Permanent Bonus.

Add one bonus ticket for every 1 - 8 ticket(s) dispensed. For example if the Dip Switch is set for 3, the machine will dispense one bonus ticket every third ticket. A Bonus Lamp Output allows a connection of a Bonus Lamp*, which (if connected) will be continuously flashing to indicate that the machine dispenses bonus tickets.

This mode provides a special incentive for the players to play. It is designed to increase the traffic in your center at times when the machines are under utilized. This feature supported by a simple advertising such as "WIN MORE TICKETS ON MONDAY NIGHTS - WIN BONUS TICKETS ON ALL REDEMPTION GAMES !" (posters) can substantially improve traffic in your center.

SUGGESTION: An orange trailer light mounted near the ticket dispenser labeled "Win tickets when flashing" may be used as a Bonus Lamp. For your convenience, this mode can be preset by the dip switch and then enabled or disabled by a single toggle switch connected to the Opto Isolated Game Over Input (see description of I/O).

Timed Bonus.

This mode provides a special incentive for the players to play. A Bonus Lamp connected to the TicketFlex Maximizer will start flashing and attract the attention of the players every 5 minutes for duration of 1 minute. While the bonus lamp is flashing the players will receive one bonus ticket for every 1 - 8 ticket(s) dispensed as adjusted by the Dip Switch. For example if the Dip Switch is set for 3, the machine will dispense one extra ticket every third ticket while the Bonus Lamp is flashing.

Timed Bonus introduces a new concept in ticket dispensing and it is very highly recommended. Designed as truly inexpensive way to significantly enhance the machine performance especially when this mode is used in combination with the BONUS START mode. If supported by a simple advertising i.e. WIN TICKETS WHEN ORANGE LIGHT IS FLASHING (posters) the players soon realize the benefit. The Bonus Light prompts the players to play. Even older games were completely revitalized.

SUGGESTION: An orange trailer light mounted near the ticket dispenser labeled "Win tickets when flashing" may be used as a Bonus Lamp. For your convenience, this mode can be preset by the dip switch and then enabled or disabled by a single toggle switch connected to the Opto Isolated Game Over Input (see description of I/O).

Bonus Start (requires connection of Game Over signal).

Dispense 1 - 8 ticket(s) at the start of the game. The subsequent tickets are than dispensed as per adjustment of the machine. This is an excellent feature in situations where players are not experienced enough to earn fair amount of tickets. All players will be rewarded at the beginning of the game regardless of their skills. For example, adjusting the Dip Switch on 5 will make the machine dispense 5 tickets at the beginning of each game.

Jackpot Monitor (available only in continuous input and continuous output operation)

Jackpot Monitor Mode allows the operator to choose whether to dispense tickets earned for jackpot or rather flash a Jackpot Lamp and sound a siren (if connected), when jackpot condition is triggered. Instead of dispensing an enormous amount of tickets, the attendant has the chance to congratulate the player and award him or her a voucher, valued at the jackpot ticket price. For example, adjusting the Dip Switch for 50 means that the machine will not dispense more than 50 tickets and instead a Jackpot Lamp will start flashing. The adjustable range is 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 100.

When the Jackpot is triggered it can be cleared by switching the machine OFF and back ON.

Dispenser Test

Setting the Dip Switch for the Dispenser Test Mode and switching the machine off/on will initialize the Dispenser Test.

5 tickets will be dispensed and the LED on the TicketFlex Maximizer (or the external lamp if connected) will flash twice at the end of the test if the dispenser is okay. The dispenser will pause briefly after dispensing every ticket to indicate that the notch sensor is working properly. If the notch sensor is defective, the dispenser will dispense approximately 2 and half tickets and the LED or the external lamp will start flashing rapidly (3 times on/off, then space, 3 times on/off again and so on). The error condition can be usually fixed by cleaning the opto sensor. Move the tickets through the dispenser so that the notch sensor is triggered again. The Ticketflex Maximizer will automatically try to dispense 5 tickets again and flash the test LED (or Lamp) twice at the end, to indicate a successful completion of the test.

NOTE: In the pulse output operation the Maximizer will also try to dispense 5 tickets and will flash the LED or the external lamp twice at the end of the test. However, this is only an indication that the test has been completed not a report that the dispenser is OK (in pulse output operation the ticket dispenser does not provide any feedback).

Ticket Jam Error LED (available in continuous output operation only)

Clearing the Ticket Jam Error

The error condition can be fixed by clearing the ticket jam and cleaning the notch sensor. Move the tickets through the dispenser so that the notch sensor is triggered again. The TicketFlex will automatically resume normal operation.
