Each Bluberi Game Themes requires its own Net340 and black hub. These games cannot be run with any other there to the game server. They MUST be run by themselves or Issues will occur.

...

Net340 - A new Net340 with the proper 303c-A and 303-B software installed is needed. A new Dkey is also needed. Using the Dipswitches set the bank number to one that is not currently in use. (NO NOT REUSE A OLD DKEY THAT HAS BEEN ON THE SERVER IN THE PAST).

RT860 - Multiple Net340s can be plugged into 1 RT860 depending on the RT860s Config#. For Example, Royal Reels, Liberty 7, Cool Cats can ll be plugged into the same RT860 but Superball will be on its own RT860 as it uses a different RT860 Config#.

  • Step 1 - Once the games are installed and connected to the Net340 and RT860, you will need to provide information from each new game to the TAC (Technical Assistance Center) or IAA agent (Installation & Administration Agent) you are working with.

  • Game DKEY (Each game has its own individual Dkey # found under the Versions Tab in the Main Menu).

  • Net Dkey (The Net Dkey is also found under the Versions Tab in the Main Menu).

  • Theme and version ie. Royal Reels v5.07 (This can be found on the software DIMM and also found in the Main Menus upper left corner).

This information is needed so the TAC or IAA agent can properly assign the Net card and games to the proper theme and profile on the server.

If the agent is unable to see the game DKEY, you can force that DKEY number to the server by attempting to pull the Game Config 3 to 5 times. This should push the game DKEY to the server so the agent can properly assign in.

Once the agent pushes the profile to the game; you will:

  • Step 2 - Pull the Game Profile from the Game Config Tab in the Main Menu. You should see denominations pop up in (GREEN) color. Verify with the casino that the proper Denominations are selected. If changes are needed to be made let the agent know.

...

  • Step 3 - On the Main Menu in lower left corner you should see ‘Send Config’. Once sent; you should see the ‘Game Configuration Sent Okay' Windows pop up on screen.

  • Step 4 - Now go to each game and read config and it will pull the main game settings from the Netcard. (You will need to change the SAS Asset Number and Machine Number on each game and pull Game profile from the server).

Converting Games to a New Title Not Already on The Floor
