摘要： The system allows a casino operator to manage groups of electronic gaming machines (EGMs). Managing new or existing collections (i.e., groups) of gaming devices reduces the effort required to download or configure large numbers of EGMs. For example, new software may be downloaded to groups of EGMs from a central location, and the EGMs may be configured from the central location. Accordingly, this operational efficiency reduces maintenance costs and minimizes EGM downtime due to maintenance or EGM set-up.
摘要翻译：该系统允许赌场运营商管理电子游戏机组（EGM）。管理游戏设备的新的或现有的集合（即，组）减少了下载或配置大量EGM所需的工作量。例如，新的软件可以从中央位置下载到EGM组，并且可以从中央位置配置EGM。因此，此运营效率可降低维护成本，并将由于维护或EGM设置导致的EGM停机时间最小化。

摘要： A system for configuring an EGM from a remote terminal thereby providing improvements in operational efficiency when configuring EGMs. For example, operational efficiencies are possible by providing direct access to configure an EGM without the technician traveling to the physical machine, which may be miles away. For local EGM's, there will be efficiencies obtained by the number of EGM's configured per hour/per technician. For extremely remote EGM's, there are additional efficiencies by the reduction of travel and lodging expenses for the technician. Additionally, remote configuration of an EGM reduces security overhead.
摘要翻译：用于从远程终端配置EGM的系统，从而在配置EGM时提供操作效率的改进。例如，通过提供直接访问来配置EGM，而技术人员不会前往可能距离远的物理机器，可以实现运营效率。对于当地的EGM来说，通过每小时/每名技术人员配置的EGM数量将获得效率。对于非常偏远的EGM，通过减少技术人员的旅行和住宿费用，还有其他效率。另外，EGM的远程配置减少了安全开销。

摘要： A local game-area network includes a plurality of gaming devices and local game-area servers. Each local game-area server is associated with a corresponding gaming device. Each local game-area server in the local game-area network is operatively associated with every other local game-area server in the local game-area network. Additionally, one of the local game-area servers is a host local game-area server while the remaining gaming devices and associated local game-area servers are clients. Furthermore, the host status of the host local game-area server moves dynamically to an available local game-area server in the local game-area network in response to the host local game-area server becoming non-operational.

摘要： Disclosed is a system and method that uses digital signature technology to authenticate the contents of one or more manifests located on a storage device. Each manifest contains a list of file records, where each record contains the name of a file stored on the storage device, and a signature value derived from the contents of the file. At boot time, the gaming machine first authenticates the contents of the manifest and then authenticates the contents of the files using the signature value stored in the manifest. Files are verified using the signature, as they are needed, during the boot up of the operating system and throughout normal operation. This method reduces the boot time of the gaming machine and eliminates the need to check digital signatures for each individual file or over the entire contents of a non-secure media. Similarly, a method of adding authentication ability to legacy software components without necessarily altering the legacy software components is disclosed. Introduction of a stronger authentication algorithm, or when a private key has been compromised would normally require the software component to be re-built to support the new algorithm or private/public key pair; however, a method is disclosed where algorithms and key pairs may be changed and applied to legacy software without having to re-built, re-test, re-sign, or re-submit the component to regulatory agencies for approval. Also disclosed is a system and method of establishing a trusted environment containing a gaming operating system and associated authentication module, file system drivers, and/or network drivers that may be used to in the process of authenticating contents of one or more manifests located on a storage device.
摘要翻译：公开了一种使用数字签名技术认证位于存储设备上的一个或多个清单的内容的系统和方法。每个清单包含文件记录的列表，其中每个记录包含存储在存储设备上的文件的名称，以及从该文件的内容导出的签名值。在启动时，游戏机首先对清单的内容进行身份验证，然后使用存储在清单中的签名值来验证文件的内容。在操作系统的启动过程中以及整个正常操作过程中，都需要使用签名来验证文件。该方法减少了游戏机的启动时间，并且消除了检查每个单独文件的数字签名或非安全媒体的整个内容的需要。类似地，公开了一种向传统软件组件添加认证能力而不必改变传统软件组件的方法。引入更强大的认证算法，或者当私钥被破坏时，通常需要重新构建软件组件以支持新算法或专用/公开密钥对; 然而，公开了一种方法，其中可以将算法和密钥对改变并应用于遗留软件，而不必重新构建，重新测试，重新签名或将组件重新提交给管理机构以供批准。还公开了一种建立包含游戏操作系统和相关联的认证模块，文件系统驱动程序和/或网络驱动程序的可信环境的系统和方法，所述认证模块，文件系统驱动程序和/或网络驱动程序可用于在认证位于储存设备。

摘要： The invention comprises methods and apparatus for modifying or converting a gaming machine to permit fully cash-less or optional cash-less transactions in a manner which avoids changing the existing firmware or software of the gaming machine. In an optional cash-less arrangement, a player selects the form by which funds are added or paid to the machine and/or paid out by machine. The cash-less forms of payment may comprise the acceptance and/or payment of funds or value electronically to a system account, coded card or ticket, smart card, magnetic card and other non-cash elements. In one or more embodiments, the invention consists of hardware and/or software for intercepting and/or emulating any or all combinations of the electronic signals associated with the coin acceptor, cash out button, hopper, serial communication interface(s) and bill acceptor(s) associated with a gaming machine to create optional currency transfers. These currency transfers comprise the dispensing or adding of coins, tokens, bills, or any physical item of value and/or any method of transferring funds electronically.
