  • the gaming machine may be configured to implement gaming machine accounting and player tracking functions. These operations maybe facilitated by a Slot Machine Interface Board or "SMIB" 120. As illustrated, the SMIB 120 may connect to the master gaming controller 102 via the backplane 100, and may communicate with an external server 122 via a communication link. In one prior art configuration, the gaming machine may utilize a Slot Accounting Standard or "SAS" protocol in order to implement various gaming machine accounting functions (such as tracking of wagers, game wins and other information, as is known in the art). Due to the interface with the external server, the gaming machine accounting information may be obtained or tracked externally to the machine.
