INSTALLATION SET UP MACHINE Please take a moment to read the following before you turn on your new game. Unpack your game carefully. Be careful of the shipping staples, they can be sharp. Your game is assembled and will not need anything done to it. The keys are taped to Game Top Glass. Open up the Ticket door and remove the other keys. Open all doors and inspect for shipping damage. Are the PC boards in place? Are the connectors seated? It is a good idea to "RESEAT" all connectors as they may become loose during shipping. Carefully walk around your game, and inspect the cabinet for cracks and separation of the joints. If OK, plug in line cord and turn game on. Drop in a few coins and play a game. If you have not put in tickets, the game will say "CALL ATTENDANT-OUT OF TICKETS," if you earned tickets that cannot be paid out. The "TICKET CLEAR" button in the ticket dispenser door will clear this problem. Your new game has carefully been percentaged. We suggest you keep this setting for a few weeks and find out what your ticket average per coin is. This information is available through the builtin audit system discussed later in the manual. (See page 13) SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1) Be sure to turn the power OFF, or unplug the game, before working on the machine. 2) Do not unplug game by pulling on the line-cord. 3) Use only a grounded outlet. YOUR GAME MUST BE GROUNDED!!! 4) Replace line cord ; if the insulation is damaged in any way, with one of equal quality. 5) Replace blown fuses with same type and rating. 6) This game is for INDOOR USE ONLY. 8 LIMITED WARRANTY American Sammy Corporation warrants all products to be free from defective materials and workmanship for a period of thirty (30) days from the American Sammy Corporation invoice date unless otherwise specified in writing by American Sammy Corporation.

GAME PLAY GAME THEME & HOW TO PLAY As the calliope music plays and the Circus Barker calls to the player, Coin Circus adds a new dimension to coin drop redemption games! Coin Circus revolves around a circus theme, where a bright, colorful, 3 -dimensional clown is the center of attention in an attractive mirror lined cabinet. He holds four arms which rotate around in a circle and move up and down. Each arm represents a different ticket value which are set at different difficulty levels. This is the most unique coin drop game in the industry! As the drum roll plays, the players can test their skill as they drop a coin or token and try to have the arms "catch" the coin. Miss the shot, and the coin drops into a "Bonus Wagon" . The clown laughs and taunts the player to try again. Make the shot and light up the first of a bank of lights on the "Bonus Wagon"! This adds a whole new dimension to the game! Now, not only can the player continue to test their skill, but they have 60 seconds to make another shot! If any player successfully makes 5 shots, the Bonus Wagon lets down a cascade of coins similar to the effect of a coin pusher paying out a jackpot! The jackpot is paid out in bonus tickets. Coin Circus is completely operator adjustable for both bonus payout and individual arm ticket values. Its compact cabinet makes it fit in any location and can be set for no ticket operation for those locations that do not operate redemption! Coin Circus is more than just a redemption game! Game Features: * Cabinet quality built with tongue and groove construction. * Metal Ticket Door and Deltronics ticket dispenser. * Ticket Resume & Clear button inside of ticket door. * New Audit System with Six Digit Board in Front door. * Additional Score Value Sticker sets included to customize arm ticket payout. * Leg Levelers and Recessed wheels for easy installation. * Shipped with either a .984 Token or Quarter Coin Mech. * All U.S. made components. * Patent Pending on certain game assemblies. 10 5.

Keep in mind that when you set the Bonus Wagon payout to a specific # (50 or 100) you are automatically raising your % payout on the Bonus Wagon based on how "skillful" your players are. Illustration: Assume 2,700 plays for the day and the Bonus Wagon drops 100 timesWith Bonus Wagon set at 50 tickets per payout, a total of 5,000 tickets will be "paid out" for Bonus Wagon. If the Bonus Wagon were set at 70% of coins in (counted), no matter how many times the Bonus Wagon is dropped, the # of tickets paid out would be a total of 1,890 tickets (70% of 2,700). 11 DIP SW 5 (sw51~58) CONTENTS / SWITCH NUMBER Payout value for Arm #1 (Man) : Factory setting sw51 sw52 sw53 sw54 sw55 sw56 sw57 sw58 5 tickets 10 tickets 15 tickets 25 tickets Payout value for Arm #2 (Elephant) OFF OFF ON ON OFF ON OFF ON 5 tickets 10 tickets 25 tickets 50 tickets Payout value for Arm #3 (Tiger) OFF OFF ON ON OFF ON OFF ON 10 tickets 25 tickets 50 tickets 100 tickets Payout value for Arm #4 (Clown) OFF OFF ON ON OFF ON OFF ON 25 tickets 50 tickets 75 tickets 100 tickets OFF OFF ON ON OFF ON OFF ON Location of DIP SWs 12 6.
