The casino gaming industry has introduced G2S (game to system) standards for the future management protocol for slot machines. G2S does not simply replace the 20 year old SAS protocol with Internet technology but also provides various application and business opportunities to the casino industry. In this paper, we present our design experience of C/C++ G2S engine for slot machines, based on publically available open-sources, gSOAP and SQLite libraries. We discuss design issues by comparing ours with openG2S, another open-source implementation mainly for G2S hosts. Our engine shows excellence in many aspects, including smaller footprint, no-JVM interpreter license requirement, and better command response time.
