Part 3/9:
Upon reaching the end of a game, defined by the "game over" indicator, a specific relay known as the game over relay plays a pivotal role. This relay essentially disables many functions of the machine, including flippers and targets, signifying that the game has come to a halt until another coin is inserted. Notably, the game over relay utilizes a dual-coil system that enables it to transition between ‘on’ and ‘off’ states.
Initiating the Reset Sequence
Once a player inserts a coin, it sets off multiple electrical sequences to prepare the machine for another round of play. The coin relay, for instance, locks onto a power bypass, ensuring that the game is primed for action even after the initial activation signal is lost.
