Abstract
An access system enables casino personnel to access casino information from a casino computer through a network accessible display device that contains a web browser. The access system comprises a thin client user interface server. Information provided to the casino computer can be requested from multiple files and provided in customized formats or from among numerous available formats at the request of the casino personnel. The request can be configured and responded to according to such diverse information requests as data/records specific to personnel (e.g., dealers, pit bosses, croupier, security guards, etc.), specific tables, specific games, specific classes of games, pits, wagering limits, shufflers, roulette wheels, and the like, and the requests can define bases of information such as performance, down time, volume, frequency, and individual round events (e.g., hands in cards or spins in roulette or tosses in craps), and the requests can be tailored on casino personnel input to specific time intervals or histories. Special software is not needed at the user side of the thin client user interface to access the database.
