  • Publication number: 20200074804
    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.

  • Publication number: 20190035230
    Abstract: A delivery method for providing supplemental slot machine output content through a slot machine has been developed. The method includes offering slot machine output content that has been tested by a gaming commission and offering supplemental slot machine output content that has not been tested by the gaming commission. A separation is maintained between the tested content and the untested content with a software construct that prevents the untested content from changing the tested content.

  • Publication number: 20180247487
    Abstract: An improved printing and dispensing system for an electronic gaming device has been developed. The apparatus includes a gambling game that generates an outcome event signal and a peripheral device that receives the event signal and generates an output that indicates the outcome of the gambling game. The apparatus includes an interface that isolates the gambling game from the peripheral device so that external communication with the peripheral device cannot influence the gambling game's outcome generation.
