Case Study: Leading Electronic Casino Gaming Machine Service Provider achieves effortless computing performance upgrade and regulatory-ready security with Advantech's DPX-S445

Effortless Computing Performance Upgrade with COTS Gaming Ready Platform

Leading Electronic Casino Gaming Machine Service Provider faced complex regional certification and security requirements when upgrading slot machine platforms—needs such as SAS networking, BIOS-level media validation (SecureBoot) and re-certification for each jurisdiction threatened long, costly migrations. Advantech addressed this challenge by offering the DPX-S445 commercial off-the-shelf gaming platform, a gaming-ready solution with the onboard interfaces and security features required by regulated casino markets.

Advantech implemented the DPX-S445 (Intel 6th/7th gen Core i) which is mechanically compatible with the customer’s legacy DPX-S436, enabling a simple migration and fast addition of SAS and SecureBoot to meet market requirements. The field-proven, regulator-approved DPX-S445 provided long product lifecycle support (up to 10 years), OS flexibility and hardware security features—resulting in expedited market readiness, reduced migration effort, and a future-ready platform for the customer.
