Notification of Faults

1.29.8 To assist with service and fault diagnosis, the nature and location of any fault must be displayed by a message in English (if possible this message is not to be abbreviated).

1.29.9 All fault conditions may activate a tower light if applicable.

1.29.10 It is preferred that the gaming machines become \'user friendly\' in situations requiring human interaction. For example, if a "hopper jam/empty" condition occurs, the gaming machine should instruct the attendant with further instructions and take the operator through the process of clearing the fault step-by-step. It is envisaged that implementing this procedure would greatly reduce training time on gaming machine operations, call-outs and accidental damage.

1.30.1 The following items must appear in all source code modules:

a) Module Name;

Source Code Comments

1.30.2 All source code submitted must be commented in an informative and useful manner.

1.30.3 Poorly commented code may seriously impair the software validation process and greatly reduce the degree of confidence in the reliability and integrity of the code.
