This system allows to manage simultaneously control and therefore the data transmission can be equipped with multiple devices, and congested problem is minimized.Can control electronic bill-board easily, for example general information, accumulation wager information and advertisement, and can provide accumulation stake and inner accumulation stake between facility by this system.
Safe handling power control system according to the present invention also provides a kind of facility, carries out central authorities and upgrade when monitoring all, and produce in fact real-time information from all field boundarys.
Paging equipment provides following facility: keep report and need machine maintenance to office worker's indication at the existing automatic order goods of field boundary, the accumulation wager information that is used to manage, machine.These abilities are in club, nightclub and similarly all have great advantage in the facility.
Each independent operation should be understood that the fault of central computer can not cause this system to shut down,, and guarantees high-caliber security, so can on the thronely be proceeded by smart card because processor device on the throne is housed.When central computing machine recovers online again, again it is upgraded.
Adopt online system to provide satisfactorily to link to each other the facility of accumulation stake because the present invention has automatic paging equipment immediately, if the generation problem just can use, so be very easily to the utilization that accumulates stake that links to each other.Provide a kind of like this system to need for the smooth operation that accumulates stake that links to each other.
Should understand, system according to the present invention has overcome some shortcoming of the prior art, automatically updating function to player record particularly is provided, thus for centralized computer in order to put in order with the analysis purpose access information, just no longer rely on the player must submit key.The problems referred to above are shortcomings of the system summarized in No. 72657/91 Australian patent application, and this is because therefore the situation that often has the player to lose its credit card in nightclub does not advocate that the player often returns to key central control place.
And by a kind of system is provided, in this system when on machine, playing, independent amount of debit side just increases, system of the present invention has overcome the shortcoming of early stage " cash-free " system, insert when reading in the machine and by card reader when player's card in the system in early days, the total amount of amount of credit side is sent in this machine by descending.If administrative authority need safeguard that even operation is controlled by CPU, this is recurrent situation to the electric mechanical counter in the machine, so above-mentioned advantage is with regard to particular importance.For example when card inserts the machine of low price, the cash of quite big quantity is deposited in, descending the sending into of a large amount of amount of credit side means because excessive mechanical wear, this counter may produce fault, perhaps increase the amount of credit side required time of total amount for machine, this machine is a poor efficiency, or can not work basically.
In addition, intelligent processor does not comprise player's amount of credit side information in known system, in order to obtain this information, must read player's card.Because card and machine do not contain the amount of credit side record of renewal simultaneously, and card itself also may suffer the aging influence of electronics, so will damage security.
Therefore the invention provides a kind of practicable " cash-free " nightclub operating system, this system can keep very a large amount of game machines, and need not to equip powerful expensive central computer system.
Certainly should be appreciated that; though the present invention has been described above by way of example; but other improvement project that those it will be apparent to those skilled in the art and variation scheme all will be considered to fall among the protection domain and boundary line of broad of claim of the present invention.
