摘要： A multi-player gaming platform includes a large visual display and a plurality of player terminals coupled to the visual display. The visual display indicates a game of chance including a single play field and a plurality of movable game pieces. The game pieces are associated with the respective player terminals. In response to a wager placed at one of the player terminals, the game piece associated with that terminal moves along or near the play field and generates a game outcome. The game outcome may be defined by the game piece itself or where the game piece lands on the play field. The game awards a payoff if the game outcome meets winning criteria. The wager placed at the one of the player terminals is independent of any other wagers placed at the other player terminals and is independent of when the other wagers are placed. Similarly, the game piece associated with the one of the player terminals operates independent of the game pieces associated with the other player terminals. There is no actual player-to-player interaction—the players merely make use of the same play field. Therefore, the gaming platform allows players to join the game of chance at any time and to place wagers, make any necessary selections, and play the game at their own pace.
摘要翻译：多玩家游戏平台包括大型视觉显示器和耦合到视觉显示器的多个玩家终端。视觉显示表示包括单个游戏场和多个可移动游戏件的机会游戏。游戏部件与各个玩家终端相关联。响应于放置在其中一个玩家终端的下注，与该终端相关联的游戏件沿着或靠近游戏场移动并产生游戏结果。游戏结果可以由游戏片本身定义，或者游戏片段落在游戏场上。如果游戏结果符合获胜标准，游戏将奖励一个回报。放置在其中一个玩家终端的赌注独立于放置在其他玩家终端的任何其他赌注，并且独立于其他赌注被放置的时候。类似地，与玩家终端中的一个相关联的游戏单元独立于与其他玩家终端相关联的游戏棋子。没有实际的玩家对玩家的互动 - 玩家只是使用相同的游戏领域。因此，游戏平台允许玩家随时加入机会游戏，放置下注，进行必要的选择，并以自己的速度玩游戏。

摘要： Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to load a software program which, when executed by a processor, is associated with presenting a wagering game upon which monetary value may be wagered. The software program may be loaded into a non-volatile memory in the form of phase-change random access memory, nanotube random access memory, or a combination thereof, and executed by the processor to present the wagering game after conducting a first preliminary authentication. Upon entering a reset cycle, a subsequent preliminary authentication of the software program is conducted without reloading the non-volatile memory, and the program is executed from the non-volatile memory by the processor while a background full authentication of the software program stored in mass storage is conducted. Execution out of the non-volatile memory is halted if the background full authentication fails.

摘要： A gaming machine includes two persistent random access memory sections. Critical data written to one memory section is copied to the other. Systems and methods for managing the two memory sections may include a transaction engine executable on a gaming machine processor. Alternatively, the transaction engine may execute or on a memory controller implemented as an Application Specific Integrated Circuit, a separate processor, or programmable logic. A transaction state may be used to determine which of the copies in the two memory sections is valid.
