Abstract
A system for an electronic gambling device output has been developed. The system includes, a first computing device with slot machine game logic circuitry that generates an output signal that is content tested and approved by a gaming regulatory authority for output by the slot machine. It also includes a second computing device that is external to the slot machine. This device controls the tested output content and output content that has not been tested by the gaming regulatory authority. The untested output content replaces or supplements the tested output content.
Claims2
A slot machine, comprising:
- game logic circuitry that has been approved for use in a specific jurisdiction by a regulatory authority;
- a secure interface in information transmission connection with the game logic circuitry;
- where the secure interface is operative to monitor game logic circuitry signals and communicate those signals to a separate bonusing system;
- where the separate bonusing system is in information transmission connection with the slot machine via a secure interface;
- where the secure interface is incapable of allowing external communications from the separate bonusing system to alter the game logic circuitry signals;
- an external output device in information transmission connection with the separate bonusing system;
- and
- where the separate bonusing system is operative to analyze the game logic circuitry signals and command the external output device to generate an output in response to said analysis.
