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:
- Scanning the entire system and returning most vital information about system configuration, hardware and peripherals
- Providing structured tests for each logical domain, including displays and touchscreens, printers, barcode, money devices, door switches and card readers
- 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.

THE MONEYMAKER TOUR RETURNS TO HARD ROCK CINCINNATI WITH MORE THAN $1 MILLION UP FOR GRABS
Following a hugely successful first event in Cincinnati, Ohio in September 2023, the Moneymaker Tour is returning to the Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati on September 17 – 30, 2024 with a packed schedule that will guarantee more than $1 million across 15 trophy events.
In September 2023’s inaugural stop at Hard Rock Cincinnati, the $1,500 Main Event was contested by 788 players and won by Joseph Bakun for $208,034. He was joined at the final table by Chris Moneymaker himself and WSOP Champion Joseph McKeehen and as well as the top cash prize, he also took home a crystal Moneymaker Tour trophy and a guitar trophy.
The Moneymaker Tour was created in 2023 by 2003 WSOP Champion and ACR Team Pro, Chris Moneymaker and Moneymaker Tour Executive Manager, Tony Burns. The Tour was conceived as a way for Moneymaker to give poker players opportunities to have their own ordinary to extraordinary moments as he did.
Despite its relative newcomer status, the Moneymaker Tour has made a name for itself, recently being voted the third most popular live poker tournament series behind only the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour, in a State of Poker survey. Since its inception, there have been eight events throughout Florida, Cincinnati and Houston.
The Tour has also recently announced new venues including a first visit to the birthplace of the Moneymaker boom with an event in Las Vegas from June 28 – July 6 at MGM Grand and its first international Main Event at Casino Aruba in October.
“Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati will team up with the Moneymaker Tour for a return in 2024” said Christopher Herbert, Hard Rock Cincinnati Manger of Poker & Sportsbook. “Hard Rock Cincinnati is grateful to be a part of the fastest growing poker tour in 2023. Chris Moneymaker, Tony Burns and their staff delivered an incredible experience for our guests during the 2023 Moneymaker Tour stop. There’s no better place to be in September 2024 than Cincinnati Ohio!”
“After an amazing series last September, we are excited to return to Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati”, said Tony Burns, Executive Manager of the Moneymaker Tour. “Continuing to partner with one of the most recognisable brands in the world amplifies our reach, resonates with our audience, and rocks our business to a whole other level.”
