DESCRIPTION
“Mega Stacker” is a quick skill game that is simple to learn and fast to play. The
player uses the start/stop button to stop the moving blocks on top of the blocks in the
previous level. Each level higher the blocks are stacked the game will get
progressively harder.
Once the player reaches the Ticket Level, they can collect the Tickets or continue to
play on for the Major Prize but if they lose, they get nothing unless the Mercy Prize
option has been activated. Most players who reach the Ticket Level will continue to
play for the Major Prize believing they can reach it easily.
PACKAGING
At delivery, the machine should arrive in good condition. To move the packaged
machine for transport or placement, use a forklift and take care not to hit the
package or stack heavy objects on top, as this may cause damage to the machine.
