As the coin falls out of the mech into the coin box, it lands on the wire attached to the coin switch which adds a credit to the game. Just below the coin mech is the coin switch which is similar to the microswitches that we use on regular arcade buttons and joysticks except that it is activated by a wire being depressed instead of an actuator. Please consult our post on Adjusting A Coin Mech for more information on coin mechs and how they work. The coin works by passing through a coin mech that only allows the correct coins to fall into the coin box. In this post, we will discuss how to add credits to an arcade game by using the coin switches and how to set up a game for free play using the test/service menu and dip switch settings built into the arcade board.Īdding Credits To An Arcade Game (And Setting Up Free Play)Īs we discussed in the introduction, you can always use a coin to add credits to an arcade game. Of course, you can always insert coins into these machines but that can be inconvenient if your arcade cabinet is for home use only. While most newer games offer a free play setting, there are several older games that do not have this option. In order to play most arcade games, you must either have a way to add credits to the machine or set the free play setting on the board.
