Communication with Associated Equipment

Communication with Associated Equipment. (a) Any gaming device which is capable of bidirectional communication with internal or external associated equipment must utilize a communication protocol which insures that erroneous data or signals will not adversely affect the operation of the device. (b) Any new or modified gaming device submitted for approval which is used with a progressive controller or any other associated equipment that is intended to signal a jackpot hit of any level must provide a complex signal consisting of at least eight logical transitions involving time and magnitude. The device may optionally provide an additional jackpot signal intended for use with older progressive equipment. (Adopted: 09/15/2004.)
