Abstract
A method for outputting an alternative output through an electronic gaming device output device has been developed. The invention includes an electronic gaming device with game logic circuitry that commands a gaming device output device to generate an output. The electronic gaming device output is interrupted before it is output and the output device generates an alternative output.
Claims23
A slot machine, comprising:
- a first electronic circuit board operative to employ gaming logic that generates a slot machine outcome dictated by outcome probabilities;
- where the first electronic circuit board is further operative to command a slot machine output device to generate a first electronic circuit board output in response to a slot machine event;
- where the event includes at least one of a slot machine input and the slot machine outcome;
- and
- a second electronic circuit board that interrupts the first electronic circuit board output prior to being output by the slot machine output device and commands the slot machine output device to output an alternative output.

A slot machine, comprising:
- first processor operative to employ game outcome programming to determine a slot machine payout;
- where the game outcome programming has been tested and approved for use by a gaming regulatory authority;
- where the first processor is further operative to trigger a slot machine output device to generate an output in response to a slot machine event;
- where the slot machine event includes at least one of a slot machine input and the slot machine payout;
- and
- second processor operative to command the slot machine output device to output an alternative output in place of the output triggered by the first processor prior to the first processor output being output by the slot machine output device.
3 more elements
A method for outputting an alternative output through a slot machine output device, comprising:
- generating a slot machine outcome responsive to gaming logic that has been tested and approved for use by a gambling regulatory authority;
- commanding a slot machine output device to generate a first output in response to at least one of a slot machine input and the slot machine outcome;
- and
- generating an alternative output through the output device that has not been tested by the gambling regulatory authority before the first output is generated by the output device where the alternative output comprises at least one of (a) replacing the first output with a second output generated by at least one of a second device and a third device and (b) supplementing the first output with a second output generated by at least one of the second device and the third device.
