from the Main Board are distributed by the Interface Board. The Interface Board also distributes regulated low voltage power from the power control system.

The machine has two major modes of operation: Play mode and Operator mode.

The machine is in Play Mode when the cabinet door is closed and locked, the Audit key switch is in the OFF position and there are no fault or lock-up conditions.

The machine is in Operator Mode when the Audit key switch is in the ON position. Operator Mode provides for a range of operational procedures, data displays, and specific machine functions. Normal gameplay is disabled during Operator Mode.

1.2.1 Play Mode

When in Play Mode, the machine:

•permits gameplay,

•operates security and audit features,

•runs self-checking and testing continuously,

•monitors and records gameplay activities continuously,

•displays comments and guidance for players, operators and technicians.

Basic machine operation in Play Mode is shown in Figure 1-3. Depending on the machine configuration, credits may be registered by inserting coins, bank notes or tokens. The machine has security features for screening the currency tendered to ensure that only valid currency is accepted.

If the currency is accepted by the machine, the playbuttons on the mid trim become active and flash. The player may then insert more currency, play a game by pressing one of the flashing playbuttons, or have the machine return the current credit total by pressing the COLLECT pushbutton. The player determines how many credits to wager by pressing one of the BET playbuttons, and the BET meter on the display screen shows the credits wagered.
