Merit PHRAZE CRAZE Sex Program
By Jim Kelly/Service Manager

Bensalem, PA
I also want you to know that this game is
not grossing big rroney in the New Jersey
Shore arcades because of its competition:
the hundreds of handle slot machines,
video i;okers, and coin pusher machines
("SILVER SKI", "SPLASH IX:WN", "PENNY
FALLS") which all are rruch faster and
simpler to play.
Merit has just developed a Sex Phraze
catagory for its latest video game. 'Ihe
two EPROMS in the phraze set are plug-in
additions for locations 9 and 10 on the
satellite 205 board. With this phraze set
there is an eye-catching attract mode that
advertises the new sex program.
It takes about 30 seconds to play a 3 card
game of "SKIL-0-BI?m" and about 6-8
seconds to play a slot machine. I have
placed "SKIL-0-Bit-n:>" in parks outside New
Jersey and the "SKIL-0-BINQJ" is rrore than
earning its keep. I have it set to award
30%-33% (7 to 8 cents for each quarter
played). When you get into redemption, you
have to give your customer rrore
merchandise value than he will accept for
playing skee-ball, for example.

equip-rent, sales, service, and supply
