SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your Sea Wolf game should be connected to the electrical supply with the supplied line cord to suit your
installation requirements. A grounded three-prong outlet should always be used to operate your Sea Wolf. Any
electrical questions should always be referred to qualified professionals. The power switches are located inside
the Coin Mechanism door next to the meters, and at the lower right corner of the back of the cabinet.
POWER REQUIREMENTS: 115/230 VAC (Dependent on country) 6.0/3.0 Amps
GAME LOCATION
When you first receive your Sea Wolf, carefully remove all packaging material and place the unit on a flat and
level floor. It should be handled carefully during installation and when changing it’s location to avoid damage to
equipment and possible personal injury.
This game is designed for
indoor use only
; exposure to outdoor conditions
will cause damage
. Be sure all
ventilation grills have at least 4" (100 mm) clearance from other surfaces to permit adequate cooling.

SEA WOLF
GAME DESCRIPTION
REDEMPTION
Sea Wolf
is an exciting single player, video-redemption submarine warfare game, in which the player attempts to
sink as many “enemy” ships as possible in the time allowed, by firing a pre-determined number of torpedoes.
Different point values are awarded depending on the type and size of the ship, as well as its position in the water.
In addition to the normal game play,
Sea
Wolf
is equipped with a dot-matrix display that can be used as a
progressive bonus. The player can win bonus tickets if the “super fast” patrol ship is sunk.
LINK SYSTEM
Sea Wolf
is equipped with an optional “link system”, enabling the networking of multiple games. When operated
with the link system, all games will contribute to the bonus display, thereby building the value much faster than in
single game play. All bonus displays will carry the same value. When a player wins the bonus, the winning
game will display the bonus win routine, and pay the bonus tickets. All other games in the link will notify the
players that a bonus has been won, then continue with regular game play. After a bonus win, the bonus display
on all games will reset to the minimum set value.
OPTIONAL FEATURES
Sea Wolf
is also equipped with an option allowing the game to be played without dispensing tickets. When the
“hi-score” option is active, a “hi-score” screen will appear at the end of the game, allowing the player to enter
initials next to the score. A list of the top scores will display during the attract mode. A “continue play” feature
is also available.

This feature allows the linking of multiple Sea Wolf games in your location, to create even more excitement by
rapidly building the Progressive Bonus value. You may link two (2) games directly with a crossover cable, or
link up to 10 games
using Ethernet cabling and a network switch.
Networking Sea Wolf is simple. Just follow the steps below:
1.
Designate one of the games as the “Master” by selecting “Link Unit Number”, and cycling through the
selections until you see “Master”.
Select “Master”.
2.
Set all Game Settings, Pricing, Ticket Values, etc. on the “Master” game only. It is not necessary to set the
other “slave” games in the link.
3.
Set link numbers only (2, 3, 4, 5,…) on all remaining games.
Note: Each game in the link must have a
unique number. Do not duplicate link numbers. Also, there can be only one “Master”
.
4.
After making all link selections, cycle power on all games.
Note: Always wait approximately 5 seconds
between power down and power up
.
5.
Once all games have fully powered up and made ready for play, the “Master” will send all game settings to
the “slave” games, so all games in the link are set the same. The “Master” will also disable certain settings in
the Main Menu of all “slaves” to avoid any conflicts.
6.
All games are now ready for linked progressive play
.
RESET BONUS
Selecting this will set the bonus amount to the set bonus reset value.
