G2S slot machine communication is an Ethernet based protocol that doesn’t require any additional hardware to be installed on a gaming machine. Such hardware, usually referenced as Slot Machine Interface Boards (SMIB), often include displays and card readers that increase its cost. G2S based casino floor operations are therefore more cost efficient since game machine is implemented with all necessary functionalities.
NEW FUNCTIONALITIES ENABLED BY G2S With sCore Connect host systems can also be extended with new functionalities. Among several possible applications, we would like to introduce the two of them: ?
Efficient remote management of gaming machines with software download, remote configuration, and remote software verification. Examples include deployment of new games, distribution, installation and verification of game machine software packages and new versions of peripheral device firmware.
Media display technology offers a channel to implement services ranging from marketing oriented advertising, hospitality oriented service like purchasing of tickets or rooms, to more basic functions like player tracking, player protection and cashless Player User Interfaces (PUI). All these give operators a personalized and unified look and feel over several machine vendors.
