2.5 How GameGate™ Works

The Xbox 360® and PLAYSTATION®3 are DVD based game systems. The owner of the Game Gate™ VU selects a game from the approved list of game titles and inserts it into the disk drive of the Xbox 360®/PLAYSTATION®3.

When Game Gate™ VU is not being played, the game console is turned off to minimize wear. To avoid the screen from being blank when not in use, the Game Gate™ VU will play looping videos from the micro-computer in the cabinet. The video’s purpose is to attract the player and also educate the player on how to operate the game. There are over 100 different games that are licensed to play on the Game Gate™ VU. Therefore there are many different attract videos, all of which cannot be loaded onto the computer (RMT); and many new games are released each month, each of which has a corresponding attract video. The owner must upload

the video les through a USB ash drive into the computer in the Game Gate™ VU for attract sequence purposes. Attract video les can be found on

When a player (end user) inserts money into the Game Gate™ VU, a message appears on the LCD screen prompts the player to select a 1 player or a 2 player game by pressing the corresponding pushbutton on the cabinet. Once the number of players is selected, the Xbox 360®/ PLAYSTATION®3 will power on and the looping video will stop playing. The video on the screen will switch from the computer video to the game. If a 1-player game is selected, only one game controller will be operable. If a 2-player game is selected, both controllers will operate. The amount of time the player can play is dependent on the amount of time set per credit by the operator and the amount of credits inserted. The LED matrix on the cabinet displays the time as it counts down to zero.

Fig. 2.5A

The player uses the handheld controllers to operate the game. When the timer reaches zero, the video switches to a “Time Expired” screen with a 20 second countdown (game is paused in the background).”If the player adds credits before the 20 seconds expires, the video will switch back to the game and the player can resume play, a new gameplay countdown is initiated. If the player does not add more credits during the “Time Expired” screen, the game system shuts off and the looping attract video sequece resumes play. In this manner the Game Gate™ VU is not a skill/ reward based system, but a simple rental of time to use the equipment.

2.6 Number Of Players Overview

Add Player

In the case where a one player game is in progress the second player controller will not operate. If a sec-

ond player wishes to join the rst player game while a

game is already in progress, the second player must press the “Two Player Game” button. A screen will ap-

pear and request that the rst player conrm this action by pressing the ashing “One Player Game” button

Adding a second player mid game will reduce the amount of time (in half, for example). So, if 5 minutes remain when the one player game is in progress, and a second player is added, the time remaining will reduce to 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Fig. 2.6A

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Remove Player

If a two player game is in progress, both controllers will function. A second player can leave a game in progress by pressing the “One Player Game” button. A screen will appear and request that the action be conrmed by pressing the ashing “Two Player Game” button. Many games do not allow a second player to just drop mid game, so Game Gate™ VU must reset the

game system and the rst player will need to start from

the beginning. Time remaining will increase (double, for example). For example, if there were 5 minutes remaining for a two player game, and the second player is dropped, the new time remaining will be 10 minutes.

Number of Players Game Limitations

Some games are only capable of one player. In the case where a one player game is installed in the Game Gate™ VU, the system should be set so that a second player cannot be added to prevent the end user from wasting money activating the second controller. See section “System Settings” for more information.

Fig. 2.6B

Also, some games do not allow a second player to jump in mid-game. In this case the game system must reset to add the second player. Time will still be deducted for adding the

second player, but the screen will warn the rst player that “Game Will Reset” if conrmed.

Reset Game

If a player is frustrated with the game in progress and wishes to start the game from the beginning, this can be accomplished by pressing the “Reset” button on the front of the cabinet. A screen will ap-

pear requesting the player to conrm this action by pressing the ashing “One Player Game” button.

2.8 Security Overview

Game Gate™ VU includes 5 different keys, for 5 different locks on the cabinet.

Back door keys – use for the back two doors, required for cabinet assembly and installation of video game system

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Control panel key – use for the control panel to change the retail game case and instruction graphics

For higher security on the control panel key, reach from the back of the cabinet inside to under the control panel and push the latch to the left. This will prevent the control panel from opening even if the lock is picked.

Fig. 2.8A

Game window keys – keyed different from the control panel key, the game window keys only allow access to change the game disk by sliding the door to the left (PLAYSTATION®3) or right (Xbox 360®). For higher security, insert the machine screws into the locks, which will prevent the window from sliding even if unlocked. We recommend to keep at least one machine screw in the left if using Xbox 360®, and right if using PLAYSTATION®3.

Fig. 2.8B

Coin door keys – there are two sets of two keys for the top and the bottom coin door.

3. SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Basic Setup Instructions

attract more players. You must use a high denition monitor with component video input to

receive an image from this external monitor output.

3.3 Connecting Game Gate™ VU to your Network

Game Gate™ VU can be connected to your Local Area Network (LAN) as well as the internet.

LAN Connection

LAN connection will promote on-site network gaming allowing multiple Game Gate™ VUs in a single location to play with/against each other via system link. In this manner, even if a location does not have internet access, the Game Gate™ VU experience can still be improved, such as with a row of Game Gate™ VUs playing together in the same building. The standards for networking a number of units is the same process as that when networking a group of computers.

If there are only two Game Gate™ VUs and no internet connection, a single Ethernet cable can be installed connect the two units for system link play (not all games support system link, refer to your software documentation for details).
