Abstract: A data presentation system that allows a user to view information from a game network in real-time is disclosed. Information is collected from a game network and stored in a data repository. Data is gathered from the data repository, filtered, formatted, and displayed on a viewer of a user machine connected to the data presentation system. A user can select from a number of data views and customize the views, thus ensuring that the desired information is available to the user. Information is updated at a pre-selected rate, or as the network allows. Information may be retained for a period of time, for example, for a shift period. Pre-filtering of data can provide notice to a user when predetermined network events occur.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a secure wireless data access system and ways to use such a system. Data from a game network is accessible over wireless devices that use a variety of security protocols to protect sensitive information of the game network. In addition to long encryption keys and hardware layer addressing, particular wireless devices are only allowed to be connected to the network at certain pre-defined times. Reports of unauthorized access can be generated immediately when any suspicious behavior is detected. One such way to use the described wireless data access system is for redeeming tickets, and for monitoring events of a gaming network as they occur.
