Managing EGMs with venue closures arising from coronavirus

We are aware that some manufacturers have advised that:

• some EGMs in a ‘power-down’ state for prolonged periods may develop problems with battery power
• older EGMs are more susceptible to component failure through repeated power cycles.

Venues should also be aware of any requirements relating to monitoring equipment including site controllers, communications racks, routers/switches, SMIBS, UPS and MicroLOT terminals. Intralot recently wrote to all venue operators outlining these requirements.
