3. INSTALLATION

SET UP MACHINE

Please take a moment to read the following before
you turn on your new game.

Unpack your game carefully. Be careful of the shipping staples,
they can be sharp. Your game is assembled and will not need
anything done to it. The keys are taped to Game Top Glass.

Open up the Ticket door and remove the other keys. Open all
doors and inspect for shipping damage. Ar e the PC boards in
place? Are the connectors seated? It is a good idea to “RESEAT”
all connectors as they may become loose during shipping.
Carefully walk around your game, and inspect the cabinet for
cracks and separation of the joints. If OK, plug in line cord and turn
game on. Drop in a few coins and play a game. If you have not put
in tickets, the game will say “CALL ATTENDANT-OUT OF
TICKETS,” if you earned tickets that cannot be paid out. The
“TICKET CLEAR” button in the ticket dispenser door will clear this
problem.

Your new game has carefully been percentaged. We suggest you
keep this setting for a few weeks and find out what your ticket
average per coin is. This information is available through the built ­in audit system discussed later in the manual.

(See page 13)

SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS

1) Be sure to turn the power OFF, or unplug the game,
before working on the machine.

2) Do not unplug game by pulling on the line-cord.

3) Use only a grounded outlet.
YOUR GAME MUST BE GROUNDED!!!

4) Replace line cord ; if the insulation is damaged in any
way, with one of equal quality.

5) Replace blown fuses with same type and rating.

6) This game is for INDOOR USE ONLY.

4. GAME PLAY

GAME THEME
& HOW TO PLAY

As the calliope music plays and the Circus Barker calls to the
player, Coin Circus adds a new dimension to coin drop
redemption games!

Coin Circus revolves around a circus theme, where a bright,

colorful, 3-dimensional clown is the center of attention in an
attractive mirror lined cabinet. He holds four arms which rotate
around in a circle and move up and down. Each arm represents a
different ticket value which are set at different difficulty levels. This
is the most unique coin drop game in the industry!

As the drum roll plays, the players can test their skill as they drop a
coin or token and try to have the arms “catch” the coin. Miss the
shot, and the coin drops into a “Bonus Wagon” . The clown
laughs and taunts the player to try again. Make the shot and light
up the first of a bank of lights on the “Bonus Wagon”! This adds a
whole new dimension to the game! Now, not only can the player
continue to test their skill, but they have 60 seconds to make
another shot! If any player successfully makes 5 shots, the Bonus
Wagon lets down a cascade of coins similar to the effect of a coin
pusher paying out a jackpot! The jackpot is paid out in bonus
tickets.

Coin Circus is completely operator adjustable for both bonus pay­out and individual arm ticket values. Its compact cabinet makes it fit
in any location and can be set for no ticket operation for those
locations that do not operate redemption! Coin Circus is more
than just a redemption game!

* Cabinet quality built with tongue and groove construction.

* For example, if 100 coins are “counted” since last Bonus Wagon payout; the # of
tickets dispensed would be 70 (70%) or 80 (80%) tickets. Keep in mind that when
you set the Bonus Wagon payout to a specific # (50 or 100) you are automatically
raising your % payout on the Bonus Wagon based on how “skillful” your players
are.

Illustration: Assume 2,700 plays for the day and the Bonus Wagon
drops 100 times­With Bonus Wagon set at 50 tickets per payout, a total of 5,000 tickets
will be “paid out” for Bonus Wagon.
If the Bonus Wagon were set at 70% of coins in (counted), no matter
how many times the Bonus Wagon is dropped, the # of tickets paid out
would be a total of 1,890 tickets (70% of 2,700).

(Example shown for Audit Table #2)

“10,000”.......

When the Audit number goes up
to 10,000, the Table # (2) will be
shown with 5 “Bars” and will
alternate with the actual Audit
value (10000) on the Six Digit

Table 9
Test for
“Bonus Wagon”
movement

This is the test for Motor movement and Micro switch for Bonus
Wagon.

1) When you press the AUDIT CLEAR Button once, The Bonus
Wagon will move (Open & Close) once.

2) Also, the letters of “on“ are briefly shown on the Six Digit Board
when the Bonus Wagon is opened.

3) The letters of “OFF“ are shown on the Six Digit Board when the
Bonus Wagon is closed.

Letters of “ on “

Letters of “OFF“

* Note: The letters of “on” & “OFF” illustrate the action of the ”Micro switch of
Bonus Wagon”. If the Display shows “on” after Bonus Wagon is closed,
this means that the Bonus Wagon Motor is continuing to run. This is not a
serious problem if the Bonus Wagon stops in the correct “closed” position
as the software program will stop the motor. If the Bonus Wagon stops in
a position other than closed; however, there might be a problem with the
Micro switch.

4) In addition the 5 pcs of the “Bonus Lamp” will chase and the
“Winner” lamps will flash in order to check those lamps.

8. OTHER

% Setting Advice Some locations may find that the factory settings are not suitable to

their location. The factory settings of the game should yield a payout
ratio of approx 30%. But your payout ratio may be either too high or
too low in your location depending on your players.

Please reference the following advice when you have a problem with
the payout # of tickets.

-Begin by checking Audit Table #8, “Average tickets per coin”.
(Refer to page 13 in “Audit Mode”.)
If this # is “7 [tickets per coin]” (28%) or “8 [tickets per coin]” (32%),
payout % is approx. 30%.

Raising the %

Lowering the %

But, if you get a result under “6 [tickets per coin]”(24%) for Audit
Table #8 and/or you would like to raise your %, re-adjust any of the

following:

- Increase Ticket Payout when no score is made ­Reset DIP SW 4 #44 ON/#45 OFF for 2 ticket payout -or-
Reset DIP SW 4 #44 ON/#45 ON for 4 ticket payout

- Increase Payout number on “Bonus Wagon” -
Reset DIP SW 4 #47 ON/#48 OFF for 80% payout -or-
Reset DIP SW 4 #47 OFF/#48 OFF for 50 ticket payout -or-
Reset DIP SW 4 #47 OFF/#48 ON for 100 ticket payout

- Increase the “frequency” of Bonus Wagon payout -
Reset DIP SW 4 #42 ON for payout of Bonus Wagon after only 3
wins

- Change Arm Leafs -

Adjust Arm Leafs to “easier” setting (see page 17)

But, if you get a result over “10 [tickets per coin]”(40%) for Audit
Table #8 and/ or you would like to lower your %, re-adjust any of the

following:

- Reset “Bonus Lights” to 0 after 60 seconds of non-play -
Reset DIP SW 4 #43 ON to extinguish the Bonus Lights after 60 sec

- Lower one or all of the “Arm Values” -
Reset one or all DIP SW 5 #51~58 (see page 12). You will need to
put Score Value additional stickers on Arm Buterates.

- Change Arm Leafs -

Adjust Arm Leafs to “harder” setting (see page 17)

- Raise the Coin Track -
Adjust Coin Track higher to make shots more difficult (see page 23)

Remember to repeat procedures in Test Mode and “Audit Clear” Tables #1 ~
#7 (see page 13) after making any of the above change(s) to get a true reading
on the results of your change(s).

22

“Tip” for the
“Skillful” Player

From time to time the operator may experience those players that
are more skillful or have “mastered” the game of “Coin Circus.”
Based on our experience the best way to discourage the player
from receiving a huge amount of tickets through multiple payouts
of the Bonus Wagon is to be sure that DIP SW 4 #47 & #48 is not
set at a specific payout # (50 or 100). See example and
illustration on page 11. In addition please check the
recommendations on the previous page for lowering the %.

Handling Ticket
Values of 2¢

* Review the results of these settings in the Test Mode function (see page 13) paying
particular attention to Table #8. The value should read “3” or “4” which is approx 24% or
approx 32%.
If you feel that this is still too high of a payout %, you need to change to 0 ticket payout when
no win is made. Reset DIP SW 4 #44 OFF/#45 OFF.

Lubrication

The factory settings and percentages (approx 30%) stated in this
operating manual are based on a 1¢ ticket value. Some locations
will use a 2¢ ticket value. In this case we make the following
suggestions prior to operating the game:

1) Reset DIP SW 5 #51 ~ 58 as follows (see page 12):
#51 OFF/#52 OFF (Arm #1 will payout 5 tickets)
#53 OFF/#54 ON (Arm #2 will payout 10 tickets)
#55 OFF/#56 ON (Arm #3 will payout 25 tickets)
#57 OFF/#58 ON (Arm #4 will payout 50 tickets)

2) Replace the above numbers over the existing Arm values using
the additional Score Value Sticker Set included (see page 25).

Once a month, you should lubricate the following:
