11. 3Q08 Update - Data Entry Introduction–
During the past 6-months we have re-designed the data entry process. This updated system has been designed to facilitate the entering of the data into the WGR database by decreasing data entry time and increasing the accuracy of entered data. In order to accomplish these goals we have set-up a HINT field. HINT will list all known variations of a game name allowing you to choose the actual game you wish to list in the database record. All known defaults are tied to each specific game’s version. These defaults are accurate and actual. The defaults match what we have historically listed in our database and what the manufacturer has listed for each game name. DO NOT change the defaults for a correctly chosen game.

12. 3Q08 Update - Data Entry
Once a Base Game Name has been chosen the HINTS will display the various game options available. Select the game that most closely matches the data you have collected at the casino, and then hit the tab button. This will automatically enter all the correct default information for the specified game. To complete the database record, you will need to fill-in the missing information:
ﾘ Denomination
ﾘ Lines & Coins OR Credits
ﾘ Units
ﾘ Units Occupied
ﾘ Comments
And, make any corrections as is necessary:
ﾘ Cabinet Type
ﾘ Machine Class
ﾘ Multi-Game
ﾘ Cabinet Manufacturer

13. 3Q08 Update - Data Entry NEW GAMES -- NOT listed in database
Please Note: As always, new games will not appear in the HINTS. You will need to either contact me, Gloria, via to add these games, or you will need to enter the record with the BASE GAME listed as “Unknown”, with all other information filled in & with the actual game name listed in the COMMENTS field.
OLD GAMES -- with version NOT listed in database
If you find old games which do not appear in the HINT, I.e. a specific version of an old game does not appear in the HINT. You will need to either contact me, Gloria, via to add these games, or you will need to enter the correct information & make a note in the COMMENTS field as to the correction needed for this version.
