Safety
Operation
Before operating game, read this manual. Failure to properly install and operate this game could result in
malfunction or accident. Operate the game in accordance with the manual.
Transporting
The cabinet is very heavy. Because the monitor is high, the cabinet is also very top-heavy. Use appropriate
care when moving or transporting cabinet. It contains fragile glass and electronic components. Avoid rough
handling.
Handling Components
Many components are extremely sensitive to handling, environmental and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
events—especially the computer. Do not handle it roughly. Before servicing, call your distributor and inquire
about the PC warranty. Use proper ESD procedures when servicing. Protect components from harmful
environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures, excessive moisture or other damaging effects.
Disconnect Power
Always turn the power off and unplug the unit before servicing or making adjustments unless otherwise
instructed. Installing or repairing components while power is on can damage the components and void the
warranty.
Grounding
Avoid electrical shock. Do not plug in AC power until you have inspected and properly grounded the unit.
Only plug into a grounded, three-wire outlet. Do not use a “cheater” plug or cut off the ground pin on the line
cord.
Electrical Shocks
There is no isolation transformer in the cabinet. Disconnect AC power before servicing. However, be aware
that lethal voltages can remain in the electronic components even when AC power is disconnected. Use
extreme caution when servicing. Verify that there is a working ground connection. If the unit sustains water
damage, cease using it immediately and unplug AC power.
Monitor
The monitor contains no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to service the monitor.
Power Cord
If the power cord is damaged or lost, replace it with an identical cord as supplied by the manufacturer or an
authorized service agent.
Surge Suppressor
It is recommended that you plug your game’s power cord into a surge suppressor to help protect from power
surges that may damage sensitive electronic components.

Water and Other Liquid Sources
Do not install game near sprinkler or other water jet sources. Do not use water jet to clean game. Keep
minimum clearance behind game and wall for proper ventilation but also prevent access of liquid from spills
and sprays from entering ventilation holes.
Connectors
When servicing machine, ensure all connectors mate properly. If connectors do not slip in easily, do not force
them. Connectors are often keyed and only connect one way. Check for correct orientation.
Computer
The computer contains sensitive components, including a hard drive. Do not handle it roughly. Call your
distributor before servicing its internal components. Ask about warranty information as it relates to the PC.
Cycle AC power on or off with the cabinet power switch.
A dongle has been inserted into one of the USB ports. This is required for game play.
Do not remove the dongle except for troubleshooting purposes.
Tempered Glass Warning
When handling the LCD display glass cover take special care and set the glass down softly on a flat surface
free of debris. The edge of the glass is sensitive to hard impact. Shattered glass from the monitor can travel
long distances and cause bodily injury. Use proper procedures when handling broken materials.
Hazard to Epileptics
A small portion of the population has an epileptic condition that may cause seizures. Affected persons
experience seizure while watching some television pictures or playing certain video games. People who have
not had seizures may still have an undetected epileptic condition. If anyone in your family has experienced
epilepsy symptoms (seizures or loss of awareness), consult your physical before using video games. While
children play video games, a parent should observe. Be alert to the following symptoms: dizziness, altered
vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation or convulsions. If
you or your child experiences these symptoms, discontinue use immediately and consult your physician.
Manual
Keep this manual available and ready for use. If the game fails to function properly, turn off the machine and
unplug the AC line cord. Contact your local distributor. You may not reproduce this document or any of its
contents without written authorization from Raw Thrills, Inc.
Specifications
For reasons such as performance, this product’s specifications may change without notice. Federal patent,
copyright and other intellectual property laws protect the content, devices and design of the game and its
equipment.

Card Reader Installation and Setup
Due to the rising popularity of aftermarket debit card systems (i.e. Embed, Intercard, Semnox, etc.) for
cashless/coinless operation of amusement machines in addition to E-Ticket payouts on redemption
games, this slither.io cabinet is equipped with UCL compatible harnessing to ensure that the installation
process is easier and less prone to miswiring.
PAPER TICKETS NOTE: If your location utilizes paper tickets, contact your distributor to purchase “Ticket
Door Completion Kit” as the game cabinet is not equipped with ticket dispensers or ticket bins in default
configuration. Follow instructions on page 12 to install kit contents.
UCL, or Universal Card Link, is a debit card standard established by the American Amusement Machine
Association. Visit https://coin-op.org/standardization/ for the latest UCL standard and manual
information.
The UCL connections on the game use pins 1, 2, 6, 8, and 9. The other pins are unused. Each UCL
connector can supply up to 1A at 12VDC.

You can choose to use 1 or 3 card readers in the pricing adjustments section of the test menu. It is
recommended to use 3 card readers for best results and player access.
There are (3) supplied UCL connections, each located under the control panel near the player positions.
There is enough slack to accommodate mounting (3) card readers on the control panel, as shown below,
or on the front panels, as each operator desires.
If only (1) card reader will be used, it is recommended that the card reader be mounted to the coin door
as shown below, using Player 2 UCL connector due to its proximity to coin door, although any UCL
connector can be used.

paper tickets from all 3 player positions on cabinet. After completing installation (including all harness
connections), continue with the remainder of setup process, specifically choosing optimal settings for
your location.

Locate and secure the ticket bins (low ticket indicator switch attached) on lower studs on inner surface
of ticket doors with (4) M4 keps nuts using 7mm nut driver (or wrench). Green ground wire ring
terminals from main cabinet harness will need to be removed from each door to mount bin, however

M4 keps nuts using 7mm nut driver (or wrench), being sure to not crush dispenser wires or wires from
bundles attached to ticket door.

wires will be tucked into this wireway during operation. From this bundle, locate (2) FASTON terminals
and (1) 2 position male connector in this bundle. Locate ticket door related cabinet harness (can be
identified by tracing previously mentioned ground wire ring terminals from mounting ticket bin). Locate
