摘要： Open architecture communication systems and methods are provided that allow flexible data transmission between gaming machines and other devices and nodes within a gaming machine network. The gaming machine and other devices employ a communication interface that sends and receives data via a common communication protocol and via common communication hardware. The communication interface and common communication protocol allow data transfer between gaming machines and other network nodes such as gaming service servers, despite the presence of different proprietary gaming machine functions and proprietary communication protocols and despite the presence of various proprietary hardware and proprietary communication protocols relied on by the servers.

摘要： A technique is disclosed for detecting at least one anomaly associated gaming data, wherein the gaming data is associated with a first casino gaming machine. A first portion of gaming data is selected for analysis. According to a specific embodiment, the first portion of gaming data corresponds to a first data pattern. A first comparison pattern relating to the first data pattern is also selected. A comparison is then performed in which the first comparison pattern is compared with a first portion of the first data pattern. Based upon the results of the comparison, a determination may be made as to whether at least one anomaly is detected in association with the first data pattern.

摘要： Games may be divided into different portions having differing preservation needs. These different portions may be saved to set locations for set periods of time when a downloaded game that was available on a given gaming terminal must be disabled, removed or otherwise made unavailable on the gaming terminal. The removal process may be automated or controlled remotely, although this is not strictly required. Further, preservation of games may be implemented using directories of the various game components for multiple downloaded games available to a gaming terminal.

摘要： Gaming machines and systems having MRAM and MROM are disclosed. MROMs for storing boot programs and other Read Only code are formed by cutting write connections or not providing PCB socket leads to MRAM write pins, or by using memory hubs to prevent writing to MRAMs. A tale-tale board or other logging device monitoring activities at various components while primary machine power is down records to MRAM, which can be dual ported to the logging device and MGC. Various components can each have dedicated logging devices and MRAMs. One MRAM associated with the brain box replaces both DRAM and NVRAM of regular machine architectures, and is used for dual purposes of regular operational use and as safe storage to facilitate a state recovery. Prioritization of data during the storage process is rendered unnecessary. Another MRAM associated with the back plane board stores data associated with the exterior housing or terminal.
摘要翻译：公开了具有MRAM和MROM的游戏机和系统。用于存储引导程序和其他只读代码的MROM通过切割写入连接或不向MRAM写入引脚提供PCB插座引线，或通过使用存储器集线器来阻止写入MRAM来形成。在主机停机时，各种组件的故事板或其他记录设备监控活动记录到MRAM，可以双向移植到记录设备和MGC。各种组件可以各自具有专用的测井设备和MRAM。与脑盒相关的一个MRAM取代了常规机器结构的DRAM和NVRAM，并且用于常规操作使用的双重目的，并且用于安全存储以促进状态恢复。在存储过程中数据的优先级不再需要。与背板相关联的另一个MRAM存储与外部壳体或终端相关联的数据。

摘要： Gaming machines and systems having a universal interface layer linking a gaming platform to a hardware platform are disclosed. In particular, the universal interface layer is configured such that the gaming platform is hardware platform independent and such that the hardware platform is gaming platform independent. Platform independence can facilitate the interchangeability of one platform without a corresponding need to modify the other platform. The gaming platform can include various gaming modules and an operating system, while the universal interface layer can include firmware, various additional gaming modules, hardware specific drivers and various APIs to facilitate communication between the gaming platform and other universal interface layer components. A safe storage manager can be included to utilize a non-volatile storage component to store data regarding a gaming machine state, with the state being recoverable after a substantial interruption to the machine.

摘要： A disclosed gaming machine provides methods and apparatus of verifying the authenticity of gaming software stored in and executed from RAM on the gaming machine. When presenting a game on the gaming machine, a master gaming controller may dynamically load gaming software applications into RAM and dynamically unload gaming software applications from RAM. The authenticity of the gaming software applications temporarily stored in RAM may be verified by using methods to compare it with certified gaming software stored on one or more local or remote file storage devices accessible to the master gaming controller on the gaming machine. The verification process may be used to satisfy gaming regulatory entities within various gaming jurisdictions that require certified gaming software to be operating on the gaming machine at all times as well as to prevent tampering with the gaming machine.
