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.

Abstract: A system for tracking a player of gambling game devices has been developed. The system includes a gambling game that accepts a wager from a player and generates an outcome and a player tracking system. The player tracking system tracks player activity and awards and undisplayed outcome to the player.

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.

Abstract: A lottery system/electronic gaming device interface and gambling game includes at least one detection device operative to detect selected event occurrences of an electronic gaming device and output event occurrence signals upon detection of an event or series of events occurring on an electronic gaming device and an interface device in information transmission connection with the detection device, the interface device operative to detect and receive event occurrence signals from the detection device, analyze and translate the event occurrence signals and output lottery entry dispensing commands. Finally, a lottery entry device is in information transmission connection with the interface device and in information transmission connection with a central lottery system, the lottery entry device operative to receive the lottery entry dispensing commands output by the interface device and output at least one entry ticket into a lottery event via and in connection with the central lottery system.

Abstract: An apparatus 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.

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.

Abstract: A system for an electronic gambling device output has been developed. The system includes, a first computing device with gambling device game logic circuitry that generates an output signal that includes output content tested and approved by a gaming regulatory authority for use by an output device of the electronic gambling device. The system also includes a second computing device that controls the output of the tested output content by the output device commands the output of output content that has not been tested by the gaining regulatory authority. The untested output content replaces or supplements the tested output content as determined by the second computing device.

Abstract: An apparatus 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.

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.

Abstract: A printing and dispensing system for an electronic gaming device has been developed. The system includes a gaming device with a processor that generates an outcome for the gambling device and a bonus system that generates payout that is supplemental to the payout of the gaming device. The supplemental payout is generated is response to gaming events in the gaming device.

Abstract: A lottery system/slot machine interface has been developed. The interface includes an electronic detector to detect selected slot machine event occurrences and generate event occurrence notification signals upon detection of the selected events. The invention also includes an interface that detects the event occurrence notification signals, analyzes the signals and outputs a lottery entry command. Finally, a printer receives the lottery ticket printing commands and prints a lottery entry ticket.

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.

Abstract: A method of electronic gaming has been developed that includes, receiving a wager from a player and generating an electronic command that at least a portion of an outcome for the wager is not to be displayed to the player until the outcome information is delivered to the player. Next, an outcome is generated and at least a portion of the outcome is not displayed according to the electronic command. Finally, the undisplayed outcome is delivers to the player.

The system also includes a second computing device that controls the output of the tested output content by the output device commands the output of output content that has not been tested by the gaining regulatory authority. The untested output content replaces or supplements the tested output content as determined by the second computing device.

Abstract: A method for generating supplemental slot machine output content has been developed. The method includes providing primary slot machine output content that has been tested by a gaming commission prior to offering the slot machine for public use. Additionally, the method includes providing slot machine output content that has not been tested by the gaming commission when providing the supplemental output content is approved by the gaming commission. This negates the requirement for the gaming commission to test the supplemental slot machine output content.

Abstract: An improved method for providing data based awards for an electronic gaming device has been developed. The method includes receiving a wager from a player, generating an outcome for the wager with the electronic gaming device, and displaying an outcome associated with the wager. Finally, the method includes a step for paying the player with an award comprised entirely of data.

Abstract: An improved gaming device with a secure interface has been developed. The invention includes an electronic gaming device with internal components, software and data, an external communication interface in communication with the electronic gaming device and an output device of the electronic gaming device in communication with the external communication interface. The output device communicates with external communication interface through a secure interface that does not allow external communications to directly access the internal components, software and data of the electronic gaming device.

Abstract: A electronic gaming device that distributes data based awards has been developed. The gaming device includes an outcome processor that determines certain machine events and an award delivery device that delivers data based awards in response to the machine events.
