Onsite Verification at Will Rogers Downs Shows Efficiency Over
Competition
On Thursday, April 13, 2006, Cherokee Casinos’ Will Rogers Downs
in Claremore, Oklahoma enlisted
Eclipse Compliance Testing, division of Nick
Farley & Associates,
Inc. to conduct an onsite review and examination of 101
VGT Live Call Bingo Bonanza Bingo player terminals
and the respective system server. The purpose of this
inspection was to assure that the installed games and servers
were properly operating with the correct software versions that
had heretofore been approved by Eclipse Compliance
Testing. All player terminals were tested for proper
communication to ensure that all accounting and security
information was being transmitted correctly. Previously, a
competing independent test laboratory performed a similar onsite
inspection which required the use of four employees over four
days in order to complete an inspection of 250 machines. Eclipse
Compliance Testing
was able to complete the same
type of inspection for 101 machines using only two employees in
one day.
“The quick yet efficient manner of testing, that our clients
have come to appreciate and expect of
Eclipse
Compliance Testing was highlighted during this
onsite inspection. Following a competitor’s completed
examination gave us a chance to showcase, in comparison, our
proficient testing procedures. This is the second time that we
have been able to conduct such a thorough, yet efficient
examination of gaming equipment in just one day. Our swift
turnaround time, and impeccable testing results, clearly
reflects our ability to compete among our peers, and that
competition breeds improvements and efficiencies in testing. ”

Successful Onsite Inspection Completed in Only One Business Day
Eclipse
Compliance Testing conducted an onsite
review and examination of 100 VGT Live Call Bingo
Bonanza Bingo player terminals and their respective system
server on Thursday, March 30, 2006 at the Choctaw Nation’s Blue
Ribbon Downs Racino (BRD) in Sallisaw, Oklahoma. The scope of
this assessment was to assure that the games and servers
installed on the property were properly operating with the
approved software versions that had been previously authorized
by Nick Farley & Associates, Inc., parent company of
Eclipse
Compliance Testing, under the
Rules for Racetrack Gaming promulgated by the Oklahoma Horse
Racing Commission (OHRC). Additionally, the player terminals
being examined underwent communication testing to assure the
proper transmission of security and accounting information to
the system server. A similar examination of 250 devices had
been recently undertaken at this facility by a competing
independent test laboratory using four staff members over a
period of four days. Having brought in only two employees and
finishing their inspection in one business day,
Eclipse
Compliance Testing completed their inspection of
100 games and the respective server in one-quarter of the time
and engaging only half the staff of their competition.
“Two [Eclipse Compliance Testing] employees worked with OHRC staff and BRD
staff to conduct this inspection. We began the inspection
around 9AM, trained the OHRC staff on the use and operation of
the FileCheck software verification tool, conducted the
inspection, and had received authorization from the OHRC to
allow the games to go live before 5:30PM on the same day. Such
an efficient inspection is unprecedented!
Eclipse
Compliance Testing is excited to be able to offer our
clients efficient and top quality testing services that stand
out among our industry peers. Our swift, yet thorough,
examination is a strong proponent to our credibility in an
industry in which integrity is a valuable and necessary asset.”
