Abstract
A method includes the steps of receiving, from a first casino, first casino slot machine data on a per-spin basis from at least one slot machine at the first casino, receiving, from a second casino, second casino slot machine data on a per-spin basis from at least one slot machine at the second casino, comparing the first and second casino slot machine data to at least one predetermined threshold, based at least on comparing the first casino slot machine data to the at least one predetermined threshold outputting a first recommendation to the first casino, and based at least on comparing the second casino slot machine data to the at least one predetermined threshold outputting a second recommendation to the second casino.
Claims19
A method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, from a first casino, first casino slot machine data, wherein the first casino slot machine data includes data on a per-spin basis from at least one slot machine at the first casino, wherein the at least one slot machine at the first casino is a first plurality of slot machines at the first casino, and wherein the first casino slot machine data includes data on the per-spin basis from each of the first plurality of slot machines at the first casino;
- using the first casino slot machine data on the per-spin basis from each of the first plurality of slot machines at the first casino to create a first casino standardized volatility scale that represents at least one of:
- (i) a deviation in slot machine game win magnitude across the first plurality of slot machines at the first casino and (ii) a deviation in slot machine game win frequency across the first plurality of slot machines at the first casino;
- receiving, from a second casino, second casino slot machine data, wherein the second casino slot machine data includes data on a per-spin basis from at least one slot machine at the second casino, the second casino being a different casino located at a different location than the first casino;
- comparing the first casino slot machine data, including the data on the per-spin basis from the at least one slot machine at the first casino, to at least one predetermined threshold;
- comparing the second casino slot machine data, including the data on the per-spin basis from the at least one slot machine at the second casino, to at least one predetermined threshold;
- based at least on comparing the first casino slot machine data to the at least one predetermined threshold, outputting a first recommendation to the first casino, and wherein based at least on comparing the first casino standardized volatility scale to the at least one predetermined threshold, outputting to the first casino the first recommendation that includes a recommendation to install at the first casino a particular type of slot machine that will, when installed at the first casino, adjust the first casino standardized volatility scale by a first degree of volatility;
- and
- based at least on comparing the second casino slot machine data to the at least one predetermined threshold, outputting a second recommendation to the second casino.
