Self Audit Error Checking

Self Audit Check Formula

3.3.17 A gaming machine shall perform a “self audit” of the appropriate master accounting data meters as described in the following formula:

Credit Balance = [(Coins IN + Banknotes IN + Cashless IN + Total WINS) - (Coins OUT + Cancel Credits + Cashless OUT + Turnover)]%2^32

Where:% is the modulus operator (to handle meter roll over).

Note : The cases of a ‘meter roll-over’ should be taken into account when performing a “Self Audit” check. In the case of decimal meters, the modulus is 10^10.

Occurrence of Self Audit Check

3.3.18 The self audit check shall be performed at least at the following times:

a) At the start of every game.

b) Before commencing any process that transfers any monetary value out of the gaming machine (e.g. hopper pay, cancel credit/ticket pay or credit transfer out).

Action on Failure of Self Audit Check

3.3.19 The EGM shall enter an Unrecoverable Memory Corruption state in the event that this self audit check fails.

Progressive Meters
