7 BRIEF GAME DESCRIPTION Solid Gold Player - Category C/D The main game takes place on the base reels, where the player uses holds and nudges to achieve wins. Solid Gold is based on the original Pure Gold. Players use holds and nudges to achieve 3 of a kind wins on the reels. Achieving the right combination on the Base Reel enables the Top Reel to activate, allowing the player an opportunity for higher winnings. BASE GAME AWARDS Base Game Multi-Stake: 25p Play 50p Play 1 Play Jackpot: Top Game Awards Top Game Multi-Stake: 25p Play 50pand 1 Jackpot: Issue A Page 7 of 28 12/01/10

8 Solid Gold Player Feature Upon achieving the combination the Gold-Top Game-Gold on the win line of the Base Reel, the player is awarded the Solid Gold feature on the top reels. A series of wins is paid to the player, which ends on a losing combination. During the feature the following award structure applies Solid Gold Streak During the Solid Gold feature, if the player gets the combination Gold -Solid Gold Streak -Gold on the reels, they enter the special SOLID GOLD STREAK feature. On all future spins the outside reels will be locked in position and only the middle reel will spin, guaranteeing the player GOLD wins only. The feature ends when a losing combination comes in. Community Play The community gaming feature is a function that allows other gamers to join a Top Game triggered by the first player to activate the top game play. Community play is randomly triggered from any base reel win. To be eligible to participate in any community bonus the machine must be in credit and in play. In between games there is a 5 second time-out period if a player allows 5 seconds to elapse after a game has finished, that machine will become ineligible until a new game is begun. An onscreen panel on each machine will show the player whether they qualify for a shared bonus should it be triggered, and also show how many other players are active. If the game console intends to enter the feature it will illuminate the blue surround around the top glass immediately after it has swept up to the top. Any game console that does not illuminate the blue surround is not in the feature and so a lose tune will be played and sweeps back to base reel play to normal play. All the individual games that are in the feature will start the 1st spin of the feature together, under the synchronised control of the initiating game. Each win is completely independent to the game console i.e. the feature plays exactly as it does now with credit breaks. Issue A Page 8 of 28 12/01/10

18 Operating the Starpoint Electronic Counting Units (S.E.C) This machine has been fitted with a single Starpoint Electronic Counter that directly replaces the need to fit conventional electro-mechanical meters. The SEC unit incorporates multiple 'digital' counters that store the various meter values in a digital code format that are held in non-volatile memory i.e. it cannot be altered or cleared down. Where is it located? The SEC unit is situated on the upper Right-hand side of the belly glass, a clear window is provided to view the meter. What meters are used in this machine? Meter 1 = REFILL, Meter 2 = CASH IN, Meter 3 = CASH OUT, Meter 4 = CHANGE Meter 5 = TOTAL PLAYS, Meter 6 = NOTES IN NB. All counter values are in 10p units. How is the SEC connected to the host machine? A 6-pin connector is situated on the rear of the SEC unit, which interfaces to the host machine molex connector; data is transmitted via a serial peripheral interface standard. How do I read the values of each counter? The SEC will only display counter values when the following procedure is followed. In normal game play no counter values are viewable to the player. 1. Open the main door and wait for the machine to re-initialise. 2. Press the Hold 1 button to select the REFILL counter, this will show REFILL and the value of this counter. 3. To proceed to the next counter press the Transfer button, the display will then show CASH IN and the value of this counter. 4. To proceed to the next counter press the Transfer button, the display will show CASHOUT and the value of this counter. The above procedure will step the S.E.C. meter through all of the counters and then return to the REFILL counter. 5. Pressing the Autostart button will step through the above procedure in reverse. To exit access to these counter values simply close the main door. Issue A Page 18 of 28 12/01/10
