Introduction
Welcome to the Prize Farm cabinet. This manual contains the basic
instructions for installing and administering the Prize Farm.
Do not adjust settings, except as specified in this manual, without specific
advice from your technical representative. Please note that some of the
images have had customer-sensitive or transitory information blanked out.

Setup Procedure
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a dongle located on the front of the PC
assembly in the bottom cabinet of the game. This dongle must not be
swapped with the dongle from any other game. If dongles are swapped it
will cause problems with registration.
Before connecting the machine to a power source, first…
• Inspect the machine for any transit damage.
• Open the doors and ensure that all connectors, plugs & sockets are
correctly mated.
• Inspect the power cord for damage to the insulation or
cracked/defective plugs.
• Connect the power cord to the machine and to a standard AC outlet.
• Insert an Ethernet cable carrying a network connection into the
Ethernet port on the rear of the game’s cabinet.
• Ensure that both doors are closed and turn the unit “on”. A “Verify
GamePack” screen will appear as the system loads.
NOTE: After all the “load” bars on this screen are full, if the
machine is still on this screen and the message “Machine
Available In XXX” (where XXX is a number) is displayed, simply
open and close the top door of the cabinet to override the
countdown and continue with your installation.
• If you are shown the screen below, the machine is not receiving an
Internet connection. Check that all cables are inserted correctly (both
to the game and to the router), turn the machine off, wait 30 seconds,
then turn the machine back on.

• After this, the machine will display the following:
When this screen is shown, call
technical service at 1-800-523-2760
to obtain the Machine Authorization
Code.
Enter the Authorization Code via the
on-screen keypad, and then touch
OK.
• If this is successful, the screen
to the left will be displayed.
After this, the Zero Credit
Screen, also known as Attract
Mode, will be displayed.
Congratulations!
You have now completed the basic installation of your Prize Farm. With both
doors closed, the machine will show the Zero Credit Screen. With both doors
open, the machine will alternate between the screens shown below.

Administration Modes
There are three different ways of administering the Prize Farm. These are
BARTENDER MODE, which allows basic maintenance without direct access
to the interior of the cabinet; COLLECTOR MODE, which allows a wider
range of adjustments as well as the ability to empty the hopper; and finally
TEST MODE, which permits the full range of adjustments to be made.
Bartender Mode
With both doors closed, insert the Refill Key in the underside of the top
cabinet and turn it clockwise. Once you’ve done this, the following screen
will display.
Insert $1 coins via the coin
acceptor, coins will be directed to
the hopper and counted on the bar
which reads “Refill”.
IMPORTANT: An easier way for
the operator to fill the hopper is
by doing so in Collection Mode.
Please see that section for more
details.
Access to this screen will also allow
someone at the location to verify
and pay out any player I.O.U. that
occurs (i.e. a player wins money,
but the hopper is empty). The
amount of the last I.O.U. will appear
on-screen.
NOTE: The money owed should
be entered through the coin slot
on the machine, as doing so will
pay the player while the payout
is being fully recorded on the
system.
Turn & remove the Refill Key to exit.
6
Collector Mode
Unlock and open the upper door, then
the lower door. The screen on the left
will be displayed.
Insert the Refill Key in the underside
of the top cabinet and turn it to enter
Collector Mode.
Last Win: The last amount of money that a
player won.
Last Bank: The value of the bank meter the last
time it updated (i.e. after a win). This is used to
validate claims of non-payout by players.
Last Note: The last bill that was inserted into the
system.
Total Float: The amount the machine is
expecting to be in the hopper.
Last I.O.U.: If the hopper is empty and a player
is owed money, the amount owed will be shown
here.
Refill: How much money has been inserted in the
machine’s hopper.
Cash In: How much money has been inserted by
players into the machine.
Cash Out: How much money has been paid to
players.
Change: How much change has been inserted
into the machine.
VTP: Cash played plus any winnings that were
used to play games.
Notes: How much in notes has been inserted into
the machine.
Select your hopper float level at
$200, 300, or $350. Place $1 coins to
this value in the hopper bowl and
touch Topup to confirm the float
level. (Topup puts the “Max Float”
number into the “Total Float” field.)
To add coins without counting them
first, touch Dump. The money in the
hopper will then be emptied from the
machine, and the total amount of
what was in the hopper will appear
on screen under “Total Float”. Note
that number, then put all coins into
the hopper bowl (both the ones that
were already in the system and the
ones you wish to add). Touch Dump
again, and, after the hopper empties
for the second time, the number
under “Total Float” will now be the
total of both old and new monies.
Subtract the original number from
the new number and you’ll have the
dollar amount for the new money
being put in the hopper. Put all coins
back into the hopper when you’re
finished with this process.
7
To read the meters, touch the Read
Meters button. If more than 6 days
has elapsed since the last time the
meters were read, this will cause a
Smart Update to take place.
Touch Dump Stats to load your
collection statistics to a USB pen
(should be inserted into the USB port
on the front of the CPU section inside
the bottom door of the cabinet).
Touch Cash Settlement to view the
Cash Settlement Summary.
Collecting
To collect, compare the difference of
the numbers recorded during the
previous collection with the new
numbers under “Cash In” and “Cash
Out”. Subtract the Cash Out from the
Cash In number, and you’ll have the
amount of money made since the last
collection (less any amount put in
manually since the last collection;
this number will appear under
“Refill”).
Close the doors and remove the Refill
Key to exit Collector Mode.
8
