PRIZE SELECTION AND PAYOUT ADJUSTMENT

Please read the following guide as a good starting point for setting up of your new
"Time buster" machine. By testing different merchandise and fine-tuning the settings
you can maximize your game earnings.
* NOTE:
All the following recommendations are based on an approximate
payout of 30%. This payout is recommended for maximum earnings. 30%
payout means that approximately 30% of the game income will be paid out in
prizes. E.g. For every $100 in the cashbox, $30 worth of prizes should be
won.
The recommended game operation for maximum earnings, are as follows:
JACKPOT WINS – Approximately '1' win every '100' games. The jackpot prizes
should make up about one half of the machines overall payout.
JACKPOT PRIZE VALUE – Approximately 15 – 20 times the price per play.
JACKPOT PRIZES – Use good quality stock that is currently in demand by the
customers who frequent the machines. Try to use three different types of prizes to
determine which prizes are most desired by the players. You can then use the game
audits (page 15 – 18), to vary the stock accordingly. Varying the prize stock will also
keep interest in the game.
CONSOLATION WINS – Approximately '1' win every '10 – 15' games. The
consolation prizes should make up the other half of the machine payout.
CONSOLATION PRIZE VALUE – Approximately 'one' to 'two' times the price per
play.
CONSOLATION PRIZES – Use cheaper prizes or sweets for consolation prizes.
Cheaper prizes work well. E.g. If large Disney plush toys are used as a jackpot prize, try
Disney pens or keyrings, as a consolation prize. You can then use the game audits (page
15 – 18) to determine which prizes are most in demand.
