Predictika · Slot cabinet and game orders

An AI sales agent's slot cabinet and game order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a casino: a number of slot cabinets from the Baron, MarsX, Neptune, Marquee or Helix families, one game, a purchase or a participation lease, the gaming jurisdiction, a link progressive bank where the game needs one, a volume discount and the order total. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of how those choices fit together and returns a verdict, every reason and the total it computed.

Scope: One slot cabinet and game order: cabinet, game, purchase or lease, jurisdiction, link bank, discount and the stated total. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Aristocrat Gaming slot cabinet and game orders, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Cabinet and game fit — nine cabinets across the Baron, MarsX, Neptune, Marquee and Helix families and eight games, each game offered on some cabinets only.
  • Link progressives — Touchdown Link, Lightning Link and Dragon Link need a bank of 4 to 16 cabinets that the order fills, with a controller charge for each bank.
  • NFL-licensed titles — carry a license fee per cabinet and are not sold for Macau.
  • Purchase or lease — a participation lease has a term of 12 to 60 months, and a lease of more than 100 cabinets goes to a person for credit review.
  • Volume discount — tiers by quantity, with a higher discount going to a person and anything above 15 percent blocked.
  • Jurisdiction — Nevada, New Jersey, tribal Class III and Macau, with the Baron cabinet in New Jersey sent for approval.
  • Stated total — the total the order states against the total computed from the modeled price list.

Any slot cabinet and game order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other Aristocrat products and services. Amounts are in US dollars and are illustrative.

The AI sales agentBuilds the cabinet and game order from the conversation with the casino and says it is ready.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong
Click to expand
    
Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

    
What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
A game that runs on some cabinets onlyOnly with care
Each game is offered on a different set of cabinets, so a rule has to read the cabinet and the game together instead of listing each pairing one by one.		The cabinet and the game are checked together on every call.
A link bank that the order must fillOnly with care
A link progressive needs a bank of 4 to 16 cabinets and an order at least as large as the bank, which ties a field on the game to the quantity.		The game, the bank size and the quantity are checked in the same pass.
A title that depends on the jurisdictionOnly with care
NFL-licensed games are sold in some places and not in others, so the game and the jurisdiction depend on each other.		The game and the jurisdiction are checked together on every call.
A total built from tiers, fees and a leaseOnly with workarounds
The total depends on a volume discount, a license fee, controller charges or a lease term, and has to be recomputed before it can be compared with the stated one.		The total is computed in the same pass and the stated total is checked on every call.
Approvals that depend on the dealOnly with workarounds
A discount above its tier, a large lease and a cabinet in a certain jurisdiction each send the order to a person, alongside the blocks.		Blocks and approvals come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.		All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

  

  

    
What this validator catches: findings from its test cases
Click to expand
    
Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the order; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1The chosen game is not offered on the chosen cabinet.
2A link progressive game needs a bank of 4 to 16 cabinets that the order fills; the bank size is 3 and the order has 20 cabinets.
3An order of 501 cabinets is outside the 1 to 500 range of a single order.
4A discount of 6 percent is above the 5 percent allowed for this quantity.
5A discount of 16 percent is outside the 0 to 15 percent range.
6NFL-licensed games are not sold for Macau.
7A lease term of 11 months is outside the 12 to 60 month range.
8A lease of more than 100 cabinets needs a credit review.
9The Baron cabinet needs its regulatory approval confirmed for New Jersey before it is sold.
10The order states a total of 436,999 dollars; the price list gives 437,000 dollars.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares an order for a casino: a number of slot cabinets from the Baron, MarsX, Neptune, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of how those choices fit together and returns a verdict, every reason and the total it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote an order of 20 MarsX Flex cabinets with the Touchdown Trio game for a casino in Macau, as a purchase. The order has a discount of 5 percent. The rest of the request is on screen. The order total is 449,000 dollars.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. NFL-licensed games are not sold for Macau.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned one blocking finding in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the order are checked against each other.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for a game that runs on some cabinets only, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the jurisdiction to Nevada.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. The earlier finding is cleared.
    13. 
      
  13. One problem caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean $449,000 order. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
