station is controlled by one of the 4
identical boards and the free extra board
is there 'just in case' one board should
malfunction.
"Nudge" control and percentage adjustment
features are also included in the circuit
design. The flashing red 'winner' light,
on top of the unit, is an attractive
feature which can only 'add' to the player
appeal.
"TRF.ASURE ISLAND": The price of this
4-player rotary is just under $5500, and
it's price will somewhat depend on the
value of the dollar verses European
currency. It is about the same size as
"Spin-out". I particularly like the silk
screened mirror playfield, which not only
attracts players, but makes the entire
playfield look 'busy'. A 'pot' adjustment
controls the turntable speed, which
permits the operator to coordinate a fair
'win rate' with the type of merchandise
,that is being used.
A timer is corrbined with the 'nudge'
adjustments which lets the operator set
the time of play from 10 to 15 seconds and
nudge control up to 80% of the turntable
arc. If a player exceeds the time setting,
the arm will continue its sweep and play
ends.
The playfield and two shelf levels can be
loaded from any of the top 4 sections, so
as not to interrupt up to 3 players, who
could play while the unit is being loaded.
"Treasure Island" can be separated into
two sections to get it through a standard
doorway. F.ach player section is operated
independently, so if one station
malfunctions, the 3 other stations can be
played.
Other features include:
1) a tilt sound (with optional prize door
lock-out bars) to notify attendant of
player abuse;
2) appealing sound;
3) perimeter attract lights;
4) 25 or 50 cent play adjustment;
5) an attractive sign on the top.
