The gaming machine ( 1 ) includes a processor ( 4 ) with associated memory ( 5 ) implementing one of the games, a communications bus ( 6 ), a game display ( 7 ) for displaying information related to the progress of the game, a game identification display ( 8 ) for displaying an image-forming part of the game's resource data set-to allow a potential user to identify the game presently being provided as well as game specific information such as payouts, rules and so on, and a user interface device ( 9 ) as user-operable buttons. An output device ( 10 ) outputs to the central controller ( 2 ) machine performance messages ( 11 ) containing machine performance information as time since last play, total drop, total drop over a period of time, total return to player, return to player over a period of time, technical aspects of the gaming machine, and the like. The central controller ( 2 ) includes an input device ( 12 ) for receiving machine performance messages ( 11 ) from the gaming machines ( 1 ). Via a communications ( 13 ), a controller processor ( 14 ) extracts and processes the performance information included in the machine performance messages ( 11 ). In a preferred embodiment, the controller ( 2 ) has local memory ( 15 ) in which it stores extracted information on an ongoing basis so that historical analysis may be performed. In dependence upon the information extracted from the machine performance sages, including stored performance information, the processor ( 14 ) selects a red game from the plurality of games and at least one target gaming machine ( 1 ) implement the game. An output device ( 16 ) is responsive to the processor for outputting a control message ( 17 ) to the selected gaming machine ( 1 ) or machines for causing them to implement the desired game. The gaming machines ( 1 ) further include respective input devices ( 18 ) for receiving control messages ( 17 ) from the central controller ( 2 ). In response to a received control message ( 17 ), a game-change device ( 19 ) causes the gaming machine to implement the desired game.
