I'm having some people over this weekend and wanted to do a friendly, small cash prize tournament. I've researched the tournament settings on my Metallica Premium and can't seem to get the settings to do what I want them to. So, please let me know if this is possible:

I want the game to be on free play so anyone can play whenever they want to. But, if someone wants to play for the cash prize I want them to put their money in the game, push the tournament button and have the game keep track of the tournament cash that's been deposited.

So far through my testing, when it's set to free play, the tournament button flashes along with the start button. Basically I want the start button to be able to start a normal game (without depositing quarters), and the tournament button only flashes and starts a game if you've deposited your quarters.

I hope this makes sense to you.

Thanks

Well that's a bummer. Seems like it would be a good option to have in a home environment.

So you're saying take the two wires from the tournament button and hook them to one of the credit switches?
hmmmmm, this is an interesting idea and could achieve what I'm looking for. Is there a diode on a credit switch? Would that even matter? Do the tournament wires need to be plugged into a certain side of the switch?

for sure I would unplug the credit wires. I was just wondering if the tournament wires needed to go onto a certain credit switch prong. I know if there's no diode then it shouldn't matter because the switch is just making the connection, but if there's a diode I wouldn't want to possibly damage the game.

Now that I'm thinking about it, one of the tournament switch wires (tan with purple stripe) is connected to a diode. So, if the credit switch has a diode as well I would just have to make sure the tournament diode wire goes to the credit switch prong with the diode. Correct?

I'm probably overthinking this. haha
