Abstract
A computer-implemented method of authenticating a memory of a gaming machine uses a computing device having a processor communicatively coupled to a memory. The method includes identifying a first subset of the memory including one or more operational data components associated with operating the gaming machine. The method also includes identifying a second subset of the memory. At least some of the second subset of the memory is distinct from the first subset of the memory. The method further includes authenticating the first subset of the memory while the gaming machine is in a disabled state. The method also includes enabling operation of the gaming machine after said authenticating the first subset of the memory if the authentication of the first subset of the memory is successful. The method further includes authenticating the second subset of the memory while the gaming machine is in an enabled state.
