Machine Modes

3.1 Modes of Operation

The gaming machine is operated in two main modes, Play Mode and Operator Mode.
Play Mode permits gameplay while the machine is fully operational and the cabinet
door is closed. Operator Mode allows the operator to configure the machine, view
audit information, carry out machine tests, and reset machine faults. Turning the
Audit Key ON switches the machine from Play Mode to Operator Mode.
The gaming machine may be configured to play one of several types of games, the
most common being spinning reel games and poker games. Although spinning reel
games are featured in this chapter, the explanations and information given can be
easily adapted to other game types. The options and procedures outlined are similar
for all game types.
