E.2. Back House Systems

a. The Authority requires that the casino operator implement an electronic monitoring system (EMS) capable of performing the following broad functions:

i. logging, reporting and searching of gaming equipment events,

ii. collection of individual device financial and meter data,

iii. reconciliation of meter data against cash box hard count,

iv. performance reporting as specified from time to time by the Authority,

v. configuration of the gaming equipment,

vi. systems security,

vii. real time commands to the casino surveillance system.

b. The EMS must be computer based with sufficient capacity (processing, memory, communications interfaces and hard disk storage) to efficiently monitor all gaming devices within the casino.

E.2.1. Central Logging

Game play statistics and machine event and configuration data are to be held in a single (backed-up) central computer system. They may also be held in intermediate points in the EMS.

E.2.2. Communications

a. The back house system must support the communications requirements of Part F of this document.

b. Game play statistics information and event data will be passed to the EMS by an approved electronic data communications means in a timely manner by schedule and/or on demand.

c. The frequency of data collection will be approved by the Authority.

E.2.3. Statistical Information

a. Statistical information is to be collected and held for each individual EGM as well as accumulated for the casino.

b. The units in which each statistic is to be measured is to be approved by the Authority but may include cents, dollars, number of coins/tokens or others.

c. The Authority requires that the information detailed in section “C.3.2.14. Metering” be maintained by the back house system monitoring gaming machines.

d. Meter requirements for other systems such as live keno terminals will be treated on a case-by-case basis.

E.2.3.1. Meter Wrap Handling and Meter Width

Operational procedures, software, etc must be in place and must, together with the width of the meters and the expected rate of meter counts, be sufficient to cater for resulting meter wrap events (ie. to detect and correctly handle meter wraps), and so preserve the true total statistics.
