    Abstract: A system for authenticating software is disclosed. In one embodiment, the invention is utilized in conjunction with a gaming machine to authenticate the software utilized by the gaming machine or loaded onto the gaming machine. To achieve authentication, one exemplary mode of operation is used to authenticate the contents of a removable media, the removable media being used to perform any desired operation on the gaming machine. Use of a removable media provides means to store large amounts of software on a single media to thereby access and perform numerous tasks including software install, software update, diagnosis, authentication, or configure. Prior to use of the removable media in the gaming machine, an authentication file is created. The authentication file contains a listing of each file on the removable media and an associated hash value calculated with a known hash function. These hash values are calculated and stored in an authentication file when the files on the removable media are known to be trusted. Encryption of the one or more hash values may occur. At a later date when the removable media is used in the gaming machine, a hash value re-calculation is performed on each file to determine the hash value at the time of use. The re-calculated hash values are compared to the decrypted hash values stored in the authentication file on the removable media on a file-by-file basis. If the values match, the removable media authenticates. If the values do not match, the removable media does not authenticate.

    Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于认证软件的系统。 在一个实施例中,本发明与游戏机结合使用以验证游戏机使用的或加载到游戏机上的软件。 为了实现认证,使用一种示例性操作模式来认证可移动介质的内容,所述可移动介质用于在游戏机上执行任何期望的操作。 使用可移动介质提供了将大量软件存储在单个介质上的方法,从而访问和执行包括软件安装,软件更新,诊断,认证或配置在内的许多任务。 在游戏机中使用可移动媒体之前,创建一个认证文件。 认证文件包含可移动介质上每个文件的列表以及使用已知散列函数计算的关联散列值。 当已知可移动介质上的文件被信任时,这些散列值被计算并存储在认证文件中。 可能会发生加密一个或多个散列值。 在随后的游戏机中使用可移动媒体的时候,对每个文件进行散列值重新计算,以确定使用时的散列值。 将重新计算的散列值与存储在可移动介质上的认证文件中的解密散列值进行逐个文件比较。 如果值匹配,则可移动媒体进行认证。 如果值不匹配,则可移动媒体不进行身份验证。

    Abstract: A gaming machine displays multiple game outcome presentations to one or more players playing the gaming machine. A player may initiate a new game on the gaming machine while the outcome of a previous game is being presented to the player. For a number of different games, two or more game outcomes may be presented simultaneously to the player on the gaming machine. The game outcome presentations for two or more of the games may appear to interact. However, the game outcomes determined by the gaming machine are independent of one another and do not depend on the game outcome presentation. Many different combinations of games may be played simultaneously on the gaming machine.

    Abstract translation: 游戏机向播放游戏机的一个或多个玩家显示多个游戏结果呈现。 玩家可以在游戏机上发起新游戏,同时向游戏者呈现先前游戏的结果。 对于许多不同的游戏,可以将两个或更多个游戏结果同时呈现给游戏机上的玩家。 两个或更多游戏的游戏结果演示似乎可以互动。 然而,由游戏机确定的游戏结果彼此独立,并不依赖于游戏结果呈现。 可以在游戏机上同时玩多种不同的游戏组合。

    Abstract: A disclosed gaming machine provides a gaming machine with a non-volatile memory storage device and gaming software that allows the dynamic allocation and de-allocation of memory locations in a non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory storage devices interface to an industry standard peripheral component interface (PCI) bus commonly used in the computer industry allowing communication between a master gaming controller the non-volatile memory. The master gaming controller executes software for a non-volatile memory allocation system that enables the dynamic allocation and de-allocation of non-volatile memory locations. In addition, the non-volatile memory allocation system enables a non-volatile memory file system. With the non-volatile memory file system, critical data stored in the non-volatile memory may be accessed and modified using operating system utilities such as word processors, graphic utilities and compression utilities.
