Schematics, proof of concept

GMOOCA Home Player Center

Concept image of a slot machine with the GMOOCA Home Player Center insert below the game screen, showing a welcome screen and a lit blue NFC tap ring
Concept render, not final hardware. Model numbers and versions shown are not final. Player names, points and amounts are sample data.

One touchscreen insert that replaces the bridge, the TITO board and the player tracking unit. It fits the player tracking opening below the game screen.

  • SAS built in: tickets in and out, free play and bonus credits, with no PC needed.
  • Player tracking: tap a GMOOCA card on the lit ring, or use the machine's existing magstripe card reader.
  • Bonus wheel: players earn session points and spin for free play; the award lands on the credit meter.
  • Connections: Wi-Fi 6 and optional wired Ethernet to the GMOOCA app; it works standalone without them.
  • Power: the cabinet's spare 12 or 24 V.

First-pass schematics are drawn and independently reviewed, as a proof of concept. Next come bench tests of the screen, card taps and bonus credits on development kits.

First prototype boards

GMOOCA SAS Gateway

A small box that connects one machine's SAS port to your network with a single Ethernet cable, so you don't need to run a serial cable from every machine to your PC.

  • Wired, powered over the network cable, and links one machine to the GMOOCA app.

The first boards (Rev A) are with the board maker. A smaller second revision follows the player tracking prototypes.

Board designed, on hold

GMOOCA TITO Magic

A small plug-and-play board that lets one machine print and accept tickets on its own, with no PC and no network. Tap the service button for free-play credits.

  • Plugs into the SAS port; no PC or network.
  • Two taps of the service button add $100 of free play; four taps add $500. Amounts are set on a small switch.
  • Detects the machine's settings automatically.

Schematics, proof of concept

GMOOCA Enterprise Floor Module

Machine interface and player display in one bezel module, designed for casino floors.

  • A dedicated SAS processor keeps meters, door events and tickets running even while the display system updates.
  • Linux display system on an industry-standard plug-in module, so there's no single-vendor lock-in.
  • Bonded-glass 6.2-inch touchscreen.
  • Phone-wallet-ready card reader module.
  • One PoE+ network cable carries both data and power; cabinet power is the alternative.
  • Isolated SAS connection.

Concept

GMOOCA SAS Gateway Wireless

The SAS Gateway's job over Wi-Fi, for game rooms where running a network cable to every machine isn't practical.

  • A wireless version of the gateway for game rooms where running cable isn't practical.

Early planning. It will share the wired Gateway's core and security, adding Wi-Fi and an antenna that works from inside a steel cabinet.

What's next

  1. Bench testing of the player tracking building blocks on development kits: the 6.2-inch screen, card taps, and SAS bonus credits on a real machine.
  2. Display samples from shortlisted 6.2-inch panel makers. The insert is designed around the standard 6.2-inch size used by existing player tracking displays.
  3. Circuit board layout of the Home Player Center, then a first prototype run.
  4. Custom inserts: one universal core plus an adapter plate for each cabinet family, starting with the cabinets we own.
  5. Software: player tracking, mini-games and rewards come with Gaming Manager 3. Gaming Manager 2 continues to be finished and tested.
  6. TITO Magic and the smaller Gateway revision resume after the player tracking prototypes.
