Credits/Pricing Menu

Quick Price Setup - This feature is only available in U.S. games.

Quick Price Setup allows the operator to make general pricing changes without entering the

Games Menu.

NOTE: If the game is set to 3 or 6 Credits for a Dollar, prices will display as Credits.

The operator can also use this screen to determine whether prices are displayed to players

as credits or monetary amounts, and set the cost of Fast-Play Amusement, Standard Amuse-

ment, Long Amusement, and Premium/MegaNET games. Touch the Use Factory Default

Pricing button to restore default values.

3 Credits for a Dollar: Sets each game to the following price settings:

$0.50   2
$0.75   3

MEGATOUCH FORCE 2009 AND ION 2009 SOFTWARE

Coin-In Menu

Game cost can be controlled two ways: by

changing the number of credits required to

play a game or by changing the cost of a

credit. The Coin-In Menu allows you to ad-

just the cost of a credit, as well as provide a

way to give players “bonus” credits for de-

positing a higher amount of money. On the

Cash-In and Credits Table, the “-” and “+”

buttons are used to change the number of

credits, while the corresponding price value

for the credits is entered by pressing the

Edit button in that row.

NOTE: The “Edit” button will bring
up a numbered keypad, limited to 2
decimal places. The Cash-In and
Credits Table is ordered, so values
must be set in increasing increments
from top to bottom of the screen. The
final two values, however, can be
entered as “0”, which is the equivalent
of N/A. As each row on the table is
filled in, the “Edit” button will appear

for the subsequent row below it.

Similar to the Cash-In and Credits Table, when

programming the Channels on the Coin-In

Menu, Channel 1 is set for the lowest value

coin, Channel 2 for the next highest value,

etc. The meter pulse, which is the highest

common divisor of all the monetary values

of the Channels, is independent of the cred-

its and only tracks the smallest unit of cur-

rency. Operators can use this number to

FIGURE 3 - COIN-IN MENU

determine the amount of money earned on a

game by multiplying the meter pulse by the

reading on the hard meter.

NOTE: Changing the values of the
Channels on the Coin-In Menu may

change the meter pulse. Therefore, a

Cash Settlement Collection should be

performed prior to adjusting the Chan-

nels in order to accurately reflect coin

drop based on the hard meter reading.

Adjusting the Channels will not affect

the Cash-In and Credits Table, which

performs a separate function on the

Coin-In Menu.

To give customers bonus credits for insert-

ing larger denominations, manually adjust

the credits earned per dollar value on the

Credit and Values Table. Coins may be de-

posited in any combination of values and

the game will automatically register the high-

est number of credits for the total amount of

coins deposited. Once a game is played,

any remaining fractional credits are saved

and applied to the next purchase.

NOTE: It is recommended that if you
are enabling bonus credits, that the
game be set to display in credits and
not money. If the game is set to display
in money, all money values will be
based on the value of 1 credit, which is

typically the most expensive credit.

The type of currency registered can be ad-

justed by touching the Change Currency

button at the bottom right-hand corner of the

Coin-In Menu. Touching the Default Set-

tings button just below it will return the Coin-

In Menu to its factory settings. This setting

can be adjusted (as described previously),

but will return if the game memory is cleared.

MEGATOUCH FORCE 2009 AND ION 2009 SOFTWARE PM0355-19

Coinless Coin Op Menu

When enabled via the Options button on

the Credits/Pricing Menu, the Coinless Coin

Op feature allows the operator to charge

on a per-game or per-time basis without

players inserting money into the game. The

total amount owed after gameplay is tallied

by the machine and collected by the location

owner. Location owners reset the game

with a PIN after collection.

NOTE: If you have set a tax fee on the
Cash Settlement Screens, Coinless Coin
Op Mode play will be taxed at the set
rate. If you want to set the tax
percentage at a different rate for
Coinless Coin Op mode and regular
mode, you should perform a Cash
Settlement Collection, change the tax
rate and then switch modes.

Certain features will not be available in

Coinless Coin Op Mode, such as MegaNet

content, Merit Money, Promo Credits, Free

Credits, TouchTunes® music and AMI

jukebox music. Pricing for these features

can only be displayed in currency values,

not credits.

FIGURE 4 - PLAYER MENU IN COINLESS

COIN OP (TIME AND PER GAME MODES

BOTH ENABLED)

Settings

Touching the Settings button allows the

operator to choose whether players can

play Per Game, Per Time, or both when the

game is in Coinless Coin Op mode. Per

Time pricing can be changed on this screen

with the up and down arrows. The

currency amount will apply to each 15-

minute time block selected by the customer.

Setting the PIN

Touch the Set PIN button on the Coinless

Coin Op Menu to program the PIN. The

number can be from 1 to 5 digits.

NOTE: The Coinless Coin Op PIN can
also be set from the Player Menu.
Touch the Options button, enter the 6
Star PIN, and touch the CCO Set PIN
button.

Disabling the Money Inputs

It is recommended that the money inputs be

disabled when the game is in Coinless Coin

Op mode. Unplug the power and signal

harness connected to the bill/note acceptor

and the harness connected to the coin

mech (if applicable) to disable the inputs.

FIGURE 5 - COINLESS COIN OP MENU -

MEGATOUCH FORCE 2009 AND ION 2009 SOFTWARE

Per-Game Mode

When players choose this mode, a running

total of the amount owed is maintained and

displayed in the CREDITS box on the

screen. The total is tabulated after each

game or function. The location owner then

collects the total amount owed at the end

of gameplay. If there is no activity for 10

minutes, the machine will disable and the

amount owed by the player will display on

screen. No further gameplay can occur

until the machine is reset by a location

employee using the PIN.

Time Mode

The price per 15-minute time block will be

displayed before players choose this

mode. During gameplay, the time remaining

and amount owed by the player will be

displayed on screen. When the time block

runs out, players can purchase additional

time. Otherwise, the machine will disable

and the amount owed by the player will

display on screen. No further gameplay

can occur until the machine is reset using

the PIN. If the player leaves the game

before the purchased time block has ended,

the game can be reset using the PIN.

Resetting or Freezing the Game

The game can be reset at any time using

the pre-programmed PIN. Once gameplay

totals have been tallied by the machine, the

attendant can also choose to freeze the

game to prevent more activity until the

transaction is complete. The Reset or

Freeze buttons are accessible through the

Options button on the Player Menu after

touching the Coinless Coin Op button. An

alarm will begin to sound after 3 failed

attempts to enter the valid number when

entering the PIN to reset the game. The

alarm will terminate when the machine is

rebooted, the operator SETUP button is

pressed, or the correct PIN is entered.

FIGURE 6 - PAY PER TIME SCREEN

To Enter This Screen, Touch
“Pay Per Time” on the Credits Menu

Rental Mode

When enabled via the Options button on

MegaNet® Installation Instructions

If you are connecting your game to the server, follow the instructions below. For wireless
connections, skip to Wireless MegaNet® Setup.

NOTE: If your game has dual tournament mode and you are transitioning from
Local Tournament Mode to TournaMAXX, the game must be switched from OFF-
LINE to ON-LINE mode. From the System Menu, choose Options, then touch ON-
LINE. Also, to maintain accurate bookkeeping statistics, it is recommended that
you perform a Cash Settlement Collection before proceeding to On-Line mode.

Dial-Up Internet Setup

For dial-up connections, you will need to have a modem installed in your game. If you are

using a broadband Internet connection, skip to Broadband Internet Setup.

Connect the supplied phone cable to the phone coupler. (The phone coupler features

a smaller port than the Ethernet coupler that appears alongside it). If the phone cable

has a ferrite attached to the end of it, make sure this end is closest to the game.

Secure the cable to the U-bolt on the back of the game. (This will prevent unnecessary

strain on the connector if the game is turned or moved.)

Plug the other end of the phone cable into a phone jack.

Continue with On-Screen Configuration Guide.

Broadband Internet Setup

NOTE: A broadband router is required in order to connect Megatouch games to
a broadband Internet connection. You will need either a broadband router with
a built-in broadband modem or a broadband router and an external broad-
band modem. If you are also linking games, you may also require a router with
a built-in hub or an external 10 BASE-T Ethernet hub depending on how many
games you are linking and how many available ports are on the router. (Hubs
are available from your distributor as a separate part, EC0030-01, or at your local
computer store.)

NOTE: Your broadband Internet connection should already be connected and
configured using the instructions provided by the manufacturer and by your
Internet Service Provider before continuing with this installation.

Turn off the game and disconnect it from its power source.

Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet coupler at the back of the game. (The

Ethernet coupler features a wider port than the phone coupler that appears alongside

it). If the Ethernet cable has a ferrite attached to the end of it, make sure this end is

closest to the game.

Connect the free end of the Ethernet cable to the broadband router.

Secure each cable to the U-bolt on the back of each game. (This will prevent unnec-

essary strain on the connector if the game is turned or moved.)

Tip #2: Turn the game off and on once in a

while, especially if the location keeps the

modem to do a manual reinitialization and

help ensure smooth connections. This can

easily be done with a phone call to the loca-

tion.

FIGURE 34 - SYSTEM MENU SCREEN

Tip #1: Use the 6 Star PIN to cut down ser-

vice calls. Set up your MegaNet® games to

use the 6 Star PIN so locations can do an

operator interface connection report that a

machine has not connected recently, simply

call the location and have them Update From

Server.

How to enable 6 Stars:

Press the SETUP button (located in the
coin box section or in the CPU section
of the game).

Touch the System button on the Main
Menu (see Figure 33).

Touch the Options button on the SYS-
TEM MENU (see Figure 34).

AMI Jukebox Mega-Link Setup

In available markets, your Force or Ion Mega-
touch game(s) may be linked with an AMI-
powered jukebox by utilizing the Mega-Link
feature, which allows customers to view
and play jukebox music selections directly
from the Merit touchscreen. To enable the
link, you will need a broadband Internet con-
nection, a router and Ethernet cable(s) (if
you are not using wireless). It is recom-
mended that you set up and configure your
router prior to initiating the Mega-Link. Once
the router is configured, follow the instruc-
tions below for hardware and software
setup.

NOTE: Some Force games do not sup-
port Super High Resolution and thus
cannot be linked to a jukebox. These
games include Force Radion and Clas-
sic, as well as Force conversions from
Slim, Select and EZ Maxx models.

Additionally, all games linked to a
jukebox must be running 2006.5 soft-
ware (V21) or greater. To determine
what version of software your game is
running, push the SETUP button in-
side the cabinet. The program infor-
mation will be displayed in the lower
left corner of the first screen that ap-
pears. Following the PG3002 will be
the version running on your game.

NOTE: Megatouch games that are con-
nected using the Mega-Link system must
have the same level of software for proper
operation. The software is designed to de-
tect other levels of software in linked games.
If a different software level is detected, the
games will not link and an error message
will be displayed when you enter operator
setup. If you want to link these games you
must upgrade all games to the same soft-
ware level.

Hardware:

Ensure that both the jukebox and your
Megatouch game are turned off and
unplugged before making any con-
nections.

Unlock and open the jukebox door to
locate the unit’s interior router.

Insert the Ethernet (Category 5) cable
through the access hole in the rear of
the jukebox, then connect the cable to

the interior router.

NOTE: If the jukebox is mounted to
the wall, it may be necessary to tem-
porarily dismount it to properly run

the Ethernet cable.

Connect the other end of the Ethernet
cable to your external router.

Wired connections: Connect a sepa-
rate Ethernet cable to the Ethernet cou-
pler on the outside of your game, then
to the router. Plug in and turn on the
jukebox and your game.

Wireless connections: Plug in and
turn on the jukebox and your game,
then continue with step 1 in the Wire-

less Setup section.

Software:

Press the SETUP button.

At the MAIN MENU, touch the Network
button.

Next to Internet Connection, select
the LAN option.

Next to (LAN) Local Area Network
Connection, touch Ethernet or
Ethernet Setup to advance to the
Ethernet Internet Setup Screen. At the
Ethernet Internet Setup screen, select
Automatic.

NOTE: If the Automatic connection
fails, contact Merit Customer Service
to set up a connection using the

ment username and password created
with your initial jukebox account and

utilized for Web site access.

NOTE: If a jukebox is not detected, you
will be prompted to manually config-
ure the jukebox information obtained
from your jukebox setup screen. On
your jukebox, go into “Service”, then
select the “Diagnostics” and “System
Information” options on screen. En-
ter the MAC Address, exactly as it ap-
pears on the jukebox, into the Juke-
box ID field on your Megatouch game.
(The defaulted Server URL and Agent
Name are also listed on the jukebox
setup screen.) Once the information
is entered, touch “Connect” once again
on the AMI Setup screen to proceed.

Wireless Setup (Ion Games Only)

Each Ion game comes equipped with a wireless USB adapter. Along with a wireless router,

the wireless adapter can be used to connect to the Internet and Mega-Link with your AMI-

powered jukebox and/or other games. The Linksys 802.11B router is recommended for use

with Ion software. In addition to wireless capability for up to 8 Megatouch games, this router

features 4 Ethernet ports for wired connections.

The software allows you to configure your own network, should you choose to do so.

Follow the steps below to set up your own network. NOTE: If you are using security,

only 64 or 128-bit WEP encryption is supported.

Press the SETUP button.

Touch the Network button on the MAIN

MENU.

Touch the Wireless button next to

(LAN) Local Area Connection to

advance to the Internet Setup screen.

Touch Configure Device and then

choose from the following options to

network your games:

Autodetect Network: The system

will find and connect to the nearest

available wireless network. This is the

easiest way to connect.

Search for Networks: Looks for all

available wireless connections. Select

a connection from the list to proceed.

Secured connection: Choosing a

“locked” device will prompt a key (pass-

word) request. If the selection is your

own network, use your password to

gain access. If not, this indicates an

outside wireless network that has been

encrypted and is not accessible.

Unsecured connection: You will be

prompted to enter interface information.

Accept the default values, or consult a

network advisor to manually configure

these settings.

Ad-Hoc Network: This is only for link-

ing games, not for connecting to the

server for MegaNet or jukebox linking.

NOTE: If you have chosen Ad-Hoc Net-
work, you will be prompted to enter the
SSID (network name). Create a name
for your network and enter that same
SSID name for all games that you want
to link. You will also be required to
manually configure these settings; ac-
cept the default values or consult a net-
work advisor.

Custom Configuration: Touching

this button will prompt the user to enter

the SSID (network name) for manual

setup of the wireless connection.

NOTE: If you have chosen Custom Con-

figuration, you will be prompted to enter

interface information. We suggest you ac-

cept the default values. If you want to manu-

ally configure these settings, consult a net-

work advisor.

Once you have chosen your network

connection and the game returns to the

Wireless Device Setup Screen, reboot

the game in order to ensure that your

network is properly established. To

continue with Jukebox Mega-link Setup,

proceed with step 10 in that section

after the game reboots.

Overview

The Local Tournament is a completely programmable tournament promotion system, allowing

players to compete for a prize pool based on the income from premium-priced tournament

games. The top three scorers, at the completion of a tournament, are entered into the

Winners’ List for retention until they claim their prizes. The game can be set to use cash

prizes or redemption points depending on local laws.

Up to four tournaments can be programmed to run simultaneously. The settings for each

tournament, including game cost, rounds, starting time, ending time and date, duration and

prize pool, can be independently programmed to provide maximum flexibility and promotional

potential. Each tournament can be further programmed to be a single, repeating tournament

game or a sequence of different games, which change for each tournament period.

Players who achieve one of the three high scores during a tournament must enter their

name, along with their own personal identification number (PIN). Should they finish as one

of the three highest scorers in that tournament, the PIN will be used to ensure positive

identification of the player. Provided an attendant is present, prizes may be claimed anytime

after the completion of a tournament. Once the prize is awarded, it is noted on the Winners’

List and is accounted for in the bookkeeping statistics.

Local Tournament Mode

NOTE: If you have dual tournament mode and are switching from TournaMAXX
to Local Tournament Mode, you will need to perform an “Update From Server”
before changing modes. To do so, touch the “Update From Server” button on
the TournaMAXX Menu.

To maintain accurate bookkeeping statistics, it is also advised that you per-
form a Cash Settlement Collection before proceeding to Local Tournament
Mode.

NOTE: The transition from TournaMAXX to Local Tournament requires that the
game be switched from ON-LINE to OFF-LINE mode. From the System Menu,
choose “Options”, then touch the OFF-LINE button. If you are returning to
TournaMAXX, you must return to this screen and select ON-LINE.
