  • AIR FLOW INDICATOR FOR A GAMING MACHINE
    Publication number: 20130244795
    Abstract: Components of a gaming machine are cooled by generating an air flow through the gaming machine. The air flow cools the gaming machine components and is filtered by a filter. A speed of the air flow through the gaming machine is measured using an anemometer and a signal indicative of the speed of the air flow is generated. The signal may indicate, for example, that the filter or a fan that generates the air flow are in need of maintenance, or that an obstruction exists in the air flow path through the gaming machine.
