• while the first service window is being displayed and responsive to a second determination occurring, based on a usage of the processor of the gaming machine at a second, subsequent point in time, to allocate control of a second portion of the display device of the gaming machine to the remote logic device, cause a display, in a second moveable service window of the display device, of different remote logic content.

A method of operating a device, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a gaming machine, data associated with gaming content generated by a processor of the gaming machine, wherein the device is distinct from the gaming machine,
• receiving, from a remote logic device, data associated with supplemental content generated by the remote logic device, wherein the device is distinct from the remote logic device,
• integrating, by a processor, the data associated with gaming content generated by the processor of the gaming machine and the data associated with supplemental content generated by the remote logic device to produce integrated content, and
• communicating integrated content data which results in a single display device of the gaming machine displaying the produced integrated content, wherein the display includes the gaming content and the supplemental content being simultaneously displayed by the single display device of the gaming machine.
