Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus for storing wagering game data are described herein. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a wagering game unit configured to begin presentation of a wagering game and to request that wagering game data be stored. The wagering game can also be configured to wait for an indication that the wagering game data has been stored, and, after receipt of the indication, to resume presentation of the wagering game. The apparatus can also include a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) configured to store the wagering game data. The apparatus can also a hard disk drive configured to store the wagering game data. The apparatus can also include a storage controller configured to direct storage of the wagering game data in the NVRAM in response to the wagering game unit's request, to provide to the wagering game unit an indication that the wagering game data has been stored, and to direct storage of the wagering game data to the hard disk drive.
