System and method for distributed data warehousing
First Claim
1. A method for warehousing data comprising:
- receiving, from each of a plurality of properties, corresponding patron data and gaming machine data;
appending property characteristics to the patron data and gaming machine data so as to generate a plurality of datasets respectively corresponding to the plurality of properties;
combining the plurality of datasets so as to generate a combined dataset; and
populating a data warehouse with said combined dataset so as to generate stored combined data.

Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for gathering data from a plurality of properties. The system includes a plurality of data warehouses and each of the warehouses is located at a corresponding one of the plurality of properties. A central server unit is operatively connected to the plurality of data warehouses, and is configured to receive patron data and gaming machine data from each of the plurality of data warehouses, and to combine the patron data and said gaming machine data with corresponding property characteristics from each of the plurality of warehouses so as to generate a combined dataset. In variations of the invention, the patron, machine and property data is organized into a multi-dimension data model so that combinations of the patron, machine and said property data to be displayed vis-á-vis one another.
