METHODS AND DEVICES FOR DOWNLOADING GAMES OF CHANCE

摘要

The present invention provides systems for downloading gaming software. According to some implementations of the invention, gaming software is continuously transmitted on a plurality of channels, e.g., by one or more servers. In some such implementations, each channel is dedicated to software for a wagering game. Gaming software components are transmitted on a plurality of channels, with each channel dedicated to a particular gaming software component. Some implementations provide gaming software in response to a request from a gaming machine. Implementations over dedicated and/or public networks are provided. Some such implementations determine whether payment is required for gaming software and provide for automated payment, if so required. Software packets or frames are downloaded in an arbitrary order. Every software has assigned a predetermined downloaded channel in a look-up table.
