TO MAXIMIZE EARNINGS THE REPLAY SCORE LEVEL NEEDS TO BE MONITORED ON A REGULAR BASIS.  THIS WILL ENSURE THAT THE TARGET ‘REPLAY PERCENT’ WILL BE MET BASED ON STANDARD ADJUSTMENT B1-04A. 

BY SETTING ADJUSTMENT B1-17 ‘REPLAY INDICATOR’ TO ‘YES’ (FACTORY DEFAULT IS NO) THE GAME WILL INDICATE WHEN A NEW REPLAY LEVEL HAS BEEN CALCULATED. 

STARS WILL APPEAR IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE ‘REPLAY AT XXX,XXX,XXX’ SCREEN DURING ATTRACT MODE WHEN A NEW REPLAY LEVEL IS AVAILABLE.  IF A NEW REPLAY LEVEL IS NOT NECESSARY, NO STARS WILL APPEAR.

THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO ADJUST THE REPLAY LEVEL.

METHOD ONE:

THIS METHOD CAN BE USED WHEN DOING COLLECTIONS.

* OPEN THE COIN DOOR.  THIS PLACES YOU INTO THE MAIN MENU.

* SCROLL DOWN TO ‘COLLECTIONS/REPLAY’ USING THE RIGHT FLIPPER BUTTON, AND

  PRESS THE START BUTTON TO ENTER.

* SCROLL THROUGH THIS MENU AND RECORD YOUR CURRENT COLLECTION INFORMATION.

* AFTER YOU HAVE GATHERED THE INFORMATION PRESS THE START BUTTON.  THIS WILL   

  CLEAR YOUR CURRENT COLLECTION INFORMATION, AND ADJUST THE REPLAY SCORE              

  LEVEL TO MEET YOUR TARGET REPLAY PERCENT. 

* CLOSE THE COIN DOOR.  THIS WILL PUT YOU BACK IN ATTRACT MODE.

METHOD TWO:

THIS METHOD CAN BE USED AT ANY TIME WITHOUT AFFECTING COLLECTIONS

INFORMATION.
