cables. (The same applies to the L D.) In that case, you must disconnect these cables. Take care to

the control panel and break. The front glass could snap or splinter. Before resting the glass and L D
on the PU (Pod) cabinet, remove the top panels. Otherwise, the glass or L D might shatter against
the player button. Shards of glass could fly in every direction.

the two fasteners that you removed during disassembly.

Gameplay
Fishbowl Frenzy is a colorful redemption game with several twists...
•This is an oversized machine, standing nine feet tall. Yet every nook is full of action!
•Animated fish appear to swim inside 3D fishbowls. The fishbowls actually protrude from
the front of the machine.
•Server. Using the machine's movable ball server or trolley, the player drops balls into the
playfield.
•oints. A player earns points by succeeding in landing a ball in one of the fishbowls.
•Landing a ball in a bowl causes the system to dispense a number of tickets.
•Button. The SERVE BALL button controls a unique ball server chute that rides on a trolley in
an overhead gantry.
•A skilled player can serve the ball in such a way that it falls into a particular fishbowl.
•Multiball play is possible once per game. One of the bowls is the Multiball fishbowl. Below
this bowl, you’ll notice the sparkling display MULTIBALL. A player earns the Multiball feature
by landing a ball in the Multiball fishbowl. Multiball causes the gantry to serve three balls in
quick succession. Because the trolley moves while serving, each ball falls in a different
location. Any of these balls might drop into a fishbowl, triggering the game machine to vend
tickets. During Multiball Mode, every fishbowl dunk adds to the score. Another aspect of
Multiball is that it varies from game to game. The Multiball fishbowl doesn’t remain in a
constant location. Any bowl can be a Multiball fishbowl. Between games, the game machine
switches the location of the Multiball fishbowl. Yet in any game, the feature never changes
bowls.
