发明名称 POST CERTIFICATION METERING FOR DIVERSE GAME MACHINES
摘要 Bonuses such as progressive bonuses are based on the activity of many players playing at many machines. The machines may be made by different manufacturers and run different games. Prior diverse arrays of such machines relied on a hardware slot machine interface board (SMIB) that acted as a master and transmitted game activity to remote servers. A disclosed embodiment virtualizes the SMIB. In one implementation, protected processes allow for real time meter creation and destruction within different games, even after the game software has been certified and the hash cannot change. Memory is allocated for protected processes. The protected processes are isolated from the software based game. It is not allowed to inject a thread into the protected process or access memory allocated to the protected process. It is not allowed to debug an active protected process.
