The Task - To Enhance LCD in-machine displays
Progressive Gaming came to SSI with a request to upgrade the communications protocol on an electronic LCD panel used in one of their casino games. Progressive Gaming is often looking for ways to apply their networked slot gaming systems to multiple environments. The purpose of upgrading the protocol was to allow for the deployment in additional customer networks and show jackpot pool information on the LCD as well as display celebrations when these jackpots are won.

The SSI Solution - Adding Additional Communication Protocols for Messaging
SSI responded to the task by simply adding additional communication protocols proprietary to gaming. These message-parsing protocols enhanced the LCD display by processing messages sent across the network. The enhanced LCD screen can be used in additional networks to show jackpot pool information and displays jackpot celebrations on a winning machine. SSI worked with the client to incorporate the new protocol parser into the existing platform code, and then delivered it for testing in a live gaming environment.
