SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AN ALTERABLE STORAGE MEDIA IN A GAMING MACHINE

摘要

A system for verifying one or more downloaded components (54) of a gaming device (10) that includes the gaming device, which has an alterable hard drive (80) (or other persistent storage media (90)), and the downloaded components that further include gaming-related content (92-96). A related method includes: enabling initiation of a game on the gaming device (10); downloading the gaming-related content (92-96) to the alterable hard drive (80) while the gaming device (10) is enabled for game play; reading an identifier associated with the gaming-related content (92-96); verifying that the identifier is valid (using verification software (70)); and reconfiguring the gaming device (10) to utilize the newly-downloaded, gaming-related content (92-96) in response to an initiating event.
