Game Play Theory Of Operation - Bay-Tek Lil Ticket Monster Service Manual

GAME PLAY THEORY OF OPERATION

The game is designed to give tickets after the player lifts,
then pushes down on the plunger handle.
Upon coin up, the solenoid on the left side of the wheel will
engage and provide a mechanical link from the plunger
handle to the wheel.
As the plunger is pushed down, the wheel will start spinning.
The solenoid will stay engaged, allowing the player to
plunge again to spin faster until a "Good Spin" wheel speed
is achieved.
Once the wheel is spinning at or above this "Good Spin"
wheel speed, the solenoid will disengage.
The "Good Spin" wheel speed is measured by the Wheel
Encoder Sensor located in the arrow in the right front of the
wheel.
This Wheel Encoder Sensor also detects the notched
edge around the right edge of the wheel to determine how
far away it is from the "Home Position".
Solenoid
The "Home Position" is kept track of by the Home
Home
Sensor located on the right side of the wheel.
Position
The Home Sensor (accessed from the back of the game)
Sensor
sees a reflection from a metal tab mounted on the wheel,
Wheel
seeing the reflection once per rotation.
Encoder
Sensor
This calculation of the Wheel Encoder Sensor and the
Home Position Sensor allows the game to determine
which position the wheel lands on and provides
that amount of tickets to the player.
