Self Audit Error Checking
Self Audit Check Formula
1.16.17 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
1.16.18 The self audit check shall be performed at least at the following times:
a) At the start of every play.
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).
