TAXI GAME STATUS DISPLAYS (Continued)
Adjustment Information--Ad
At end of the Audit Information presentation, with the AUTO-UP switch in the Up position, the
operator can press the ADVANCE button to proceed to the Adjustment Information portion of the
TAXI Game Status Displays, as listed in the TAXI Game Adjustment Table.
The operator can press the ADVANCE button ~ to view each Adjustment Information display item.
To proceed more rapidly through this information, the operator only has to press and hold the
ADVANCE button. If a desired item is passed, the operator can use the MANUAL-DOWN switch
position with the ADVANCE button to back up to th e desi red item.
The TAXI Game Adjustment Table lists the 70 items of the Adjustment Information portion of
the TAXI Game Status Displays. Presentation of the displays is similar to that for the Audit
Information (that is, the player 1 and 2 displays combine as a descriptive phrase: the light type below
the column headings names the respective backbox displays where the information appears, etc.).
The Player 3 display shows Ad for all 70 adjustment items, so its entry is omitted from the tabular
listing.
The TAXI Game Adjustment Setting Comparison Table shows the five game 'difficulty'
Adjustment Items (ranging from Ad 62 - Extra Easy through Ad 66 - Extra Hard). Installing anyone of
these 'difficulty' Adjustments causes the values shown for each of the included game play Adjustment
Items to be installed as a. group, changing tile level of play from one difficulty level to another. The
owner/operator can use the information provided by the Audit Table items to determine whether the
'difficulty level' for this game in this location needs to change to obtain a higher level of earnings from
the game or to provide a greater challenge to the location's players.
Once the 'difficulty level' is changed, a carefu I review of the Audit Items will reveal whether the change
has achieved this higher-earnings goal. Sornetimes. one (or more) of the Adjustment Items needs
further change to keep the number of plays high, while still keeping the earnings level high.
"Fine-tuning" of the game's Adjustment Items is a key feature of Williams Electronic Games products.
