The Back-Office module is the centerpiece of the suite and is required as the foundation of the Title 31 Accelerator implementation. This module is used by the Compliance, Finance, and Audit staff to manage gaming day transactions originating anywhere in the casino, prepare audit reports, and produce FinCEN documents.

The Connector module is the “communications gateway” between Title 31 Accelerator and existing legacy systems and 3rd party transaction processing services. Title 31 reportable transaction and patron information is able to securely flow to Title 31 Accelerator from the casino management systems on a real-time and / or batch basis.

The eSubmission module provides the secure electronic gateway to FinCEN facilitating the electronic filing and acknowledgement of various FinCEN forms. Operating as an extension to the functionality of Back Office, this technologically advanced module seamlessly manages the communications and the statusing of FinCEN form submissions and error responses.

The SAR Risk Analyzer  provides gaming properties with the ability to proactively identify suspicious activity patterns that would have been missed through traditional manual methods thereby averting costly IRS audit fines.  This tool is a proactive component of a “findings free” Title 31 audit environment.

Patron Master Integration

Title 31 Accelerator allows for the real-time integration with existing player tracking system patron master database tables. Using web service technology, this allows for a secure, controlled use of patron data by a non-gaming system without having a direct connection to the gaming system player tracking database.

The results in the following benefits:

• Eliminates the need to maintain two patron data sets

• No Gaming Board regulatory impact by Title 31 Accelerator since core operations systems remain secure

• No need to synchronize two patron master databases

• Bi-directional integration option allows for data gathered via Title 31 transactions to flow back to the player tracking system
