using SAS

anyone playing around with sas figure out  a decent way to figure out which denomination the player is using.

there is one command that will do it but it doesnt work on any of my s2000 but it does work on my gameking.

the reason i want this is i have written my program to do sas progressive and in order for multidom machines to show the proper progressive  amount and to be able to increment the progressive properly and need to see which denom they are using and how many coins they are betting

btw today that the 7 seg progressive dsiplay shows the sas progressive amount which i think it pretty cool

Hello Zarobhr

Not tested but it seems like these will do the trick. Multi denom only supported in SAS4 and upwards.
$B1 = Current Player Denom = ,03,%d01

$B2 = Message Length   = ,03,%d01
$B2 = Number of Denoms = ,04,%d01
$B2 = Denom 1          = ,05,%d01

Best thing to do probably is set your accounting denom as 1 cent and base al your calculation on accounting denom meter movement.

yea its the B1 and B2 that arent working on the s2000's and the SAS ver is 6.x. not sure why it doesnt work.  now i did find a way if i turn on the extending gaming info sent from the machine to the sas program i can seem to get it from that info. so with that turned on i get notification when

coins inserted
game started this one has coins bet and coin in meter and denomination played.
reel stops
game ending

so with that info actually makes it easier since the info is sent every game played

incase anyone wandering why i want sas progressive versus one of the others is that i am writing an addon that will display current progressive amounts on my flat screen monitor

zarobhr, do you use Oracle DB or MS-SQL?

Do people still use oracle?  :279-

And is that oracle oracle or is that MySQL oracle... I'm a SQL server dba so I can't resist whenever I see anyone mention that terrible word. I'm sure people on the oracle side say the same thing about SQL Server

Come on, be fair. :30-   I used to be a SQL server dba and even then I acknowledged the capabilities of Oracle. I never had access to it so I never learned it, but would have if the opportunity had been available. I recall seeing the complete set of "manuals" on my sister's bookshelf once when I visited her at work, and they took up about two or three feet of shelf space – or was it four? :5- :127- :208- :208-
