Assignee:

Casino Data Systems - Las Vegas NV

International Classification:

A63F 1300

US Classification:

463 29, 463 25, 463 16, 463 42

Abstract:

A gaming device security system is disclosed which includes two processing areas linked together and communicating critical gaming functions via a security protocol wherein each transmitted gaming function includes a specific encrypted signature to be decoded and validated before being processed by either processing area. The two processing areas include a first processing area having a dynamic RAM and an open architecture design which is expandable without interfering or accessing critical gaming functions and a second âsecureâ processing area having a non-alterable memory for the storage of critical gaming functions therein.

International Classification:

G06F 1100

US Classification:

714 44, 714 40

Abstract:

A multiprocessing computer system provides the hardware support to properly test an I/O board while the system is running user application programs and while preventing a faulty board from causing a system crash. The system includes a centerplane that mounts multiple expander boards. Each expander board in turn connects a microprocessor board and an I/O board to the centerplane. Prior to testing, the replacement I/O board becomes a part of a dynamic system domain software partition after it has been inserted into an expander board of the multiprocessing computer system. Testing an I/O board involves executing a process using a microprocessor and memory on a microprocessor board to perform hardware tests on the I/O board. An error cage, address transaction cage, and interrupt transaction cage isolate any errors generated while the I/O board is being tested. The error cage isolates correction code errors, parity errors, protocol errors, timeout errors, and other similar errors generated by the I/O board under test.

International Classification:

A63F 924

US Classification:

463 25, 463 19, 463 20

Abstract:

A method and device for gaming, in which a primary game is played toward a winning outcome, and in which a secondary game is played concurrently with the primary game, using outcomes on the primary game to determine the outcome of the secondary game. The secondary game is entirely different from the primary game, and play continues on the secondary game through successive primary games. The player may increase the chances of winning the secondary game by either increasing the wager, which increases the total number of outcomes that apply to the secondary game, or by choosing a variation of the secondary game that has more winning outcomes possible.
