  • Publication number: 20170026494
    Abstract: Techniques for providing on-demand validation services for wager-based virtual machines deployed in a cloud based virtual environment. In some implementations, data sources store master deployment sets containing virtual machines. The master deployment sets may be deployed to component servers to provide a gaming related software services to remote client machines. The on-demand service takes snapshots of the virtual machines in the deployment and the virtual machines in the master deployment set. The snapshots are compared to ensure that important files in the master deployment set have not been improperly modified in the deployment. In some implementations, a secure hashing algorithm creates signatures for the snapshots prior to the comparison and the signatures are compared. The validation result may be sent to a remote client that requested the validation.

  • Patent number: 9053603
    Abstract: Techniques for providing deployment and management services for wager-based virtual machines deployed in a cloud-based on-demand service environment. In some implementations, a master deployment set is stored in one or more data sources under a repository of master deployment sets. The master deployment set includes one or more virtual machines configured to be deployed to one or more component servers to provide a component service to a client terminal in one or more jurisdictions. The repository of master deployment sets is configured to include one or more master deployment sets having regulatory approval in the one or more jurisdictions. The master deployment set may be deployed to the one or more component servers. The repository of master deployment sets, the master deployment set, and the deployment may be managed by an authorized user.
