The function of player communication is to allow a player, using an
identification card, to 'log on' to a network system when playing a machine.
The network system maintains a record of player transactions, and allows
messages to be sent to individual players. The player communication
module can be attached to the side of the gaming machine or fitted in the top
box.
Electromechanical meters are used to record accounting data in a physical
format. The signals for the meters are received from the Main Board, via the
Backplane.
The ticket printer is an electronic device mounted within the cabinet, it is used
for providing the player with a printed ticket for redeemable credits. The
printer, when substituted for a hopper, may also keep a second copy of all
tickets printed for additional audit information.
The function of the communications interface is to enable the machine to be
linked to a network and/or subsidiary equipment. The communications
interface may be linked to various machine modules, including security, and
transmits signals from these inputs as each one changes status.
Multi-level light towers may be used to provide an additional level of customer
service and security.
