Slot machines and tables can be colored or highlighted based upon any metric in the GlobalSuite database Gaming devices can be colored to show absolute performance (coin in between X and Y in yellow, over Z in green) or relative performance (top 5% of slot machines in red, bottom 5% in blue). Analyze slot floor performance Get a complete picture of your slot floor and individual slot machine performance with intuitive data visualizations like floor maps and tree maps Accurately calculate slot game occupancy with combined rated and accounting data Visualize play patterns to determine how location affects performance. Using just a pad and pencil, almost any slot director can identify the weakest machines and the strongest performers, but few have the motivation or tools to explore and analyze the middle of their performance range. With Gaming Analytics.AI, this overlooked dimension can provide some surprising results.

Publication Trend

What has been the IP publication trend for Slot Machines?

Patents related to Slot Machines can be traced back to before 1950, although the number of filings remained relatively low all the way up till the year 2000.
