MONEY IN
Depending on hardware configuration, the machine
accepts coins/token and bills for cash in. Additionally
the machine is prepared for ticketing (optional) and
wagering account transfers (optional), and supports
legacy bonusing and remote key credit function.
Coin In
Atronic e-motion™ machines usually accept one
specific type of coin or token, determined by customer
specification. Coin in mechanics, coin acceptor and
hopper are customized to this specific coin size and
weight to provide highest performance, reliability and
security. Multichannel/multicoin operation is
(optionally) supported by B1.2.1 and B1.2.3 versions.
Bill In
Atronic e-motion™ machines utilize JCM® WBA/UBA-
type bill acceptors to provide highest acceptance rates
and best reliability. The decal below the bill in specifies
accepted currency and bill denominations. The
acceptance of each bill denomination can be enabled/
disabled seperately.
Voucher In / TITO (optional)
Optionally the machine supports voucher redemption
and issue (Ticket In / Ticket Out) using enhanced or
system validation mode. Connection to a fibre optic
network requires optional Atronic fibre optic kit.
Cashless / Smart Card (optional)
The wagering account transfer (WAT) function allows
cashless transfers from/to a casino managed wagering
account by means of an external cashless wagering
system. Card handling is managed by an (optional)
player interface.
Support of WAT functionality is application- and
software-dependent.
Note:
In order to allow voucher
redemption, an optional ticket
in dongle (obtainable from

GAME PLAY
When a valid bet has been selected the reels spin for
some seconds before they stop.
No winning combination on any active pay line:
• Game routine is over.
• If credits remain on the credit meter, another bet
can be placed.
• If no credits remain on the credit meter, more
credits must be added to select another bet.
Winning combinations on active pay line(s):
• Win presentation is displayed. It toggles between
wins on each active payline, showing winning com-
bination and win amount.
• All winning combinations on active pay line(s) are
totalized and displayed on the win meter.
• GAMBLE button is lit and the double up feature
is available (if enabled).
• The game ends after double up (if enabled) has
been played or a new game is started.
- Total win below jackpot limit is booked to paid-
and credit meter.
- A win exceeding an adjusted limit results in an

GAMEPLAY
CASH OUT
Press the CASH OUT button located on the functional
button panel to collect credits.
Hopper Payout
Cashable credits are paid directly from the hopper. If
the number of coins to be cashed out is exceeding
the hopper payout limit, a handpay is initiated.
Voucher Payout (optional)
If the machine is configured for ticketing, the payout
is carried out with vouchers only, or by a combination
of vouchers and coins. The way the payout is splitted
into vouchers and coins can be adjusted via "Service
Menu / Settings / Hardware / Printer / Barcode Payout".
See manual "Ticket In - Ticket Out" for details.
Cashless / Smart Card (optional)
The wagering account transfer (WAT) function allows
cashless transfers to a casino managed wagering
account by means of an external cashless wagering
system. Card handling is managed by an (optional)
player interface. Support of WAT functionality is
application- and software-dependent.

meter after a payout, because the remaining credit
value is less than one coin's credit value. Residual
credits payout must be configured during Initial Set-
up. Available options are:
• HANDPAY / LOCKED

sing CASH OUT again, results in a handpay.
• HANDPAY / PLAYABLE

handpay can be cancelled by placing a new bet.
• NO HANDPAY
Residual credits have to be played off. No handpay
of residual credits possible.
Note:
In order to allow cashless
transfers using player cards,
an optional player interface /
card terminal has to be
installed.

credits, these settings only
apply in case of a voucher
