  5. Members continue to support GSA – to date: $8.2M in cash and $35M+ in additional resources Hired Technical Director - Marc McDermott Single peripheral communication solution under review Industry Support to Implement GSA standards by G2E Started to issue GSA SAS 6.01 Certificates Establish and support an educational track on GSA standards and technology HTNG and GSA to form closer relationship - GSA to offer protocol solutions to HTNG’s Gaming SIG Australian Gaming Machine Manufacturers Association (AGMMA) recommended GSA’s G2S as the Protocol Standard for New South Wales, Australia Moving Forward Gaming Technology Summit

  6. The Power of One Solution • G2S – Game To System Solution • Since starting the integration effort in Oct 2005 there were 80 meetings, 310 hours of teleconference, 5150 man hours, 31 industry experts, 1000+ pages • G2S does address solid business issues • G2S will drive revenue • G2S has built-in ‘cool’ features • G2S enables tomorrow’s gaming floor today Gaming Technology Summit

  7. The Game To System (G2S) Solution

  8. What Is G2S? • The industry’s protocol for the networked casino floor environment • Communications between EGMs or associated gaming equipment on the casino floor and back-end servers • Based on current, proven technology standards with an emphasis on OTS Technologies such as: XML, SOAP, SSL, etc. Gaming Technology Summit

  9. What Is G2S? • High-speed communications between EGMs and back-end systems (TCP/IP) • EGMs can communicate with multiple back-end systems over a common network • Web Services Approach possible • Off The Shelf (OTS) technology Gaming Technology Summit

  10. G2S Web Services Approach Slot Floor System Config Server Vouchers Bonusing Download Server Gaming Technology Summit

  11. What Is G2S • Different systems can manage different applications • One Host can manage vouchers while another manages player tracking, while another manages progressives. • One Host may enable multiple services. Gaming Technology Summit

  13. What is G2S? • Consists of three independent components: • G2S Message Standards – Sets up Communications - Contains the Information • GSA Transport Standards • The communication infrastructure allowing the data to be put on the wire. • Provides Network Discovery • Provides Network Security • G2S Configuration/Download Standards – Provides Remote Configuration of EGMs and software download capability Gaming Technology Summit

  14. G2S Message Standards • Core Classes • Minimum for a G2S gaming machine implementation • Six chapters – Message, Communications, Meters, Game Play, Event Handler, Cabinet • Application Classes • Provide Support for Game Functions • 14 Chapters Gaming Technology Summit

  16. G2S Message Standards • G2S protocol based on XML • Human readable data • Industry standard SOAP wrapper Gaming Technology Summit

  17. Host Request <getDeviceMeters deviceClass = “G2S_gameplay” deviceId = “0” /> EGM Response <deviceMeters deviceClass =“G2S_gameplay” deviceId =“0” > <simpleMeter meterName = “G2S_wageredAmt” meterValue = “1234” > <simpleMeter meterName = “G2S_egmPaidGameWonAmt” meterValue = “1234” > <simpleMeter meterName = “G2S_handPaidGameWonAmt” meterValue = “1234” > …….. </deviceMeters> G2S Message Standards Gaming Technology Summit

  18. G2S Transport Standards • Provides Information Security • Provides industry standard encryption • Automatically sets up SSL Link between EGM and Host • Provides Network Security • Provide recommendations for SSL Certificate Deployment • Provides Discovery Service • Leverages on Industry Standards such as DHCP and DNS Gaming Technology Summit

  19. G2S Configuration Standards • Comms Configuration • Sets up initial communication between EGM and Host • Options Configuration • Sets Floor Options based on Operator Requirements and EGM configuration Gaming Technology Summit

  20. G2S Configuration Standards • Device Configuration • Configuration allows for device handling (adding, deleting) at the EGM level • Regulatory requirements can dictate Configuration Standards Gaming Technology Summit

  21. Why G2S? • Standard network equipment and protocols can be used to link EGMs to back-end systems • Increased Information Security • Single Network Download Capability • Single point of control for game download Gaming Technology Summit

  22. Why G2S • Unique Subscription Capability allows increased flexibility for information retrieval • Provides direct access to information • Operator server can subscribe to game events • Allows Read Only access to Third Party data tools • Event and State reporting functions allow for more complete reporting of what is happening on the floor • Configure reporting tools to provide real time information reporting Gaming Technology Summit

  23. Why G2S • Event driven protocol provides increased reliability • Enhances Interoperability • Plug and Play capability • GSA test scripts ensure consistent testing • GSA certified tools provide consistent test platform Gaming Technology Summit

  24. Why G2S • GSA Certification provides EGMs with a guaranteed level of functionality • Certification Program displays certificates on the Internet • Certification Program allows certification of individual functions of systems and EGMs • Provide a Certification Program that is accountableto Manufacturers and Operators • Closed loop system provides problem resolution and reporting Gaming Technology Summit

  25. Why G2S • GSA Certification increases casino floor productivity by narrowing data communications issues to two possible causes. • Testing Laboratory error • The Testing Tools or Scripts are not thorough enough to adequately test the protocol • GSA will take steps to correct the process.
