Steering Through the Mechanics of Multiplayer Play
The mechanics enabling multiplayer play on these machines hinge on elaborate wiring systems that control their operational sequences. The score motor, a critical contraption, orchestrates various tasks by rhythmically activating numerous switches. Stepper units also play an essential role; they facilitate memory-like functions by changing connections based on their physical positions. The pivotal coin unit determines how many players can compete by registering the number of quarters inserted.
