Slot Machine Sas Interface Board

Slot

The IGSA develops Standards that increase efficiencies, decrease barriers to entry, and provide enhanced data access and transparency. These Standards benefit the entire Gaming Industry including suppliers, operators and regulators.

SAS client board can be used for slot machine accounting automation purposes and player tracking and bonus system. Powering the board. Ethernet interface is used for board connection to the SAS server. This greatly simplifies building the saloon’s SAS network because such standard equipment as switches and patch cords are widely available. Customer demand for slot machine play in particular seemed to be saturated. In the fall of 2011, this thought had been on the mind of Elliott Daradich, SaskGaming’s Director of Slots for nearly 17 years. On board since the casino's inception, Elliott witnessed the development of the business into an increasingly dynamic environment. Sas protocol Anybody has technical information on SAS protocol used on IGT's slot machines? I couldn't find any tech. Information on SAS ( Slot Accounting Software). It is a serial communication protocol used on slot machines to send accounting information to a central host.

Suppliers benefit through Standardized interfaces that seek to eliminate one-off proprietary interfaces, driving interoperability, reducing interface time and cost, and increasing access to their products.

Operators benefit by getting access to more gaming content and faster, by getting greater access to data which may reduce regulatory risk while increasing revenues and decreasing costs.

Sas Interface Basics

Regulators benefit by getting access to all available data directly from the gaming source, from gaming systems or from regulatory owned monitoring systems. This level of data transparency enables better regulatory oversight for the detection of money laundering, protection of vulnerable players and ensuring gaming is occurring fairly.

These and many other benefits are delivered via IGSA Standards such as the Game to System (G2S) Standard for land-based operations, the Third-party Interface (TPI) for online operations and the Regulatory Reporting Interface (RRI) that supports all types of gaming activity.

For land-based operations, Standards such as the Game to system (G2S) protocol can pull information from the slot machine’s secondary communication or network port without any interference to the existing, regulatory required, system of record.

IGSA Standards are now mandated by Regulatory requirement or Legislative law, in Countries, Provinces and States around the world, which means suppliers that sell products in those places have implemented those Standards. Even if they are not mandated by the jurisdiction, the Standards are available to you if you ask for them.

  • Practically every slot machine has multiple communication ports allowing multiple systems to be connected and gather information.
  • You can develop or buy an existing simple communication application to gather data elements that your CMS today does not capture. This will allow you to send that data to off-the-shelf Business Intelligence, Visualization and other data analytical applications.
  • You can choose to subscribe to specific meters and events needed by your marketing system, making it much more efficient then just getting everything?
  • You can transmit this marketing data from your newer slot machines without needing to re-cable your slot floor?
  • Using IGSA standards, your IT team can manage, maintain the security and integrity of the slot network using the same tools that they use to manage their existing back-of-house local and wide-area networks?
  • Regulators are asking for IGSA standards to ensure that slot machines are running valid, approved software.
    The most reliable of these are online slot machines with bitcoin (BTC) payment method, they undergo a special certification procedure.
  • You can use the same simple communication application to understand; in real-time what each of your slot machines is comprised of, both hardware and software, including such details as vendor, product model, release version, and serial numbers.
  • Your EGMs can provide you with full information on the personality and configuration of every connected EGM, making identifying incorrect configurations or revoked software much more efficient and accurate?

All of this functionality is already available and in use. Where? Casinos in the US (Las Vegas), Canada (New Brunswick, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia), Australia (New South Wales) Europe (Austria, Finland, Greece, Poland), are all getting access to this functionality on slot machines provided by the major manufacturers. You too can have this!

The International Gaming Standards Associations (IGSA) Game to System (G2S) Standard makes this possible.

The International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA) has worked with several of our members that have implemented G2S on their casino floors to provide case studies of problems that have come up and how those problems have been solved.

  • The Canadian Experience - an overview of how Canadian operators took steps to solve their joint problems thru combined effort as members of IGSA.
  • The Intralot Implementation - IGSA member Intralot deploys the G2S protocol in Ohio and Australia.
  • The Loto-Quebec Implementation - IGSA member Loto-Quebec uses G2S to offer new multimedia player experience.

IGSA offers a variety of membership levels to fit every budget. For a full review of the various benefits and levels of membership, please look here.

IGSA offers implementation assistance, in addition to personalized and in-depth training to operators upon request. IGSA staff is happy to answer questions during implementation and/or face-to-face training at your premises, for training for any of our standards. For more information, contact IGSA.

IGSA has done an in-depth comparison of the services that Operators could provide their customers with the installation of open standard G2S based slot machines vs. proprietary SAS based slot machines. Download the article here.
