SYSTEM TO DECODE VIDEO SIGNAL FROM ELECTRONIC GAMING DEVICE AND TO DETERMINE PLAY INFORMATION

摘要

A video output signal analyzes that analyzes a video output signal to determine game play information. In video poker, card values and player strategies can be determined based on a “reverse encoding” of the video signal to determine the original video bitmap. The bitmap can then be analyzed to determine what is taking place during a game, without having to receive this information directly from the processing unit that is actually implementing the game.
