2.7 Mechanical Meters

The AXXIS 23/23 EGM is equipped with mechanical meters. These meters record the
lifetime financial records of the machines. The mechanical meters increment in
specified denominations configured in game software. If the electronic meters
recorded by the software fail, the mechanical meters can identify the financial state
of the machine by comparing the values to the last time the meters were read. The
meters are not meant to be, nor should they ever be, reset to zero. They should
always reflect the lifetime values. The following are the meters and their functions:
1. Coin In: Amount of money wagered on games on the machine. This meter will
increment every time player plays a game (makes a wager).
2. Coin Out: Amount of money won by players. This meter will increment every time
a player wins a game.
3. Total Drop: Amount of money accepted by the gaming machine (inserted coins to
drop box or bills/tickets stacked). This meter will increment every time money is
accepted by the machine.
4. Total Attendant Paid: Amount of money PAID to a player by an Attendant rather

than being dispensed by the machine. This occurs when the win exceeds the pay
limit of the EGM. This meter will increment every time an Attendant pays a player
for a win.
5. Canceled Credits: Credits won by a player, but NOT credited to the player window
on the game. Attendant pays the player money rather than the machine. Attendant
pays are based on credits won. This meter will increment every time an Attendant
pays a player for a win.

2.11 Bill Validator Theory of Operation

1. The bill is read by the bill validator unit, which confirms the validity and the
denomination of the inserted bill. If the illuminated bezel is blinking, the bill is
not accepted.
2. If accepted, the bill validator transmits this information to the Brain Box.
3. The Brain Box acknowledges this communication and sends a command to the bill
validator to send the bill to the stacker box or reject the bill. Once the bill is
stacked the credits are added to the game.
4. If failures or jams occur during these steps, the EGM will enter into an error
condition. In the event the error still persist, restart the EGM.

Appendix 1: Button Panel Spillage

In the event that liquid is spilled on the button panel:
The button panel will not be damaged by water ingress; and the liquid may penetrate
the cabinet, but will not cause any electrical hazards due to low voltage components,
and the location of the boards inside the panel and cabinet.
The gaming machine can continue to operate until cleaning and does not need to be
shutdown. To clean: wipe off the button panel glass and inside the cabinet (Appendix
Figure 1-1), (Appendix Figure 1-2), and (Appendix Figure 1-3).
