Game Play
Average Game Times/Average
Time Between Coin Drop
Two statistics are crucial in evaluating the appropriate op¬
tion settings on your Super Sprint game. First, check the
average game time which is shown in the Accounting In¬
formation screen in the Self-Test Mode. If the game is set
at the factory-recommended settings, initial game times
should average between 2:00 and 3:00. If this is not the
case, you should then check the average time between
coin drop, which can be calculated by two readings
shown on the Accounting Information screen.
To calculate: divide the total play time by the total games:
((No. of hours played x 60 + minutes) s- total games)
x 60 = seconds between coin drop. This number should
range from 65 to 90 seconds.
If a high percentage of your average game times are under
90 seconds, and your average time between coin drop is
under 50 seconds, the current game settings may be too
difficult. You should consider changing the drone diffi¬
culty to the EASY setting. If game times are still too short
after one or two weeks, try changing the track hazard dif¬
ficulty to the EASY setting.
Conversely, if a high percentage of your average game
times are over 3:30, and your average time between coin
drop is over 100 seconds, the current game settings may
be too easy. Try changing the drone difficulty and the
track hazard difficulty options to the MEDIUM HARD set¬
ting.
-- NOTE-
The previously mentioned recommendations
are based on one coin per play, U.S. currency.
Self-Test Mode
You can set the Super Sprint game to the Self-Test Mode
by turning on the self-test switch located on the Audio II
PCB. This printed-circuit board is mounted opposite the
coin door on the inner cabinet wall. Refer to Chapter 3
of this manual for detailed self-test information.
