Maintaining your Gaming Operations under the current enforced closure
Aristocrat Technologies would like to offer advice to our valued customers on maintaining their Gaming Operations following the Government mandate to close all licenced clubs, hotels and casinos.
Our intention is to ensure that your current products can power up and be operational as soon as the Government permits venues to reopen.
Gaming products (EGMs, MTGMs & CRT’s) have a backup memory to ensure the machine retains specific legislative & meter information to comply with regionally specific regulatory requirements. All EGMs & MTGM’s powered down for an extended period will be reliant on the rechargeable battery used for the machine’s back-up memory.
Please note that EGMs should be powered on/off individually via their main power switch. Multiple EGMs should not be simultaneously powered on/off via the switchboard circuit breaker, as this can cause temporary loading issues to the EGM supply circuits.
Due to the nature of capacitors and NiMH type batteries used in an EGM’s major components, Aristocrat recommends powering on all EGMs for a minimum of 4 hours every three days to allow batteries and capacitors to maintain charge.
This should reduce the instances of memory backup corruption and component failure, which may lead to unexpected EGM down time when venues reopen. The backup batteries in older products may no longer function at optimum capacity or hold enough charge and replacement parts may be limited.
Third party, System or regulatory/monitoring devices e.g Link controllers, Graphic Servers, Monitoring Server & Equipment Racks, SMIBs and Venue specific PMM hardware should continue to be left powered on where possible.
If you are an Aristocrat VMS Systems customer can we ask that you, please keep your servers powered on and operational. This will ensure the integrity of the hardware is maintained.
In these unprecedented times, Aristocrat will offer any assistance to our customers that is available and within our control.
Thank you for your continued support and please stay safe.
Aristocrat Technologies Australia.
