Abstract: A method for testing an electronic gaming machine includes generating a test sequence comprising tests to be conducted on the electronic gaming machine, generating a test script from the test sequence, accessing a protocol dictionary to determine values for the inputs, emulating parts of the electronic gaming machine by applying the specific values for the inputs to the electronic gaming machine, receiving outputs from the electronic gaming machine, accessing the protocol dictionary to determine conditions associated with the outputs, and interpreting the determined conditions to determine whether the criteria for appropriate operation of the electronic gaming machine has been met. The tests include a criteria indicating inappropriate or appropriate operation of the electronic gaming machine. The test script includes inputs to be applied to the electronic gaming machine. The inputs are associated with wagering game play. The values emulate parts of the electronic gaming machine.

Abstract: A device for providing electronic funds transfer-in and transfer-out transactions in a casino gaming system includes a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, a wagering transaction application stored in the memory and executed on the processor, and an electronic receiver communicatively coupled to the wagering transaction application. The wagering transaction application is configured to, through the electronic receiver, access a identifier from an electronic device, determine whether the identifier accurately represents the account, conduct a wagering transaction on the available funds for wagering, and update the available funds for wagering in the account. The electronic device is configured to represent an account of available funds for wagering. The identifier is based on at least the account and the electronic device.

Abstract: An article of manufacture includes a computer readable medium and computer-executable instructions carried on the computer readable medium. The instructions are readable by a processor. The instructions, when read and executed, cause the processor to present a game of skill including at least one goal associated with a portion of the game, accept a wager for a randomized prize, conduct a randomized selection process to determine the randomized prize, provide interactive control of the game of skill to a user in response to the wager, and determine whether the goals has been successfully accomplished by the user.
