Terminal System Updates

Daily Maintenance Window Updates:

Every day, between 12:00am and 12:30, all Washington state lottery terminals receive conditional updates.  These daily updates are separate from the ESMM and Terminal updates that require broadcast downloads, however, still impact what’s being displayed.  As part of the Daily Maintenance Window, the following updates are sent to the terminals:

1. Updated Jackpots for Draw Games
2. Enabling of Instant Games for sale, based off Launch Date
3. Winner Awareness Information (who or how much was recently won in the state or region)

ESMM Broadcasts:

• These broadcasts are intended to update ESMM UI content, such as Attract Shows, Banners, and Animated Display Cards.
• During ESMM Broadcasts, Instant Game content (Game images, purchase screens, info screens) are also downloaded.
• ESMM Broadcasts are typically sent to terminals once monthly.

Software Batch Updates:

• Batch Updates are intended to change system functionality or core system operations.
• In any given year, it is typical for there to be two or three system updates requiring Batch Updates.
