摘要： A disclosed gaming machine has a plurality of "gaming peripherals," each communicating with a master gaming controller via a standard peripheral interface such as the USB (Universal Serial Bus). Further, the gaming peripherals employ a standard peripheral controller and one or more specialized "peripheral devices" (e.g., the actual lights, bill validators, ticket printers, etc. that perform the specific functions of the gaming peripherals). Much of the hardware associated with the peripheral controller is identical from one gaming peripheral to the next. Only a portion of the peripheral controller hardware is specific to the different types of gaming peripherals.

摘要翻译： 所公开的游戏机具有多个“游戏外设”，每个都通过诸如USB（通用串行总线）的标准外围接口与主游戏控制器进行通信。 此外，游戏外围设备使用标准外围控制器和一个或多个专门的“外围设备”（例如，执行游戏外设的特定功能的实际灯，票据验证器，票据打印机等）。 与外围控制器相关联的许多硬件与一个游戏外设相同。 外围控制器硬件的一部分仅针对不同类型的游戏外设。
