    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.

        Why would an add-on be needed for this when all of those are tracked by the internals?

        What special and unique features do these offer that do not come native to the device?
