Fire & Ice X-Treme Game Play
The object of Fire & Ice X-Treme is to time the ball drop button press so that the 7
balls fall into slots on the wheel, choosing either red or blue slots by pushing either
the red or the blue button to release the balls. Filling all 7 slots of your chosen color
wins the progressive jackpot. Filling less than 7 slots of your chosen color pays out
from 5-350 tickets depending on the number of slots filled. See table below for ticket
payout.
Number of slots of chosen color filled Tickets Dispensed
1 slot of chosen color 250
2 slots of chosen color 5
3 slots of chosen color 15
4 slots of chosen color 20
5 slots of chosen color 100
6 slots of chosen color 350
7 slots of chosen color Jackpot Value
LED Lighting
The Fire & Ice X-Treme utilizes low voltage (12v) LED lighting throughout the game for
general illumination and accents. The Fire & Ice X-Treme also has a secondary power
supply that runs most of its LED lighting.

Technical Operation
Wheel Position
Wheel position in Fire & Ice X-Treme is determined by
an optical sensor that communicates with the CPU board.
The CPU receives a HOME signal from an optical sensor
located behind the wheel. There is a pin inserted into the
wheel and when the pin passes thru the optical sensor it
blocks the beam then the sensor sends a signal to the
CPU telling it that it has detected HOME pin. This
HOME signal lets the CPU know the exact position of
the wheel.
A stepper controller board (SCB) controls a stepper
motor that rotates the wheel. The wheel rotation is
broken up into many “Steps” and the CPU counts these
“steps.” Because the CPU knows where the HOME
position is and it’s counting every “step” it knows
exactly where the wheel is at any time.
Scoring- ball sensor
There is an optical transmitter located on the left side of
the wheel that transmits a beam through the holes in the
wheel and a receiver behind the wheel that detects the
beam. When a ball falls into a slot it blocks the optical
beam and its position is sent to the CPU. Since we know
the position of the wheel at all times we can identify
each hole. The CPU counts how many balls a player has
in his color choice slots and awards the corresponding
number of tickets
The Fire & Ice X-Treme has a secondary power supply
which powers most of the LED lights throughout the
game.
