Automatically generated display code for wagering game machine configuration

摘要

Systems, methods and machine-readable media operate on configuration data for wagering game machines. A wagering game machine configuration or meter data on a wagering game machine is modified. In response to the modification, the configuration data or meter data is transformed into a displayable code such as a bar code or QR (Quick Response) code. The wagering game machine presents the displayable code on a code display of the wagering game machine. A portable computing device reads the displayable code and uses the displayable code to compare the configuration data with configuration data obtained from other wagering game machines or configuration data obtained from a configuration server.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
storing configuration data in one or more memory devices of a first wagering game machine, the configuration data representing a configuration of the first wagering game machine, wherein the first wagering game machine comprises an input device configured to:
detect a physical item associated with monetary value that establishes a credit balance, andreceive a cashout input that initiates a payout from the credit balance, wherein the credit balance changes based on play of the first wagering game machine; generating, by at least one of one or more processors, a displayable code from the configuration data; presenting the displayable code on a variable electronic display of the first wagering game machine; wherein the displayable code can be captured by a portable computing device configured to:
decode the displayable code to produce decoded data;compare the decoded data to data representing configuration data obtained from a second wagering game machine; anddisplay the result of comparing the decoded data on the portable computing device, wherein the results includes an indication of a configuration element in the configuration data that is different from the decoded data.
