dress any potential problem that
may affect the performance of
our games and, when necessary,
we will update the games in the
field.
PROBLEM
We underestimated the number
of players who attempt to cheat
and damage our Ring Toss game.
These are serious issues to our
customers and, in line with Lazer-
Tron' s commitment to excellent
customer service, we have de-
cided to address these issues by
updating the games in the field.

button (prevents players from
inadvertently ending the game
when leaning over)

players from cheating)

The update kit will leave only
one small issue open. Occasion-

many rings. This is caused by the
aluminum lever on the sorter
