    If you look at the point where the “I-Deck” (the horizontal touch screen that is about waist high) meets the main body of the cabinet, you’ll see what looks like a tiny display. That display is a part in of the “player tracking” system.

    I’ve installed countless numbers of them in my time as a slot tech, some of them on the Everi Empire Flex, the slot cabinet pictured.

      My card-based probability/skill games are currently on Riverboats. I just made the games, no concept whatsoever about the hardware side.

      I’m curious as hell… what do they track and how?

        Games played, bet amounts, coin in/out (win/los statements), time on machine, god knows what else. Have you ever joined a “players club” at a casino where you insert a card into the machine you’re playing and get rewarded things like Free play? That’s player tracking in action.
