Abstract

This Uganda Standard provides requirements for on-line Monitoring and Control Systems (MCS) and validation system necessary to achieve certification when interfaced to gaming devices, for the purpose of communicating mandatory security events and electronic meters. This infers that all relevant monetary transactions at the gaming device level are handled through: a) credit issuance: b) coins or tokens accepted via approved coin acceptors; c) currency notes (bills) accepted via approved bill validators; and d) approved ticket/voucher (items) accepted via approved bill/ticket/voucher validators; or e) player account cards (cashless); f) credit redemption: g) coins or tokens paid by approved hoppers; h) handpays; i) ticket/voucher (items) paid by approved ticket/voucher printers; or j) player account cards (cashless). This standard does not cover MCS requirements for any other form of monetary transaction. It does not cover advanced bi-directional communication protocols [that is, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), Automatic Fund Transfer (AFT), bonusing, promotional, system-based progressives, features that utilize a Random Number Generation (RNG), among others] that support credit transfer between the gaming device and the MCS. This standard only supports one-way communication of events originated at the gaming device level to the MCS with the exception of the ticket/voucher validation system requirements.
