Which system monitors game play, tracks, records and reports security exceptions at a VLT and/or site controller, and monitors network availability?

• A. Central Monitoring System
• B. Network Performance Manager
• C. Security Compliance Monitor
• D. Central Management System (CMS)

Answer: (D)

Central Management System provides a single, integrated platform that oversees gameplay activity from VLTs and site controllers, records security events, and reports exceptions, while also continuously monitoring the network to ensure connectivity and availability. This centralized approach allows operators and regulators to see real-time status, generate audit trails, and trigger alerts when security breaches or abnormal network conditions occur. The other options describe narrower functions: one focuses only on general device or system monitoring, another on network performance, and another on security compliance. Because the requirement is to monitor play, track security events, report exceptions, and keep tabs on network availability across VLTs and site controllers, this comprehensive Central Management System best fits those needs.
