SLAM DUNK-S
Congratulations on your purchase of a Slam Dunk! Your Slam
Dunk is a skill game that offers fun and excitement to your customers
and revenue for your business. It’s compact size, ease and variety of
stocking options, and simplicity of play all combine to fill a unique
niche in your enterprise.
The sophistication of the software allows for longer intervals
between restocking visits. The game automatically “avoids” empty prize
spirals dispensing an alternate prize should a spiral that has just been
emptied be mistakenly selected. If the machine should empty it will alert
attendants with a voice prompt and allow no further play. The software
also contains provisions that provide “at a glance” troubleshooting
assistance through code numbers that flash in the displays. The self-
contained nature of the game greatly reduces component loss issues, and
lessens maintenance time.
In this manual the details of game operation and maintenance are
laid out. Reading through this manual will allow you to take the greatest
possible advantage of what this machine has to offer.

Installation Considerations
The physical dimensions of your Slam Dunk are as follows: Width 24 inches Depth 32
inches Height 67 inches. The unit weighs 150 pounds unstocked. This allows for many locations
that are size restricted to turn a profit. The cooling fan blows out from the bottom of the unit
easing ventilation space requirements. It should be noted that storing items under the game
would be inadvisable as it could restrict cooling airflow.
The unit functions on 120 VAC 60 cycles. A jack is located on the rear lower left of the
machine into which the supplied line cord plugs. The power supplied must be grounded for
optimum performance and unit life. Any unit repairs must be carried out by Fully Qualified
Personnel. Please feel free to contact us at:

POWERING UP
There are two power switches located on the Slam Dunk, the first is near the NEMA style
jack where the line cord attaches, and the other is located behind the coin door. A delay of 5 –10
seconds allows the power supply to come to full capacity.
A voice saying; PLAY SLAM DUNK!!! Along with display digits counting down from
9-1, signal that the game is running an automatic diagnostic program to ensure optimum
performance. Should the displays stop during countdown the number that they stop at can be
referenced in the table on page 14 to localize the problem. The game can be credited using the
Credit button or by dropping a coin through the coin comparator (please see the section on the
coin comparator.) We do not recommend using the credit switch on the back of the coin
comparator as this will likely result in a coin error message due to anti-tricking provisions in the
games software. Upon coin up the game will say PLAY SLAM DUNK!!! Followed by a voice
prompt saying SELECT YOUR PRIZE, this will be repeated during the prize selection
window. Pushing the SELECT PRIZE button toggles through the prize spirals with each push
of the button. The prize selection time is adjustable (please see options settings section of this
manual.) The Lock Motor will cycle to the play position and allow the ball to be played using the
red plunger. As a player scores points the basket will rise increasing scoring difficulty, voice
prompts will encourage the player with each basket. After the basket passes the three-point line
each basket made gives three points to the player. When Five seconds of playtime remain the
machine will prompt with TIMES ALMOST UP.As the game ends, if the player has won, the
machine will say TIMES UP PLEASE TRY AGAIN, YOU’RE A WINNER!, followed by
THANKS FOR PLAYING. The selected prize spiral will rotate approximately 10 – 12
seconds dispensing the desired prize. If an empty spiral has been mistakenly selected the
machine will initially attempt to dispense the prize form the empty spiral, after completing it’s
cycle without dropping a prize the machine will automatically switch to the spiral horizontally
adjacent to the empty spiral. During games that follow the machine will not allow the empty
spiral to be selected. Should the player fail to achieve the required score the machine will say
GAME OVER, THANKS FOR PLAYING, BYE BYE.

Slam Dunk Prize Stocking
Your Slam Dunk is equipped with software and micro-switches to detect when a prize
has been vended. For optimal performance there are a few points that must be considered. The
prize spirals rotate roughly 10 –12 seconds during prize payout, Prizes stocked in the game must
be placed on the prize screws not more than three segments apart on the spirals and can be placed
as close as every spiral, depending on the size of the prize. Prizes should not be so large as to not
allow them to sit properly on the prize spiral, or to get hung up on the side nets. Shape also plays
a role. Prizes with parts that stick out may have a tendency to get hung up in the nets or on each
other.
Care should be observed during restocking to be sure that the detection switches on the
end of the spirals are not damaged. The following procedure should be used to refill the
machine.
• Remove the prize retention rods from each spiral to be restocked by unscrewing it until it
comes free.
• Place the hangers for the prizes completely around the prize spiral and supporting arm, be
sure that the prizes are not spaced more then three turns apart, or no closer then every turn,
depending on the size of the prize, and the hangers are not improperly wrapped around the
spiral or each other. Also be sure that any knots or other securing devices on the hangers do
not interfere with the prize spiral or cause it to bind.
• Reinsert the retaining rod and screw in to secure. Do not use tools to tighten the rod or
difficult removal could result at the next restocking. Be sure that the retaining rod is above all
of the prize hangers and that it does not interfere with the hangers. Placing the hangers on the
retaining rod will not allow the prizes to vend properly and can result in unnecessary service
calls. Repeat these procedures for each empty prize spiral.
• After the machine has been completely restocked, turn the power to the machine off, press
and hold the prize select button, and turn the machine on. This will reset the software and
activate all spirals.
• After the LED displays come up release the prize select button, the machine will then give a
series of three “horn blasts” that let you know that the reset has been successful.
• To double check, coin the machine up and sequence through the prize spirals making sure
that each one can be selected. Should any of the spirals not be selectable check to be sure that
the detection switch at the end of the spiral is functioning correctly.
Following the above procedures should allow many hours of carefree operation for your
Slam Dunk.

SLAM DUNK
Software version: BA4US4F
1. Prize Selection: Player will use the “Prize Select” button to advance the light to the selected
prize; not stop the light as it passes the selection.
2. Timer: Player will have from 5 – 10 seconds (operator adjustable; defaulted to 5 sec.) to select
prize before game begins.
3. Prize Selector Indicator Light: The indicator light will start on a prize selection type at random,
instead of always beginning on “A”. This will alleviate the current problem of the premature
emptying of the first selection (A).
4. Music: The music was deleted from the “Prize Selection” routine upon the initial insert of a coin.
A voice prompt “Please select your prize”, repeats until the game begins. The music plays only
during game play.
5. Prize Empty: (a). If a prize selection (spiral) is empty, and has selected by the player (in error),
the game will automatically dispense a prize from the spiral of equal value. (b). Once an empty
spiral is detected, the game will not allow another selection from that spiral (selector light will not
light). (c). If 2 spiral of the same values are empty, game will go into error01 “call attendant”,
indicating that a prize was not dispensed to the player. After approximately 30 seconds, the game
will reset and return to game play. The 2 empty selections will be eliminated from the prize
selection routine in the next game. After re-loading, the game must be reset to recognize the re-
loaded spirals. (see reset instructions in operating manual).
6. Stuck Detector switch: Should a prize detector switch become stuck or malfunction, the machine
will call the attendant three times. Should no one be available, the machine will resume normal
operation not allowing the defective spiral to be selected until the malfunction is corrected.
7. Game Empty: If all prize spirals are empty, game will shut down, and not allow further play.
After re-loading, the game must be reset to allow for game play. (see reset instructions in
operating manual).
8. Prize (spiral) ID: We have changed the price value routine to operate “horizontally”, instead of
vertically. The new routine is: “A/D; “B/E”; “C/F”.
9. Prize Point Value: We moved the number of points required for a prize from the bottom display,
to the “Score” display during the prize selection routine. Once the game begins, the value is then
transferred to the “Points for Prize” display, and the “Score” displays reset to “0”, to begin game
play. This will alleviate the complaint that a player cannot see the bottom display as a prize is
selected, because of the obstruction for the ball.
10. Up/Down Motor Switch: We have added software to shut down the up/down motor in case of a
switch failure to avoid a burn out. If the switch fails, the motor will shut down in approximately
8 seconds.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND FEATURES
Interaction of Degree Settings and Screw gift Setting:
DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY SETTING
Slam Dunk has a total of eight “Degree of Difficulty” settings. Degree Setting # 1 being the
easiest and Degree Setting # 8 the most difficult. Each Degree Setting will give sets of 8
scoring ranges for the prize screws grouped into 3 “value” groups. A & D “group” screws will be
one score range, B & E “group” will be the second score range and C & F “group” will be the
third score range. The score range will be the same for each two screw “group”.
Therefore, prizes of the same value must be “grouped” on these spirals.
Each score range will offer a twelve number “spread” for winning a prize. A number value within
the twelve-point spread will appear at the start of each game indicating the points needed to win
the selected prize. See example below:
Degree of Difficulty Setting # 1 (Factory Default)
A & D score range 12 –20
B & E score range 16 –28
C & F score range 20 –32
SCREW GIFT SETTINGS
The “Screw Gift Settings” will help to insure the operator holds the correct percentage. Once
the operator has selected a Screw Gift Setting for screws A & D, B & E, C & F, the score
required to win that prize will stay in the top half of the score range until the number of credits
selected has been reached in your Screw Gift Setting. Once the number of credits selected
has been played as selected in the Screw Gift Setting, the score range will automatically adjust
to the bottom half of the score range as selected in the Degree Setting. See example below:
Screw Gift Setting Degree/Difficulty 1-20 cr. 20+ cr.
A & D – 10 Credits 12-20 Points 12-16 pts. 16-20 pts.
B & E – 30 Credits 16-28 Points 16-22 pts. 22-28 pts.
C & F – 40 Credits. 20-32 Points 20-26 pts. 26-32 pts.
Example- Correlation
The #1 Degree Setting for screw A/D is 12 to 20. Screw Gift Setting for Screw A/D is 10 credits.
Until the game has taken in 10 credits, the score for winning an A/D prize will randomly be
between 12 and 16 points. Once the game has taken in 10 credits the winning score will drop to
a random value between 16 and 20 points.

COIN COMPARATOR
This Machines Coin Comparator has been set at the factory for Coin Pulse Width and
Comparator Sensitivity. (The only installation required is the coin)
Coin Insert: This is an electronic “comparator” type coin mechanism, you must insert a
coin before “coin testing” the game. Gently lift up on the coin holder, there is a spring
applying pressure on it. When installing the coin in the comparator, it is important that
the coin be placed securely in position, allowing no movement of the coin once installed.
Factory Settings as follows:
1. Coin Pulse Width: Located at the bottom of the Coin Comparator, this three- (3)
position switch set at 50 ms. this is accomplished by placing the switch in the
“middle” position on the “DYE” mech.
2. Coin Sensor: This switch is located on the rear of the coin mech. The switch is set to
“Normally Open” which is in the “DOWN” position on the “DYE” mech.
3. Comparator Sensitivity: Located above the “Coin Pulse Width” switch, is a green”
wheel” adjustment that determines the sensitivity of the coin acceptance. If you are
experiencing a high rate of coin reject, the adjustment should be set more to the
“Slack” position. This is accomplished by turning the wheel one-quarter (1/4) turn
clockwise on the “DYE” mech.
If you have any questions, or require further assistance, please contact our service department at
