✨ Gaming Machine Technical Standards

NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 79

29 JUNE 2004

Hardware

This chapter sets out the core hardware requirements of the Australian and New Zealand Gaming Machine Technical Standard.

1.7 Introduction

Gaming Machine Monitoring

1.7.1

If an electronic gaming machine is to be connected to an external device such as a cash transfer system or monitoring system, this Standard does not define the complete electronic hardware interface requirements. It is a requirement that the manufacturer (or supplier) of the external gaming machine equipment shall supply the complete hardware and software interface requirements for that connection.

1.8 General

Gaming Machine Evaluation Submissions

1.8.1

Information regarding requirements for submitting gaming equipment for approval are contained in Chapter 6 Submissions.

Gaming Machine Approvals

1.8.2

Information on the process involved in obtaining an approval can be obtained from the relevant regulatory body as set out in Chapter 1 Introduction.

Gaming Machine Documentation

1.8.3

All gaming machines and related equipment must have associated manuals at the time of approval. These manuals must adequately describe the operation and maintenance requirements of those units (typically an operator manual and a service manual). To facilitate timely equipment approvals manuals may be in draft form during the evaluation phase of the approval process however they must be finalised prior to approval being granted.

1.8.4

The following information must be presented in a comprehensive and professional format in order to assist gaming staff and service personnel in the performance of their duties. The manuals must contain:

a) The machine specifications (Operator and Service manuals);

b) Installation instructions, including the detailed methodology for entering the appropriate values into the machine for denomination, machine address, serial number, and any other initial set-up values required to configure the machine (Service manual only);

c) Diagrams showing details of all major components of the gaming machine (Operator and Service manuals);

d) Information detailing the replacement of major components must be supplied, including parts lists (Service manual only);

e) A comprehensive description of the machine’s operation in audit mode (including test modes) must be detailed (Operator and Service manuals);

f) Instructions detailing the functions of all buttons, switches, and other controls on the gaming machine (e.g. explain how to cancel credits, empty the hopper, etc.) must be presented (Operator and Service manuals);

g) Detail any routine maintenance required such as how to replace a light globe or fuse, or clean the monitor (Operator manual if appropriate);
