A generic, self-contained gaming device is transportable to various jurisdictions for use. The gaming device when associated with a terminal or gaming machine is configured and authenticated for use in the installed location to present one or more wagering games. The gaming device verifies associated components of the terminal or machine, and contacts a local authority, such as gaming regulator or licensed entity. The local authority provides authorization to operate. The gaming device is then activated to operate in a mode complying with local rules and regulations. In one embodiment, the gaming machine may generate location information and transmit that information to the authority. Authorization to operate may comprise an activation code causing the gaming device to operate in a particular mode, or executable code causing the gaming device to operate as required by governing rules and regulations where the gaming device is located.
