Game information delivered from other video game processing apparatus different from a player's own video game processing apparatus is received via radio communication. Conditional read data and unconditional read data are stored in an information storage as the game information received by the information receiver. The conditional read data cannot be read when a specific condition is met, while the unconditional read data can be read unconditionally. It is determined whether or not the specific condition is met during progress of the video game. When the game information indicates the unconditional read data, the unconditional read data are set to readable in the case where the unconditional read data are stored in the information storage. On the other hand, when the game information indicates the conditional read data, the conditional read data are set to readable in the case where it is determined that the specific condition is met.

Gaming capabilities to users at wireless hotspots wherein users can save their gaming characters and transporting them for play and development in, e.g., future games at other hotspots independent of the original game in which the character was saved. A gaming server is provided at a WLAN, wherein the user logs onto the hotspot and accesses the gaming server to select and play a game, wherein the user is represented by a character in the game. At any desired point in the game, the user may save the character onto a transportable medium, e.g., a mobile device, floppy disk, CD, etc. The user may play a future game using the saved character at, e.g., different hotspots against different users.

At least application programs and display files used to generate display images associated with the applications are recorded in a cartridge-type game recording medium. A storage is a built-in type recording medium. When the game recording medium is loaded in a drive, an installer processing unit acquires the display files from the game recording medium and installs the acquired display files in the storage. A board image generating unit generates a board image using the display file installed.

摘要:
The present invention provides a system and method for gaming system configuration and control in a gaming environment. Certain embodiments include receiving a request for an application to execute at a gaming system, and routing the request to an appropriate application server to provide the application at the gaming system. The request may be routed based on a status of a plurality of application servers, for example. The method may also include verifying that the gaming system is authorized to execute the application. In an embodiment, the method includes distributing a request for data among a plurality of database servers. The method may further include updating an application at the gaming system prior to execution of the application. In an embodiment, the application is automatically updated prior to execution. The method may also include detecting alteration of an application prior to execution of the application.

A gaming system method includes first reading external identifying information for a player from an external identification device carried by the player and then associating the external identifying information with a player account in a gaming system. The method further includes reading the external identifying information for the player from a player station device included the gaming system, and then accessing the player account using that external identifying information read from the player station device.
摘要:
Acquiring an interactive digital content item including a plurality of content portions includes receiving a first set of the content portions that is less than an entirety of the content portions. A partial functionality version of the interactive digital content item is presented using the first set of content portions. A second set of the content portions is received while the partial functionality version of the interactive digital content item is presented. Functionality is added to the partial functionality version of the interactive digital content item using the second set of content portions without interrupting presentation of the partial functionality version of the interactive digital content item.
