- the application web server (14) executes a management information software program (18), which can be configured to analyse the transaction data in the transaction database (16) and to produce management reports according to the needs of particular application.
- the management information software program (18) can be configured to produce a report on net wins or losses per player in the player register, per single player station (3), per group of player stations whose geographical location falls within a selected geographic area, or for the gaming system (1) as a whole. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that it will be necessary for the application web server (14) to interrogate, via the gaming server (2), the contents of each of the player database (15), the transaction database (16) and the player station database (17) to produce management reports of the type mentioned above.
- the management information software program (18) of the application web server (14) can also be configured to accumulate a proportion, in this embodiment 3%, of all player wagers in an accumulation account (not shown).
- the contents of the accumulation account (not shown) may be utilised by an operator of the gaming system (1) for purposes of social responsibility.
- the management information software program (18) may be configured to report on net win for all player stations falling within a predetermined underprivileged area, and the operator of the gaming system (1) may elect to reimburse the underprivileged community out of the social responsibility account for all losses incurred by any players at player stations falling within the underprivileged area. It will be further appreciated by those skilled in the art that the management information software program (18) may also be configured to produce reports for the purpose of making fiscal payments to a competent tax authority.
- the game of chance offered for play be the gaming system (1) may be a game of video poker or video blackjack instead of the game of video slots described above.
- gaming system (1) may offer a plurality different of games for play at any player station (3), a player being able to select, from a menu, any one of the available games for play.
- a touch screen may replace the display monitor (6) on each display station (3), permitting the pushbutton panel on each display station to be dispensed with.
- the player identification code may be issued by an operator of the gaming system (1) instead of being derived from a player identification token.
- the system may be such as to require a player to purchase credit at a player station (3) by means of a payment token such as a credit card or a debit card, instead of by means of coins or banknotes as described above.
- a player may be required to purchase credit from a vending station. It is envisaged that, in this scenario, the player would be presented with a voucher encoded with an amount of credit purchased by the player, and the player would then transfer the credit to the player's credit account by keying in the voucher code by means of the numeric keypad (7) on the player station (3).
- the application web server (14) may be configured to derive game statistics from the transaction database (16) that can be used to verify the performance, stability and fairness of any game offered by the gaming system (1).
