Gaming terminal data monitoring network

摘要

A method of storing data serially transmitted between a gaming terminal and a computer on one or more servers in a network. The gaming terminal and computer are typically linked in gaming establishments by a serial communication link utilizing serial communication protocols. Although this data is stored on the gaming establishment's computers, it is also highly desirable to make this data accessible on a secure server. Data is monitored and captured directly at the gaming terminal with a communication interface. The communication interface converts the captured data from a serial communication protocol into a network communication protocol for storage on a server in a network.
