I think this is a different thing than having a Class 3 machine configured as a remote terminal.Īs far as I know, anytime you see the word 'Terminal' in the description or name of a slot machine it means it has to be connected to a controlling centralized computer system. On a Class II machine you are competing against the other slot machine players in the casino or casino network, ala the 'Bingo' game card setup. If this Bally machine is sold in a different jurisdiction (Las Vegas?) it might be a stand-alone version, but the ones in Illinois are configured as 'Terminals'. When disconnected from this central computer system they become disabled and will not work. They can be Class 3 but still required by the gaming board to be connected to a central computer.
I believe what Rick said is correct (or mostly correct).
