suppressor, line conditioner or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

• Do not spill food or liquid on your system.

3. Setting-up the Game for the Desired Payout Percentage

There are three settings that affect the game’s payout percentage; the Coins-Per-Credit setting, Prize Dial
setting, and the Skill Level setting. See Section 4 for information on how to enter and change settings in
the Service Menu.

3.1. Coins-per-Credit (service menu setting 02)

This setting determines the number of coins that have to be inserted before a single play is initiated.
SONIC SPINNER can be set from one to nine coins per single play. The game’s default setting is one
coin per play.

3.2. Prize Dial (service menu setting 03)

SONIC SPINNER ships with three unique Prize Dials. Use the Prize Dial to get close to your desired
ticket payout and then tune the payout by adjusting the Skill Level setting up or down.

Prize Dial #1 Prize Dial #2 Prize Dial #3

High Medium Low

Average 15 tickets Average 7 tickets Average 4 tickets
At skill setting #4 At skill setting #6 At skill setting #6
Part#: 532-30-207 Part#: 532-30-206 Part#: 532-30-205
(PRIZE DIAL, DIAMOND) (PRIZE DIAL, CLUB) (PRIZE DIAL HEART)

3.3. Skill Level (service menu setting 06)

The skill level setting has nine increments and can be set from the easiest setting of “1” to the most
difficult setting of “9.” The skill settings will significantly affect the average ticket payout. Because
players vary at different locations, operators will need to monitor ticket payout and adjust the
difficulty level until they achieve the desired payout.
