An electronic gaming machine (EGM) includes a cabinet, a wireless transmitter, a memory device storing a unique device identifier (ID) of the EGM, and a game controller. The game controller is configured to execute a first node of a blockchain network on the EGM and store a first copy of the blockchain on a first memory partition, execute a second node of the blockchain network on the EGM and store a second copy of the blockchain on a second memory partition, generate a metering event associated with game play, submit a first blockchain transaction to the blockchain network, causing the first blockchain transaction to be added to a new block on the blockchain, and locally determine consensus for the new block on the blockchain between the first node and the second node of the EGM.

Securely storing machine data on a non-volatile memory device

A security support device installed within or affixed to an electronic gaming machine includes at least one network interface configured to inspect network traffic being generated by one or more components of the electronic gaming machine. The security support device also includes a security support component configured to receive network packets from the at least one network interface, the network packets are transmitted between a game controller of the electronic gaming machine and one of the external server, extract one or more components of operational data from the network packets, the operational data related to the operation of the electronic gaming machine, detect fraudulent player conduct based on the one or more components of operational data, and generate a security alert in response to the detected fraudulent player conduct.

Gaming machine security devices and methods

A slot game integrates a wheel positioned between one or more preceding reels and one or more subsequent reels. The game controller may dynamically populate the wheel with symbols from the outcome of the one or more preceding reels. The controller determines a symbol outcome for the wheel and performs pay evaluation based on applying the symbol outcome as positioned between the one or more preceding reel outcomes and the one or more subsequent reel outcomes. The game controller may perform cross-symbol mapping to map the symbol outcome to a subsequent reel.

Integrating a wheel between reels of a slot game

In one aspect, an electronic gaming machine is described. The electronic gaming machine includes at least one display device, a player input interface, a credit input mechanism, and a game controller configured to execute instructions. When executed by the game controller, the instructions cause the game controller to select a set of historical events from a plurality of sets of historical events for use in a wagering game, select a plurality of arrangements of historical event data, and determine a plurality of sub-wagers from a received credit wager. The instructions further cause the game controller to assign each sub-wager of the plurality of sub-wagers to a different arrangement of the historical event data and determine an outcome of the wagering game by applying the historical event data for the set of historical events to each of the different arrangements of the historical event data having a sub-wager assigned thereto.

Systems and methods for electronic gaming using historical data

This is disclosed an electronic method of gaming. The method comprises selecting a symbol for display at each display position of a plurality of sets of display positions (), modifying the displayed symbols by interchanging a first set of symbols displayed at a first set of display positions with a second set of symbols displayed at a second set of display positions (), and determining whether to make an award based on the symbols displayed at the plurality of sets of display positions as modified. There is also disclosed a gaming system, a game controller and a gaming machine corresponding to the electronic method.

A gaming device having a first chance opportunity and a second, serially dependent, chance opportunity is provided. The first chance opportunity is preferably a multiple reel game having a special outcome for triggering the second chance opportunity. The second chance opportunity is preferably a plurality of wheels rotatably coupled to a tower atop the reel game. The first of the wheels will spin and provide an outcome upon a specified outcome of the reel game. Each successive wheel will spin when a specified outcome is depicted on a previous wheel. This will continue until either the specified outcome does not occur or the last wheel is spun. In another version, plural wheels are each uniquely related&#x2014;one to a given reel, such that a certain reel outcome will energize its associated wheel only. Multiple wheels, when synchronized to a certain outcome, lead to a bigger wheel for a jackpot.

Gaming device having first chance means and serially dependent second chance means

A video gaming device in which a first game having a first award structure is influenced by a second game having an award structure enhancement operatively coupled to the first game all of which are integrally found on a video display monitor.

A gaming device security system is disclosed which includes two processing areas linked together and communicating critical gaming functions via a security protocol wherein each transmitted gaming function includes a specific encrypted signature to be decoded and validated before being processed by either processing area. The two processing areas include a first processing area having a dynamic RAM and an open architecture design which is expandable without interfering or accessing critical gaming functions and a second &ldquo;secure&rdquo; processing area having a non-alterable memory for the storage of critical gaming functions therein.

Gaming device security system: apparatus and method

A gaming device and method which provides a player with an opportunity of an enhanced output based on a display of a first predetermined value on a first display which subsequently activates a second display controllable to a certain extent by the player. The second display provides the player with an enhanced credit scheme and provides the player with a second option of continuing to attempt to enhance the credit payout or retiring before an event occurs which extinguishes the bonusing feature and the award.

Gaming device

A gaming apparatus and method including a primary game and a player interactive bonus game actuated by a qualifying outcome of the primary game and including a bonus award display showing a multiplicity of images displayed on a video monitor from which a player selects until achieving a pair of matched bonus awards.
