Quoted from Blake:The purpose of the Slam tilt / Slam switch /slap switch exc. inside the coin door is to prevent people from obtaining free credits by banging on the door. Which was a common problem for operators before its invention. The slamming of the door would cause the coin switch contacts to close momentarily thus simulating the dropping of a coin or token.
Thanks
Blake
Great piece of information! Thank you for that!
Jim
Quoted from JWJr:For home use, where the coin slots are unused, re-mount the slam tilt switch behind one of the coin return buttons. Makes for an easy way to stop a game in progress without power cycling the whole machine.
Wow thats a fantastic idea!
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Alternatively, for many machines on free play simply holding down the start button for a few seconds restarts the game.
Did not know this either! But I am also new to all of this! Thanks!
