The
operator
can specify
(via
the Credit button) any of the
23 Standard Settings for game
pricing,
each of
which
exhibits
a
message identifying
the country and the number of coins required and
the
number
of games
that the coin
requirement
purchases.

setting.

a Custom

program
defines
the
following
28 Adjustment
items
as "game—specific";
that
is,
they are unique
for each
game.
The
Game
Designer/Engineer/Programmer
team
members
work
together
to
use
these as
controlling
factors
for
game
play.
By
varying
the setting
of these
Adjustment
items,
it
is
possible to
"fine-tune" a game to suit
a particular
location,
enabling
the
owner/operator
to reap
maximum earnings, while
still
providing the players
with sufficient
challenge
to
keep
them
playing.
