Card Handling
Guidelines
CAUTION: Failure to comply with these guidelines damages the cards and renders the software
unusable.
Do not attempt to access the CompactFlash Card contents using a computer or any card-reading
device. Doing so modifies the card and causes the validation process to fail.
When using the Kobetron LT400 tool, choose Sector Method to validate the card. Do not use
the File Method.
If using the DVCK GLI validation tool, only v3.0 may be used. Do not use any other DVCK
versions.
If any of the above guidelines are not followed, new software must be ordered from WMS. If
returned CompactFlash Cards do not show signs of inappropriate use, the WMS product warranty
applies. All game components are under warranty for 90 days from installation date, barring any
unauthorized actions and failures to comply with published WMS usage guidelines and warnings.

Introduction to This section describes the Random Access Memory (RAM) clear procedures for the CPU-NXT,
the RAM Clear CPU-NXT2, and CPU-NXT3.2 boards. The RAM clear procedure requires a RAM clear CF Card,
Process Figure 2-1. The RAM clear CF Card initializes game parameters that command game software to
reset. Because many jurisdictions do not allow games to be shipped with the software installed, the
software is usually installed upon delivery. Software may be updated when new versions of software
become available, or in order to change the game theme.
When to Perform a The RAM clear procedure is performed at the following times:

and EGM acquires certificates from the Certificate Authority for secure network communications, and
Configuration the EGM is configured to connect to the Central Game Controller (CGC).
NOTE: Certificate enrollment is performed only if IGT’s SBX is the Primary Host. Certificate
generation must be completed before proceeding to the Ethernet IP setup and configuration
procedures.
There are two procedures associated with the Network Gaming Setup and Configuration:
Setup and Configuration of the EGM with the WMS AOM as the Primary Host
Setup and Configuration of the EGM with IGT SBX as the Primary Host
Network Gaming The following terms are used in the Network Gaming Setup and Configuration procedures,
Terms Table 2-19.
Table 2-19 Network Gaming Terms.
Term Definition
AOM (WMS) Administration, Operations, and Maintenance system. This refers to the network component
that implements Game-to-System capabilities and communicates with the EGMs.
Base Game What WMS has referred to in the past as the theme. A Base Game is differentiated from a
Portal Game in that Base Games can be played by themselves, whereas a Portal game can
only be played if a Base game is also played.
CGC Central Game Controller is a server connected to the AOM, Media Controller, and the EGM by
means of casino network.
EGM Electronic Gaming Machine.
G2S Game-to-System protocol used for communications between the AOM and EGM.
Media Controller A WMS network component that controls an Overhead Sign.
Network Name Server or The Network Name Server resolves host names and domain names to IP addresses on
Domain Name Server networks that use the TCP/IP protocol. In the current architecture, the IP address of the
Network Name Server is the same as the IP address of the CGC because it resides on the
same server.
Portal Client The portion of a Portal game that runs on the EGM and is typically the display element of the
Portal game. The Portal Client may also contain minimal logic, but this is typically limited to
general functionality such as ensuring wagers are successfully sent to the Portal Master. The
Portal Client may consist of three independent pieces: 1) art and sound resources, 2) display
logic in the form of Javascript, and 3) a separate executable responsible for implementing the
general functionality.
Portal Game A “theme” or game concept that is implemented as a Portal. It can also refer collectively to all
of the various components needed to implement the game concept, including display and
logic components on the EGM, CGC, and Media Controller, and any configuration files
required at the AOM.
Remote Configuration and The process of delivering software updates and configuration changes by means of a server
Download (RCD) on a network to the EGMs.

Diagnostics Using Test screen. Ethernet diagnostics provides a method for WMS technicians to test the network
the Message Delay/ infrastructure in the casinos for the Big Event Server, Ultra Hit Progressive, or Portal games.
Loss Screen
NOTE: If testing the Big Event Server, use the Big Event Server IP Address: 10.10.1.1
This procedure can be performed when the games are first installed, or if there are networking
infrastructure issues that are causing the EGMs and CGC to lose communication and cause an
EGM tilt.
The Message Delay/Loss Test screen performs the following functions:
Verifies that the EGMs tested are physically connected to the Local Area Network (LAN).
Verifies that the network address is correct for the EGMs tested.
Determines if packets are lost between EGMs tested.
Verifies ethernet connectivity between two EGMS.
Measures (on a graph) how long it takes to send a message between two EGMs,
(Transmission Rate).
Verifies Big Event Server ethernet connectivity.
The Message Delay/Loss Test screen allows testing of the ethernet connectivity between two
EGMs, or the ethernet connectivity between an EGM and the Big Event Server. This procedure
requires the use of two different EGMs to test the network infrastructure between EGMs.
Figure 3-124 displays the two network testing scenarios for the Message Delay/Loss Test.

Ethernet Diagnostics 4-33
Ethernet The Message Delay/Loss screen provides a way to test for networking or infrastructure issues that
Diagnostics may cause the EGMs to lose communication. The Message Delay/Loss Test graph plots latencies
for the messages received, indicating how far apart (in milliseconds) the messages are received
from the peer EGM.
This procedure can be performed when the games are first installed, or if there are networking
infrastructure issues that are causing the EGMs and CGC to lose communication and cause an
EGM tilt.
The Message Delay/Loss Test screen performs the following functions:
Verifies that the EGMs tested are physically connected to the Local Area Network (LAN).
Verifies that the network address is correct for the EGMs tested.
Determines if packets are lost between EGMs tested.
Verifies ethernet connectivity between two EGMS.
Measures (on a graph) how long it takes to send a message between two EGMs,
(Transmission Rate).
Verifies Big Event Server ethernet connectivity.
The Message Delay/Loss Test screen allows testing of the ethernet connectivity between two
EGMs, or the ethernet connectivity between an EGM and the Big Event Server. This procedure
requires the use of two different EGMs to test the network infrastructure between EGMs,

Progressive Liability Transfer for Scaling Progressives 5-19
Progressive This section details maintenance tasks associated with the administration of scaling progressive
Liability games, including:
Transfer for Transferring Progressive Liability
Scaling Reconciling Current Progressive Amounts
Progressives
Viewing the Progressive Event History Log
Data Recovery For traditional or non-scaling standalone progressives (SAPs), WMS requires that the operator
reconstruct progressive liability by using video surveillance footage to determine the current
progressive amounts from the top box or In-Game Meter.
The difference in data recovery procedures for scaling progressives and standard progressives is
that you cannot use the Electronic Video Surveillance to view the amount of the jackpots in the
event of a crash. The Progressive Accounting screen only displays the amount for the current
wager, so all of the values are not displayed.
When to Perform a For a scaling progressive, a portion of a wager is contributed to a Progressive Pool. The total
Transfer of Liability increment of a Progressive Pool that is over the base amount is called the Progressive Liability. The
Progressive Liability must be paid to the players, and must not be kept by operators as a profit.
NOTE: It is illegal for operators to retain the Progressive Liability Amount as profit. Any amount of
money that has been accrued in the jackpots must be accounted for by the operator and transferred
back to the player.
In the event of Game failure, or if the game requires a RAM clear, operators are required to
determine the amount of the progressive liability on the machine, and transfer it to another
progressive jackpot that has odds that are better or the same as the original jackpot.
There are three different scenarios discussed in this document for the transfer of liability:
Reinstatement of progressive liability as a result of a machine failure, in which current
progressive values are unavailable, or unable to be retrieved by means of the external
display, or the administration screens.
Reinstatement of progressive liability, as a result of a machine failure, in which current
progressive values are available or known.
Transfer of progressive liability to or from a scaling progressive theme.
Configuration Order Perform the configuration of the Super-Multi Progressive in the following order:
NOTE: When Super-Multi Progressive operation is enabled, the max bet, min bet, and bet per line
settings are one-time settable.
1 Touch Screen Calibration.
2 Set up Date and Time.
