Abstract
Methods and systems for auditing data transfers in electronic game device systems are described. In embodiments, the method includes determining gaming request audit data for at least one electronic game device that includes information identifying at least one responsive electronic game server. The audit data may also include at least one of an indication of the time and date of a gaming request and a transaction identifier. The method also includes storing the gaming request audit data in at least one searchable memory.
Claims45
A method for auditing the performance of a plurality of electronic game devices of a system, comprising:
- determining gaming request audit data for at least one of a plurality of electronic game devices, the gaming request audit data including an electronic game device identifier, at least one electronic game server identifier corresponding to at least one responsive electronic game server, and at least one of an indication of the time of a gaming request and a transaction identifier;
- and
- storing the gaming request audit data In at least one searchable memory,
A system for auditing the performance of electronic game devices of a network, comprising:
- a plurality of electronic game devices, at least one of the electronic game devices configured to make at least one gaming request to another device;
- at least one logical application server configured to receive and to respond to gaming requests;
- and
- at least one memory configured to obtain and to store gaming request audit data of the plurality of electronic game devices, wherein the gaming request audit data for each gaming request includes data identifying the electronic game device, data identifying all other communicating devices, and at least one of the time and date of the game request and a transaction identifier.
A method, comprising:
- transmitting gaming request audit data from at least one of a plurality of devices in a gaming system;
- receiving the gaming request audit data at a central audit database, the gaming request audit data comprising an electronic game device identifier of the device that made the game request, at least one electronic game server identifier of at least one responsive electronic game server, and at least one of a time and date of the game request and a transaction identifier;
- and
- storing the gaming request audit data.
A computer-readable medium configured to store instructions for directing a processor to audit the performance of each of a plurality of electronic game devices connected in a system, the instructions causing the processor to:
- obtain gaming request audit data that includes an electronic game device identifier, at least one electronic game server identifier corresponding to at least one responsive electronic game server, and at least one of an indication of the time and date of the request and a transaction identifier;
- and
- store the gaming request audit data in at least one searchable memory.
