C.3.2.8. Coin Diverter

a. The software must ensure the state of the diverter is directing coins to the cash-box only when the hopper is full.

b. If software determines from diverter sensors or sensors on the coin path that the diverter is not directing coins to the position dictated by software, software must assume a diverter fault has occurred and act in accordance with event handling requirements as defined in section “C.3.2.15. Event Handling”.

C.3.2.9. Coin Hopper

a. Software must interpret sensor outputs to determine if one of the following events has occurred and act in accordance with event handling requirements as defined in section “C.3.2.15. Event Handling”:

i. hopper empty;

ii. hopper jam;

iii. disconnection/malfunction of coin-out sensor;

iv. extra coin out;

v. hopper runaway.

b. Software must interpret sensor output to determine if a valid coin has exited the hopper and update the coin-out meter.

c. In addition to accounting procedures used by software to determine the level of a hopper, software must interpret sensor output to determine if a hopper is full.

C.3.2.9.1. Refill Procedure

a. The refill procedure must be a software option clearly different from any other procedure (such as resetting a hopper jam).

b. As different casino operators tend to require different refill limits, it is strongly recommended that manufacturers allow the refill amount to be a variable parameter, configurable during machine set-up.

C.3.2.10. Reels/Wheels

a. The current position of a reel or wheel must be monitored by the control computer to detect malfunctions.

b. The software must interpret sensor outputs to determine when a reel or wheel does not stop in the position nominated by the control computer, and act in accordance with event handling requirements as defined in section “C.3.2.15. Event Handling”.

c. A reel or wheel must re-spin automatically to the last validly obtained play-mode result when the main door is closed.

d. Each microprocessor-controlled reel must spin at least one revolution per game.

C.3.2.11. Video displays - Screen Save

a. Any screen save function shall only be activated when there are no credits on the machine.
