Machine Setup
This section includes the following setup instructions:

• Power On and Boot Sequence
• RAM Clear
• Configuration after a RAM Clear
Power On and Boot Sequence

There are two components of the machine that must be switched on, the Main power switch and the
µ-ATX power switch.
STEP 1. Position the Main power switch to on (1). The switch positions are on (1) and off (0).
STEP 2. Switch the µ-ATX power to the on position (to the right), to supply power to the logic board
assembly. This is a small switch labeled µ-ATX power on the front of the assembly. Switching
the power on executes a series of boot commands. After approximately one minute, the game
screen displays.
NOTE: The boot time may vary, depending upon the game. Some games containing large
amounts of graphics on a 256 MB CompactFlash™ may require up to ten minutes.

The following is an example of a 4 Alarm Bonus game screen:
Figure 2-1: Game Screen
NOTE: Depending upon the state of the door, an error message displays until a
denomination is set, the machine is enrolled, and setup parameters configured. If
the door is open, then an error message may display. If the door is closed, then a
Call Attendant message may display. The errors are automatically corrected after
configuration parameters have been set and saved. For more information, see

Configuration after a RAM Clear on page 2-8.
STEP 3. The game is ready to be configured by an Attendant or Technician, or played if configuration is

complete.If the game is powered on for the first time, then it may require a RAM Clear before
the game can be configured. For more information, see RAM Clear on page 2-3.

Alpha Game Platform® Setup and Operation for Lottery Systems Chapter 2: Machine Setup
RAM Clear
The term RAM Clear refers to erasing game information stored within the battery backed, Non-Volatile
Random Access Memory (NVRAM) and the Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-only Memory
(EEPROM). It reformats the memory and restores the system parameters to the default values.
A RAM Clear is required for the following conditions:
• During initial machine installation
• If NVRAM or the EEPROM fail
• If the operating system or game CompactFlash™ is changed
• When new or replacement hardware is added
• When a critical parameter such as the serial number must change
NVRAM
NVRAM stores all critical game information. It provides game recovery after a power failure. Located on
the motherboard, it consists of two redundant 512 KB Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) devices
and two batteries. The batteries have sufficient capacity to retain the contents of the SRAM devices for a
minimum of one year when no power is applied.
EEPROM
The EEPROM is a 512 byte device located on the backplane. The EEPROM retains its information
indefinitely when power is removed. It is used to store critical game configuration parameters that are
changed infrequently, usually only one time after a RAM Clear.
The EEPROM is also used to store meter data periodically, at intervals of 100 games played, or when the
main door is opened. This feature allows the main electronic circuit board and ETX processor card to be
replaced in the field without losing the meter information for the previous 100 games.

RAM Clear Procedure

CAUTION: A RAM Clear also erases accounting data, machine settings, history logs, and
resets the accounting meters to zero. Record all accounting information
before executing a RAM Clear.
Complete the following steps to clear the NVRAM and EEPROM:
STEP 1. Choose one of the following to begin a RAM Clear:

For a new installation, go to Step 6.
For an existing machine, ensure there are no credits on the game. If the credit amount is not
zero, then cash out the balance.
STEP 2. Remove the cash box and re-insert it.
STEP 3. Print a master meter ticket from the Accounting, Machine Master menu. For more
information, see Machine Master on page 4-3.
STEP 4. Unenroll the game from any associated system, such as a game controller. For more
information, see Enrolling the Machine over Ethernet on page 7-18.
STEP 5. Document any machine or game setup options to be restored on the machine. These may

include the following:
Sound Settings
Serial Number
Printer Configuration Settings
Credit Setup Options

Game Diagnostics
NOTE: The availability of game diagnostics depends upon the game and the hardware
Game Diagnostics provides the ability to evaluate the game display or peripheral devices associated with a
game. The devices may include stepper motor reels, a wheel feature, an animated bezel, or illuminated
stepper reel paylines.
Use the Game Diagnostics screens to test the validity of game win combinations, based on the currently
configured pay table. A pay table is a chart of pay amounts for each winning combination and number of
credits bet. Touch the Pays and Free Spin PT button icons to access Pay table information.
The reel stop positions show above each reel on the screen. A reel stop is the position of the center line
symbol from the top of the reel strip (for example, 10/164 designates the tenth symbol from the 164 total
symbols on that specific reel). Position each symbol by touching the top or bottom symbol on the reel.
To perform the tests, position the symbols on the desired lines and touch the Select Lines, Bet Per Line
and Evaluate button icons as described in this section.

bet per line multiplied by the number of lines selected. For example, if selecting nine lines and betting
three credits for each line, then the total bet is 27 credits.
Evaluate Button Icon

The Evaluate button icon causes the program to evaluate the possible winning combinations, based on
selected parameters, and calculates the cumulative game win.
Pays Button Icon

A Pays button icon is available on some games. Touching the button icon displays a pay table that is
identical to the pay table viewed by players on the main game screen. Use the pay table to interpret
winning game combinations based on credits bet and lines played.

Game Play History

Game Play History displays the 20 most recently played games to accurately reconstruct and verify the
results of each game, including special features such as free spins. The type of information depends upon
the game installed. The game information (for example, game name, denomination, date, amount bet, and
amount won) displays in white text at the bottom of the screen.
CAUTION: The game only stores information from the last 20 games played. When
reconstructing the current result across multiple machines, use the Out of
Service function to remove machines from revenue operation. For more
information, see Out of Service on page 7-3 or Out of Service on page 2.
The game screen displays the date and time of game completion, the number of credits bet, the winning
pay line combinations, the cumulative game win, and the final credits on the game.
Use the Prior Game (or Previous Game) and Next Game button icons to navigate between successive
game screens. If the Next Game button icon does not show, then the game is the most recent of the 20
games. If the Prior Game (or Previous Game) button icon does not show, then the game is the oldest of
the 20 games.
In the example listed below, the player bet five credits per line on nine lines for a total bet of 45 credits.
One line had a winning pay combination of 12,500 credits. There are no additional line pays, so the
cumulative win is also 12,500 credits. The game shown is the most recent game because there is no Next
Game button icon. The following is an example of the Game Play History for a 4 Alarm Bonus game:

Ticket In History
The Ticket In History screen lists tickets accepted by the Bill Acceptor. The information for the last 35
tickets accepted includes the date, time, validation (barcode) number, and the amount. The appropriate
currency symbol identifies the amount. For example, if the currency type is euro, then the euro symbol €
displays. Each successful ticket transaction logs three events. The first event indicates that the system
accepted the ticket. The second event indicates that the game accepted the ticket and will stack it in the bill
stacker. The third event indicates that the ticket has been stacked in the bill stacker and the cash amount of
the ticket will be credited to the player.
NOTE: On some screens, a ticket may also be known as a voucher, depending upon the
Jurisdiction. In this guide, a voucher is a ticket from a video lottery terminal
redeemable for cash. For more information, see your Bally Technologies Glossary
(MK5-SVMOD-0004).

The following table describes the Credit Setup labels:
Label Description
Bill Limit The amount of money that can be inserted into a machine during one session. A session begins
when bills or coins are accepted and ends when the player cashes out. If the accepted bills or coins
plus the credit meter exceeds the Bill Limit, then the bills or coins are rejected. The available values
depend upon the Jurisdiction. If the Bill Limit value is greater than the Credit Limit, then the Credit
Limit configured for the game may take precedence over the Bill Limit.
Default Values: Austria, (€ 500,00), Oklahoma and Washington, USA ($3,000.00)
Credit Limit The maximum value of credits that may accumulate on the credit meter at any time. If tickets or
currency are inserted into the machine until the total value equals the Credit Limit value, then the
machine rejects any additional tickets, bills, or coins. If the Credit Limit value is exceeded by credits
won during game play, then the game dispenses the win amount by a hopper payment, cash ticket,
or a credit collect lockup.
For example, for the Austria Lottery, the default value of the Credit Limit is €10.000,00. If the
€10.000,00 is exceeded by credits won during game play, then the machine dispenses payment for
the win.
Default Values: Austria, (€ 10.000,00), Oklahoma and Washington, USA ($10,000.00)
Denomination The value of one credit. It establishes the number of credits accumulated for coins through the coin
acceptor and items through the Bill Acceptor. It determines the basis for values accumulated in the
accounting meters. It also determines the wagering denominations available to a player. The
denomination is configured by the host or central system.
Hopper Limit The maximum value that can be dispensed by the hopper in a single transaction. Any win that
equals or exceeds the Hopper Limit amount will cause the machine to enter a win lockup condition.
If a player selects Cash Out and the amount of credits exceeds the Hopper Limit, then the game goes
into a lockup. An Attendant must provide payment and turn the Audit Key to release the game for
additional play. The event is recorded in the Hand Pay History log.
Jackpot Limit The level for which a single win will cause the machine to display a jackpot win lockup. Any win that
equals or exceeds the Jackpot Limit amount will cause the machine to enter a lockup condition. An
Attendant must turn the Audit Key to print the Jackpot ticket (Hochgewinn ticket, in Austria) and
release the game for additional play. A Pay Win Hand Pay event is recorded in the Hand Pay History
log. The host or central system may overwrite the default setting.
Max Bet The maximum amount that can be wagered per play. If configurable, available settings for Max Bet
values are listed on the screen. Invalid values are rejected.
Ticket Limit The maximum value for a ticket dispensed by the machine, without an Attendant. For values greater
than the Ticket Limit amount, an Attendant is required. If a player selects Cash Out and the amount
of credits exceeds the Ticket Limit, then the game enters a credit collect lockup condition. An
Attendant must turn the Audit Key to print the ticket and release the game for additional play. A
Cash Out Hand Pay event is recorded in the Hand Pay History log. The host or central system may
overwrite the default setting.

Appendix A
Concepts
The following concepts are included in this section:

• Lottery System Games
• Progressive Games
Lottery System Games

Lottery system games are gaming systems where all machines are usually connected to an off-site host.
The host transmits electronic lottery game information to the machine each time the player plays a game.
The machine interprets the electronic lottery game results and displays an entertainment sequence to
award the player the value indicated by the electronic lottery game information received. If the
communication network is busy, then the entertainment sequence provided to the player may be longer.
For example, if the network is busy, then the player may see a longer reel spin on the screen.
The results of the electronic lottery game are displayed as a slot type outcome or other game. If the value is
zero, then a losing outcome displays. If the value is greater than zero, then the winning outcome displays
as wins appropriate to the game theme. Then, the win is credited to the credit meter. If the win exceeds the
maximum amount for a single win set by the host, then the machine dispenses a ticket with the game win
amount. For more information, see Ticket Types on page 10-2.
Progressive Games
A progressive game is defined as either of the following:
• A system of pooling a portion of each wager into a cumulative fund that is available for a win.
• A game that increments the prize amount based on player participation.
The cumulative fund or incremental prize amount is the progressive jackpot. Progressive jackpots may be
won by either a specific symbol combination in a game or from the controlling agency managing the
progressive fund. For more information, see your Bally Technologies Glossary (MK5-SVMOD-0004).
Lottery System Games MK2-AGLOT-0001 [B] A-1

Appendix A: Concepts Alpha Game Platform® Setup and Operation for Lottery Systems
Types of Progressive Games

Progressive games may be standalone or linked as described in the following list:
• Standalone Progressive: A progressive award that can only be won on one machine.
• Linked Progressive: Several machines contributing to common jackpots. Linked progressive
machines are typically located in a single site.
• Wide Area Progressive: A progressive jackpot network linking several gaming sites. The games are
played for a prize funded by the controlling agency.
Configuration
To connect a game to a progressive fund, the progressive attributes must be set and the progressive game
must be registered with the host and controlling agency. Most setup items may be configured from a host
or management terminal. A progressive name defines a specific progressive configuration and prize fund.
If multiple progressive systems are planned, then each system must have a distinct name.
A progressive game typically displays the progressive jackpot values on the game screen, a top box screen
or overhead sign. The progressive jackpot display attributes may also be configured.
Registration

To connect a game to a progressive host, the following progressive and attribute information is set on the
machine:
• The progressive jackpot to which the connection is linked.
• The current progressive jackpot value used for display.
• The promotional text used for display.
After saved, the information can not be changed without a RAM Clear. For more information, see RAM
Clear on page 2-3.
If the machine is unable to communicate with the host, then all progressive displays may be blank until
communication is restored.
Awards
A progressive jackpot is awarded to a player after the machine draws a progressive win as a result of game
play. A winning outcome appropriate to a progressive win displays. The progressive game display, top box
screen, and overhead sign may enter a celebration mode for a short time. The progressive win is processed
by the machine according to the specified configuration. For example, the progressive win may increase
the credit meter or enter a win lockup condition.

Appendix B
Custom Attributes
NOTE: The custom attributes only apply to the New York Lottery Jurisdiction.
Custom attributes for Bally Lottery Systems are defined in this section. Attributes are operating system
variables used by a management terminal for metering and control. The supported attributes depend
upon the game. When a game registers with a management terminal, it communicates the supported
attributes. An Operator may use the management terminal to configure the attribute values for a game or
group of games.
The following topics are included in this section:
• Management Terminal
• General Setup Attributes
• Progressive Setup Attributes
• Debug Setup Attributes

General Setup Attributes

Custom Bally attributes display on the management terminal and on the machine in the NYL Diagnostics

screen. Custom Bally attributes have prefixes starting with devSDG and devBally.
For custom Bally attributes that can be changed on both the management terminal and on the game, the
most recent change supersedes previous changes. For example, if the sound volume is set on a machine
and is changed through the management terminal, then the management terminal value supersedes the
value set on the machine. The management terminal limits access to view and change some custom Bally
attributes. If a custom Bally attribute does not appear on the management terminal, then contact your
management terminal vendor, Multimedia Games, Inc. at (512) 334-7500.
CAUTION: Management terminals may accept invalid values for custom attributes.

Progressive Setup Attributes

NOTE: Progressive attributes are specific to progressive games.
In this section, X designates the number of progressive levels supported by a game. X may vary between
zero and seven. For example, a game supporting a single progressive level registers one of each of the
attributes described in this section and X equals zero.
Progressive Pool Name

NOTE: After saved, the Progressive Pool Name attribute can not be changed without a
RAM Clear. For more information, see RAM Clear on page 2-3.
The Progressive Pool Name attribute is used by the game to register for the correct progressive pool
defined by the .xldf file for the game. The Progressive Pool Name attribute setting for the progressive
level is required for progressive registration. It must be set for a new game installation or after a RAM
Clear. For more information, see RAM Clear on page 2-3.
Each progressive game registers with the management terminal for the number of Progressive Pool Names
for which it has been configured. For example, a single level progressive game will attempt to register for a
single attribute, devSdgProgressivePoolNameLevel0.
A machine pauses during registration until the Progressive Pool Name attribute is set on the management
terminal. To register a Progressive Pool Name, set the devBallyProgressivePoolNameLevel0
attribute to the Pool Name entry designated in the corresponding .xldf file. For example, to register a
Pool Name defined as S00514A-1.0CT-25000RS-25DN in an .xldf file, set the
devBallyProgressivePoolNameLevel0 attribute to S00514A-1.0CT-25000RS-25DN.
Attribute Name: devSdgProgressivePoolNameLevelX
Default Value: Null
Minimum Value: 0
Maximum Value: 7
Progressive Setup Attributes MK2-AGLOT-0001 [B] B-7

current progressive jackpot.
Attribute Name: devSdgProgressiveValueLevelX
Default Value: 0
Minimum Value: 0
Progressive Message

attribute. It enables and disables the display of the progressive. It may be changed at any time.

B-8 MK2-AGLOT-0001 [B] Progressive Setup Attributes

Progressive In Video Lag Minutes

The Progressive In Video Lag Minutes attribute sets the time interval for the periodic updates to the actual
progressive value, insSdgProgressiveValueLevelX. The display interpolates between the
displayed value and the actual progressive value to create a display showing an increasing value. The
Progressive In Video Lag Minutes attribute controls the rate at which the value increases. For example, if
the Progressive In Video Lag Minutes attribute is set to 15 and the current progressive value does not
change, then it will take 15 minutes for the displayed value to increase to the current value. This attribute
may be changed at any time.
Attribute Name: devSdgProgressiveInVideoLagMinutesLevelX
Default Value: 15
Minimum Value: 0
Maximum Value: 60
Debug Setup Attributes

This section describes debug attributes for troubleshooting.

a number greater than 0 records all progressive broadcasts to the machine event log. To avoid recording a
large number of progressive broadcasts, set the Debug Log attribute to 0. Use the Debug Log attribute for
troubleshooting signs or displays.
