A gaming machine entitlement reallocation centralised server and associated server-implemented method for dynamically reallocating gaming machine entitlements for a plurality of distributed venue gaming machines across a data network for gaming machine revenue optimisation

摘要

There is provided a gaming machine entitlement reallocation centralised server implemented method for dynamically reallocating gaming machine entitlements for a plurality of distributed gaming machines across a data network for gaming machine revenue optimisation. The method comprises receiving historical gaming data comprising at least historical gaming machine revenue data from a plurality of gaming machines at a respective plurality of gaming venues; generating a time series revenue predictive model for the at least one of the plurality of gaming machines and gaming venues using the historical gaming data; calculating predicted revenue for the at least one of the plurality of gaming machines and gaming venues using the time series revenue predictive model for a plurality of future time slots; calculating revenue optimising gaming machine entitlement reallocations for the plurality of future time slots for the at least one of the plurality of gaming machines and gaming venues using the predicted revenue; and dynamically reallocating a plurality of gaming machine entitlement across the data network for at least a subset of each the plurality of future time slots so as to selectively enable and disable a corresponding number of a subset of the gaming machines.
