Brief Description of the Drawings 35 An embodiment of the invention, which combines all aspects of the invention, will now be described in relation to the accompanying drawings in which: N:\Melboume\Cases\Patent\76000-76999\P76936.AU 1\Specis\P76936 AU.1 CAP.doc 6I04/09 - 7 Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a network configuration; Figure 2 shows a first exemplary venue configuration; 5 Figure 3 shows a second exemplary venue configuration; Figure 4 shows an embodiment of the gaming management server; and 10 Figure 5 is a flowchart of an embodiment. Detailed Description 15 Embodiments of the invention provide a gaming management system which allows a plurality of venues to share a gaming management server while maintaining segregation of the data. This allows smaller venues which would normally install a gaming management system to have access to a 20 gaming management system hosted by an outside party. Thus, smaller venues can obtain access to some, or all of the functions of a gaming management system, for example, on a fee per service basis, rather than paying for an entire installation. In this manner venue operators can 25 also extend the aspects of the system which they employ on an as needs basis. Accordingly, a venue can start with a minimal implementation. For example to do analysis of a gaming machines, and upgrade their system to offer additional features such as player tracking without 30 requiring significant software update as all the functions can already be installed at the gaming server in order to accommodate other venue operators. Referring to Figure 1, there is shown an exemplary network 35 connection where plurality of venues 120 are connected by means of virtual private network 130 to a gaming management server 110. N:\Mlboume\Cases\Patent\760 76999\P76936.AU.1\Specis\P76936.AU.1 CAP.doc 6/04/09 - 8 Figure 2 show a first exemplary venue 200 which has a plurality of electronic gaming machines 201, 202, 203 each of which is associated with a player tracking module 211, 5 212, 213. The player tracking modules 211 are typically installed in the cabinet of the electronic gaming machines and are in data communication with the electronic gaming machines 201,202,203. Each player tracking module 211, 212, 213 acts a data capture module to capture information 10 relating to use of the electronic gaming machine with which it is associated and store that data in a memory of the player tracking module to locally buffer the data. In this configuration, the buffered data is periodically communicated directly from the player tracking modules 15 211, 212, 213 to the gaming management server using a network communication protocol such as TCP/IP. The gaming management client 240 is also in data communication with the gaming management server and can 20 retrieve data from the gaming management server relating to the venue 200. Depending on the implementation, such data may be raw data or processed in some form as will be described in further detail below. The venue 200 may also incorporate a cash deck 230 having an associated data 25 capture module 235 which communicates data to the management server. The gaming venue 200 may also incorporate one or more displays 200. Depending on the implementation the settings for the displays can be set at the gaming management server by the gaming management 30 client 240. Figure 3 shows an alternative configuration of a venue 300. In this embodiment, the venue 300 is arranged so that data relating to the venue is buffered at a gaming 35 management client 340. That is, all communication with the gaming management server is done by the gaming management client 340. Accordingly, in this embodiment N:\Melboume\Cases\Patent\76000-76999\P76936.AU1\Speacs\P76936.AU.1 CAP.doc 6/04/09 - 9 player tracking modules 311, 312, 313 gather data from EGM's 301, 302, 303 respectively, communicate this data to the gaming management client which stores it in the local database 350. The gaming management client 340 then 5 communicates the data from the local database to the gaming management server. Similarly, gaming management client 340 communicates data captured by data capture module 335 about the cash desk 330 to the gaming management server. The gaming management server can 10 periodically synchronise its version of the database for the venue with the local database 350. If the gaming management server goes offline, the gaming management client 340 can employ the most recent version of the data. Thus, in this configuration, some functions of the gaming 15 management server can be conducted by the gaming management client such as controlling the displays 320. In alternative configuration, the displays 320 461 may be connected directed to the gaming management server. 20 Referring to Figure 4, there is shown an exemplary configuration of a gaming management server 400. The gaming management server 400 is connected to the venues. The gaming management server incorporates a request handler 410 which controls communication with the venues 25 and incorporates a data access control module 411 which ensures that transaction carried out by the request handler are in respect of the correct data such that gaming management clients are restricted to accessing data related to venues with which they are associated in 30 client/venue association database 440. This extends to ensuring that any management functions 420 which are carried out in respect of the data of the correct venue. The master database 430 stores data for each of a plurality of venues (N) 431, 432, 433. The management 35 functions in this illustrated embodiment include player tracking 421, electronic gaming machine analysis 422 and a jackpot controller 423. Persons skilled in the art will N:\elboume\Cases\Patent\76000-76999\P76936.AU.1\Specis\76936.AU.1 CAPdoc 6104/09 - 10 appreciate that other functions can also be implemented including any of the functions offered by known gaming management systems, for example, such as the gaming management systems sold under the trade name "Systems 7000 5 Prime Enterprise" by Aristocrat Technologies Australia Pty Limited. Such a gaming management system can offer front office features, such as cash decks, desk, credit controller, 10 player tracking, membership control, membership card design, security, VIP player management, award centres, customer relationship management, and complimentary and commissions. It can also offer gaming floor management features including of electronic gaming machines, the is electronic gaming machine floor configuration management of the gaming machines, monitoring of the gaming machines, promotions, progressive jackpots, account play, ticket based play (known as ticket in ticket out), VIP player management, a rewards centre, graphics (such as for 20 displays), and dashboards and score cards. Further, for venues which have tables it can conduct table management. The system can also provide back of house functions and typically most of these back of house functions would be hosted at the gaming server. These include electronic 25 gaming machine analysis, marketing analysis, membership control, player tracking control, system administration, data warehousing, enterprise analysis, a provision of displays, dashboards and scorecards, customer relationship management, campaign management, channel management and 30 customer relationship management analysis. Such systems can provide additional applications such as an integrated jackpot controller. The method of an embodiment is summarised in Figure 5. 35 The method 500 involves providing a gaming management server 510, connecting a venue to a game management server in exchange for a fee 520, storing data for the venue 530 N:\Molboume\Casos\Patent\760O0-76999\P76936.AU. 1\Specis\P76936 AU.1 CAP.doc 6/04/09 - 11 at the gaming server; and controlling 540 access to the data so it can only be accessed by a client associated with the venue. 5 It will be appreciated that while in the above example, clients are shown as being at the venues, in other configurations a client may be located elsewhere. It will also be appreciated that some clients may be associated with more than one venue and be able to access data of io multiple venues or institute processing of data across multiple venues with which they are associated. It will be understood to persons skilled in the art of the invention that many modifications may be made without 15 departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, in particular, that various features of the embodiments can be combined to form further embodiments. In the claims which follow and in the preceding 20 description of the invention, except where the context requires otherwise due to express language or necessary implication, the word "comprise" or variations such as "comprises" or "comprising" is used in an inclusive sense, i.e. to specify the presence of the stated features but 25 not to preclude the presence or addition of further features in various embodiments of the invention. It is to be understood that, if any prior art publication is referred to herein, such reference does not constitute 30 an admission that the publication forms a part of the common general knowledge in any country.
