Back in 1992 the casino I worked for in Las Vegas sponsered a Ceronix seminar put on by IGT, I'm going to attempt to copy the hand out that was given at the start of the seminar.  IGT's monitor specialist (Manny) did the presentation, especially useful is the last three pages (I hope they are not too worn to copy well).  I'll try to post three pages at a time so it won't be too overwhelming.

The leg wetting final three pages...you can take my notes and use them or ignore them...your choice!

*NOTE* The flow chart refers to a 1492 monitor...some of my notes refer to a 1490 monitor as indicated by a "90" in the note.
