SAS University Edition includes SAS Studio, Base SAS, SAS/STAT, SAS/IML, SAS/ACCESS and several time series forecasting procedures from SAS/ETS. It's the same world-class analytics software used by more than 83,000 business, government and university sites around the world, including 92 of the top 100 companies on the Fortune Global 500 ®. SAS client board can be used for slot machine accounting automation purposes and player tracking and bonus system. My job for the past many years has involved writing the software that runs casino slot machines and their back end systems (player's club software and most recently server based gaming systems). I have experience not just with the software, but also with the on-site operations of multiple casinos - as I've had to go on-site to fix issues at times.

Sas Software Slot Machines For Beginners
The SAS or also known as IGT’s Slot accounting system is the industry standard when it comes to slot accounting protocol for gaming machines such as video slots or stepper reel slots. It’s an industry standard because IGT is the 500 pound gorilla in the industry and pretty much forced everybody to adopted it. Their latest version is the SAS 6.02 protocol.
Obtaining documentation on it is very difficult unless you are a member of Gaming Standard Association. Becoming a member will set you back about 10 grand per year which is a small chunk change if you are a big gaming company or half your networth if you are a hobbyist. As a small time hobbyist, what can you do? You can reverse engineer their protocol by going to ebay and get a cheap IGT’s S2000 machine and connect your serial port sniffer and that is what I did.
