    摘要: Methods and apparatus for monitoring wagering game machines in a network are described herein. In one embodiment, a method for monitoring wagering game machines in a network includes receiving, in a wagering game machine, a wager associated with a wagering game. The method can also include receiving status information associated with a peripheral device or other component of the wagering game machine and transmitting diagnostic information indicating whether the peripheral device or other component needs service, wherein the diagnostic information is based at least in part on the status information.

    摘要: Example embodiments are directed to external control of peripheral devices through a communication proxy of an electronic wagering game machine in a wagering game network. In a particular embodiment, an electronic wagering game machine includes a central processing unit (CPU); at least one peripheral device in data communication with the CPU; and a data communication interface in data communication with the CPU to enable data communication with an external system via an external system interface, the data communication interface including a first communication mode to control data communication between the external system and the at least one peripheral device, the data communication interface including a second communication mode to enable a communication proxy that optionally relinquishes control of the data communication between the external system and the at least one peripheral device.
