As Ariel Amusement Gaming’s customer support agent, I understand the importance of minimizing machine downtime for our clients. This troubleshooting guide aims to provide quick, actionable solutions to common issues that may arise with our leased amusement machines.

The guide is designed to be user-friendly, addressing the most frequently reported problems based on our extensive experience in the industry.

We always encourage our clients to contact our technical support team for more complex problems or if the suggested solutions don’t resolve the issue.

Common Issues and Solutions

1. Machine Not Powering On
– Check if the machine is properly plugged in and the outlet is functioning
– Verify that the power switch is in the ‘ON’ position
– Inspect the power cord for any visible damage
– If these steps don’t work, check the fuse box for any tripped circuits

2. Coin Mechanism Jams
– Power off the machine and unplug it
– Open the coin mechanism carefully
– Remove any visible obstructions or debris
– Clean the mechanism with a soft, dry cloth
– Reassemble, plug in, and test with a few coins

3. Game Screen Freezing or Displaying Errors
– Perform a hard reset by powering off the machine for 30 seconds, then turning it back on
– Check for any loose connections to the monitor
– If the issue persists, note down any error codes displayed for our technical support team

4. Sound Issues (No Sound or Distorted Audio)
– Check the volume settings on the machine
– Ensure all audio cables are securely connected
– If using external speakers, verify their power and connection

5. Button or Joystick Unresponsiveness
– Power off the machine and check for any visible damage to the controls
