Gaming device with a secure interface

摘要

A system for an electronic gambling device output has been developed. The system includes, a first computing device with slot machine game logic circuitry that generates an output signal that is content tested and approved by a gaming regulatory authority for output by the slot machine. It also includes a second computing device that is external to the slot machine. This device controls the tested output content and output content that has not been tested by the gaming regulatory authority. The untested output content replaces or supplements the tested output content.

主权项

1. A system for externally generating a slot machine output via a network connection with an externally located computing device, comprising:
a slot machine comprising a first computing device comprising slot machine game logic circuitry operative to command generation of an output signal comprising output content tested and approved by a gaming regulatory authority for output by an output device of the slot machine; a second computing device, external to the slot machine, that is operative to control the output of the tested output content by the output device and is further operative to command an output of output content that has not been tested by the gaming regulatory authority where the untested output content replaces or supplements the tested output content as determined by the second computing device; and where the second computing device is in information transmission connection with at least one of the slot machine and the output device through a secure interface where the secure interface does not allow a second computing device signal to alter the game logic circuitry of the slot machine.
