Benefits of S2S
 Standardizes communications amongst servers and devices
other than EGMs.
 S2S complements GDS and BOB – a consistent set of data
is communicated at all levels.
 Supports “plug and play” for systems and other devices.
 Interfacing - all components speak the same language.
 Integrating - custom solutions are developed for each new
conversation.
 Standardization promotes portability, interoperability and
reusability.

S2S and Class II
In a Class II environment, each manufacturer provides their
own server for central determination and other game functions.
The Problem: three game manufacturers means
 Three separate accounting reports,
 Three player tracking feeds, and
 Three voucher systems.
• vouchers are only redeemable on the same manufacturer’s games.
• vouchers are only redeemable at the same manufacturer’s cashiering
station.
Class II presents many of the same challenges that will be
encountered with server-based gaming.
