Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring a gaming machine are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the systems and methods reduce operator activity at a gaming machine in order to configure a default set of game packages. By selecting a pre-defined set of games in conjunction with a set of game denominations, the operator will be able to configure a complete game suite at one time on a gaming machine, thereby eliminating the need for the operator to configure each game profile individually.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for enabling play of legacy games on a previously-incompatible enhanced gaming platform that provides enhanced functionality using a game conversion system.

Abstract: A game conversion system is disclosed for enabling play of legacy games on a previously-incompatible enhanced gaming platform. The system game conversion system includes a game cabinet for a gaming machine, an enhanced gaming platform operatively associated with the gaming machine, one or more legacy games, and a configuration file generator system. The enhanced gaming platform includes an enhance gaming operating system and an enhanced gaming processor board. The one or more legacy games are configured to operate on a legacy gaming platform, and the one or more legacy games are not natively configured to operate on an enhanced gaming platform. The configuration file generator system converts legacy data from legacy game EPROMS into files usable by the enhanced gaming platform-based gaming machine. The game conversion system increases the number of game titles that are available to be played on the newer game platforms by enabling operability of legacy games.
