The Pulse CMS Monitor

How to use the Central Monitoring System (CMS) to your advantage

The Central Monitoring System electronically transfers metering and performance information from a Club’s electronic gaming machine network to mainframe computers for the purpose of monitoring the venue and calculating gaming tax liability.

It is vital that Club Management have access to this information to ensure that it is accurate and that the tax liability is calculated correctly.

The Pulse CMS Monitor is a computer software application that monitors the CMS computer recording those same metering and performance details The information is recorded every 15 minutes and stored in a system database ready for further analysis.

In addition, the Pulse CMS Monitor. . .

  1. Interfaces recoded meter information to the Pulse Gaming Machine Analysis system or other using industry format.
  2. Provides an extensive range of analysis tools to examine and analyse the data recorded.

  3. Includes an alerting service to advise of abnormal conditions in your gaming machine operations.

The first advantage is having the meter readings available when required (daily or weekly). They are then read automatically into the Pulse Poker Machine Management System. Once money amount recordings (CCP, clearances, etc) are in, all the very important management reporting is available showing cash flow variations, meters to actual discrepancies, net performance report and much more. The LAB report together with the Gaming Tax liability is available whenever required.

That then is the next advantage. You are able to check the Tax Man whenever you want to. You know what your liability is before you get the bill and the amount taken out. Very importantly you have a clear audit trail of day to day transactions
