    摘要: A gaming machine having a multi-tiered power supply and power distribution system which enables maintenance of low security and higher failure rate components such as video monitors, LCDs, or reel mechanisms without disconnecting power from higher security, low failure rate components such as the main processor board. The ability to provide multi-tiered power in this manner allows low security risk items to be serviced while the gaming machine is still in contact with the casino's backend reporting system, reporting on its status. This improves security, accountability of maintenance personnel, and significantly reduces overall gaming machine down time.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for detecting the absolute position of a movable member, by monitoring the incremental and directional of movement of an indexed-encoder, coupled to the movable member, and comprising a single index space and a plurality of non-index spaces. The index space of the indexed-encoder member has a characteristic different than a characteristic of all of the other non-index spaces. The apparatus is capable of distinguishing the index space from any of the non-index spaces based on the characteristics of the index space and non-index spaces, and thus detecting when the index space or any of the non-index spaces is at the predetermined location. Based on the detection of the index and non-index spaces, the apparatus determines the direction of movement of the indexed-encoder, and an incremental movement in which the indexed-encoder has moved relative to the predetermined index location, to determine the absolute position of the indexed-encoder and hence, of the movable member with respect to the predetermined index location.

    摘要: A cashless gaming apparatus and method suitable for casinos. A player hands over money and an ID card to a clerk at a validation terminal. The clerk stores the ID number and the amount of money in the memory of the validation terminal. Then the clerk returns the ID card to the player for operating any one of a number of game terminals. The player then selects a game terminal which reads the player's ID card, whereupon the cash amount from the validation terminal is downloaded to the selected game terminal and the game terminal can then be played. If the player wishes to play another game terminal, the player actuates a cashout switch on the current terminal. The player then moves to another game terminal and the player's ID card is read into the second game terminal, whereupon the money remaining as a cash amount is downloaded to the second game terminal. The player can then play the second game terminal. When the player wishes to stop play of the game terminals completely, the player actuates the cashout switch of the last game terminal played. The player presents his ID card to the clerk at the validation terminal and the validation terminal reads the ID card. A ticket showing the card number and the cash amount is printed and the player is paid the cash amount on the spot. The printed ticket is then used for reconciliation.
