General Description
Physical Description
Table 1 - EGM Major Components
EGM Module Description
Cabinet The cabinet is the outer structural enclosure that houses the all
the EGM components.
LCD Screen(s) The EGM includes one curved screen. The LCD screen is the
primary display for game operation and status.
Touch Screen The touch screen on the main LCD screen allows game play by
touching the screen.
Carrier Board The carrier board interfaces with the EGM components. It
houses the central processor and other logic components.
Backplane Board The backplane board connects the carrier board to the EGM
components. The section of the backplane board that interfaces
with the carrier board is located at the back of logic cage.
Logic Cage The logic cage is a secure enclosure that houses the carrier
board assembly.
Power Supply Unit (PSU) The power supply unit converts AC mains input voltage into
low voltage DC power directed to the EGM components via the
backplane board.
Bill Acceptor The bill acceptor validates inserted bank notes and tickets.
Validated bank notes and tickets are stored in the drop box.
Player Marketing Module
(PMM)
The player marketing module interfaces with a venue network
system that records player transactions and sends messages to
individual players.
Electromechanical Meters Electromechanical meters are used to record accounting data in
a physical format.
Printer The ticket printer provides players with redeemable tickets.
Communications
Interface
The communications interface links the EGM to networks and
other equipment.
