Testing Software for Betting Terminals

System Test Tool is developed in-house with the idea of standardising and speeding up our internal SSBT testing procedures. It makes sure every system component is connected correctly and in a working state by sequentially testing unit per unit.

Previous NSoft stories have touched on SSBTs from multiple perspectives. From the very beginnings of manufacturing betting terminals at Stark Solutions (a part of NSoft’s cluster), its steep rise in the global betting market with exceptional quality and customer satisfaction, and all the way to the NSoft’s core SSBT software aimed for betting and igaming operators for managing entire terminal fleets with ease. However, there is one particular aspect we haven’t covered yet: how do we make sure assembled SSBTs are ready for shipping and installation in the first place?! Well, that process isn’t always the easiest one. It is enough to imagine batch orders of 80 terminals, each with a dozen of hardware components, peripheral devices, and cables. The number of individual units required for testing is ten times that. The most considerable merit goes to dedicated technicians that patiently assemble and test the working functionality of each unit. However, as a natural step forward, we indeed recognised the importance of improving the process with technology and acted upon it. As a result, our technicians now have a helping hand from a software tool we simply named  System Test Tool.

Automatisation of QA process

System Test Tool is developed in-house with the idea of standardising and speeding up our internal SSBT testing procedures. It makes sure every system component is connected correctly and in a working state by sequentially testing unit per unit. The Tool is not a replacement for human touch, but rather an additional layer of reliability that helps us standardise tests across terminals and their units. Simply put, the process is still owned and managed by technicians but guided and controlled by the software.

Core functionalities of System Test Tool

The Tool is based on NSoft’s customised Linux operating system. It contains three core functionalities:

  1. Scanning the entire system and returning most vital information about system configuration, hardware and peripherals
  2. Providing structured tests for each logical domain, including displays and touchscreens, printers, barcode, money devices, door switches and card readers
  3. Generating and submitting done tests in the form of the final report that can be printed and signed as proof of testing.

The great thing about the tool is that it comes in the form of live media. That means we can run the software without affecting the disk content of the host device. Those circumstances make System Test Tool perfect for testing uninstalled and installed devices with no operative struggles beforehand or afterwards. Additionally, there are no limitations on who can perform testing or when. This means that it is even possible to release the tool for our clients in the near future as well. Each submitted test is stored in our database for future reference. At the same time, the uniqueness of each physical machine allows us to track the history of all done tests on a particular betting terminal.

Time saved is money earned.

In the year 2022, we are making this tool a part of the standard testing toolbox at Stark Solutions. Along with other NSoft initiatives, particularly in the domain of system diagnostics, it substantially reduces overall time requirements and testing complexity while improving reliability, standardisation, and transparency.

Sinergy of NSoft software solutions for SSBT and Stark’s neat and powerful machines for land-based betting and gaming business ones again has proven to be the winning combination for the clients.

OnlyPlay has released Pub Fruits, a bright and lively 5×3 video slot with a classic fruit theme and a fun pub atmosphere. The reels are filled with juicy fruits, lucky sevens, shiny coins and warm golden colours. The retro design feels familiar, but the animations make it fresh and modern. Every spin looks colourful and smooth, and the game is easy to understand from the first second. It feels like stepping into a friendly pub where the lights are warm and the mood is always upbeat.

The real excitement starts with the Hold and Win feature. Players can chase four jackpot levels – Mini (x25), Minor (x50), Major (x100) and Grand (x500). Each coin you collect increases your chances and builds tension on the screen. The feeling of risk grows with every spin, and the moment before the result lands is full of anticipation. It is simple to play, but the adrenaline and excitement make it hard to stop.

Free Spins bring even more action to the game. Land 3, 4 or 5 Scatters to unlock up to 15 Free Spins, and retrigger them to keep the fun going. Wild symbols help create more winning combinations, while Jackpot symbols can appear in both the base game and Free Spins.

With 96.93% RTP, a 21.38% HIT rate and medium volatility, the gameplay feels balanced – steady wins with the chance for something much bigger. It is a mix of comfort and thrill that keeps every session interesting. Pub Fruits combines classic style, modern features and real excitement.

The global “Fun Economy” — spanning leisure, hospitality, retail and entertainment — is valued at over $13 trillion, according to joint research from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and Zero Labs.

Tony Toohey, Director of TT Management welcomed the platform’s availability in Australia: “The Australian market is increasingly focused on connected, experience-led destinations,” said Toohey.

“Operators here understand the importance of breaking down data silos and collaborating across venues and partners. QCI’s Data Community platform arrives at the right time, enabling a more coordinated and commercially intelligent approach to managing entertainment and hospitality environments.”

Andrew Cardno, Co-Founder and CTO of QCI, said: “Australia represents a sophisticated and forward-looking market for experience-driven destinations,” said Cardno.

“By bringing Data Community to the region, we are equipping operators with the tools to unify their data, understand guest journeys more deeply and curate experiences — not just transactions.”

QCI’s technology is deployed in more than 1000 sites globally, including over 300 casino resorts across North America, Australia and Europe. The company’s platform supports leading brands across gaming, hospitality and mixed-use entertainment districts, helping operators align marketing, operations and guest engagement within a single intelligence framework.
