RocketPort® In-Server-Cards - Las Vegas Casino

Challenge

Ensure reliable communication between video gaming systems and a central control room for data analysis.

Technology Solution

The integrator and casino worked together to create a central location where data could be filtered and analyzed, using Comtrol's RocketPort in-server multiport controller cards.

Hotels and Casinos process more information in a single day than most companies do in an entire year. In order to handle the task load, their Information systems must be in prime working order. They are currently using Comtrol's RocketPort 550 cards to interface between their video slot machine systems and their main control room. Comtrol's in-server cards deliver a port speed of up to 115K, for quick and efficient communication. The data is transferred from the individual video slot machine back to the main control room for analysis. At this control room, employees are able to determine which games are getting played the most, how much money people are putting in, and how much is being paid out. Also, the peak times, peak location, and most popular games can be determined from this data. All of the video systems are connected to a large "control room" for easy analysis, enabling data printers, scanners, graph printers, and monitors.
