Claims12
An assignment validator for processing an assignment that modifies a gaming machine comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one computer readable storage medium;
- and
- an assignment validation module that is stored in the at least one computer readable storage medium and that is configured, when executed by the at least one processor, to:
- receive a first assignment to modify a gaming machine;
- determine a likelihood of success for a successful execution of the first assignment at the time of execution of the first assignment based at least on current state information by the assignment validation module being configured, when executed by the at least one processor, to at least:
- determine whether a second assignment to modify the gaming machine is scheduled;
- and
- determine whether the second assignment, if any, conflicts with the first assignment;
- and
- provide a notification of the likelihood of success at a time that is prior to an execution time of the first assignment.
