EXISTING CUSTOMERS WITH CURRENT GAMES IN PLAY

If you currently have games in play, there is a lot of work ahead as those games need to get into inventory, tallied and counted prior to Tab Wizard integration. Three recommendations:

1. It is recommened you play those games out of your current system and enter new games into Tab Wizard going forward.

2. Pull the games currently in play and put new games into play in Tab Wizard - Recommended

3. The long route: Count and weigh all existing pull tab tickets for all open play games.  (expect 5-10 minutes extra for each game).

​

All three options above require your current inventory to be loaded into Tab Wizard manually however, the job can be made simpler by following these required steps BEFORE Tab Wizard comes onsite to install the system:

 

1. Call your Pull Tab Distributor and request a USB disk with all your current inventory in the building.

2. Weigh all the bowls (empty) and write their weights on a piece of paper as well as a piece of tape on each bowl.

3. Count out 100 tickets from each game and write the weight of each on a piece of paper.

4. Current games in play will need both Sales & Payouts tallied in total.

   • SALES: Total each game's (IN and $Exchange).  

   • PAYOUTS: Tally each game's total winning tickets from the smallest to the largest

​
