7 INTEGRATING REMOTE GAMING SERVER (IGT rgs ) IGT rgs TM offers you access to the entire IGT portfolio of online games. Games can be added to your site via a one-time integration. How IGT rgs Works Traditional Games Integration IGT rgs Games Integration 11 12

8 HOW IGT rgs WORKS The IGT rgs TM system is easy to install and use. Firstly, the operator selects and incorporates the chosen IGT rgs game list onto their existing website. The game user interface (UI) is branded to fit the look and feel of the operator s website, with the IGT rgs system handling all game play and outcome determinations. Whilst using IGT rgs, all registration, banking, and account management is handled by the operator s existing platform. IGT rgs communicates with the igaming system via web services gateways, and all games are browser-based and implemented in Flash. All game logic occurs on the server and is communicated to the player s browser over a secure socket layer (SSL) transport. The game engine interprets player responses, applies game rules, and determines the outcomes based on random elements obtained from the random number generator. The IGT rgs system is managed using a web-based administrative console. TRADITIONAL GAMES INTEGRATION The traditional method of integrating games is to deploy all software locally to the operator s own infrastructure. Each game has to be individually implemented, configured, and tested to run on the operator s system. This method is time consuming and expensive for the operator. Support, maintenance, and upgrades tend to be slow and costly. IGT rgs GAMES INTEGRATION In comparison, IGT rgs provides all the necessary tools with which to integrate IGT rgs onto your igaming platform, together with design guidelines and implementation documentation. The IGT rgs console includes templates, digital assets, and an easy-to-use graphical interface that allows you to incorporate your look and feel for game pop-up browser windows. You continue to run player registration, verification, banking, and games from alternate suppliers on your existing infrastructure. The full range of online games is served from IGT s secure data centre in Alderney to your infrastructure whenever you choose. No new hardware is required
