Site Controllers
Overview
IGT’s site controllers communicate with and monitor VLTs, to ensure they are online, all game play transactions are recorded and security exceptions are captured. Each site controller acts as a store and forward device should communications to the INTELLIGEN Central Management System (CMS) be lost. To reduce transactions, local controllers provide summary information consistent with cash in, cash played, and cash won. It can be configured as a protocol converter for common industry protocols like SAS and G2S to communicate between VLTs and the CMS.
IGT's family of high performance site controllers is designed to meet the diverse needs of the distributed public gaming market now and in the future.

For large implementations multiple MTSCs may be used.
