SGI Technology Applied to Slot Machines

Konami Gaming has announced that they will be using SGI with their slot machines to give real time player feedback. The slot machine tracking software maker has decided that each of their sites that have more than 300 slot machines will use the SGI high performance computing hardware. They are also using the Oracle Database in 177 casino management systems across the US.

They are planning on seven more SGI solutions installed in the near future, and they are moving existing Atix servers to the Altix Platform. Because the slot machines are now electronic, it was just a matter of time before someone tapped into that market. The new slot machines will be able to handle better and better software, which will allow more challenges to their players.

The slot machines will be able to read the players’ ID cards and prompt them about incentives and promotions that the casino is offering. They will be able to use the same slot machine software at other gambling venues as well – such as Keno and bingo. They can literally track millions of transactions per day across all of the slot machines.

The platforms that Konami Casino Management System runs can track both carded and un-carded game play – as well as updating each player’s game trail. It can give real time responses while the slot machine is being played – no other software can accomplish that.
