Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 45, November 2, 2024
Section 5317.26 - Significant events
(a) Notice of significant events that a gaming device generates shall be sent via the interface element to the MCS using an approved communication protocol. Each such event shall be stored in a database that includes the following:
(1) date and time that the event occurred; and
(2) identity of the gaming device that generated such event; and
(i) a unique number/code that defines such event; or
(ii) a brief text that describes the event in the local language.
(b) Significant events including the following shall be collected from the gaming device and transmitted to the system for storage:
(1) power resets or power failure;
(2) hand-pay conditions (amount needs to be sent to the system):
(i) gaming device jackpot (an award in excess of the single-win limit of the gaming device);
(ii) cancelled credit hand-pay; and
(iii) progressive jackpot (an award in excess of the single-win limit of the gaming device).
(3) door openings (any door that gives access to a critical area on the gaming device). Door switches (discrete inputs to the interface element) are acceptable if their operation does not result in redundant or confusing messaging;
(4) bill (item) validator errors (the errors described in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this paragraph should be sent as a unique message, if supported by the communication protocol):
(i) stacker full (it is recommended that an explicit "stacker full" error message not be used, because doing so may promote a security issue, but "bill validator malfunction" or the equivalent may not); and
(ii) bill (item) jam.
(5) gaming device low RAM battery error;
(6) reel spin errors (if applicable with individual reel number identified);
(7) printer errors (if printer supported):
(i) printer empty/paper low; and
(ii) printer disconnect/failure.
