Abstract: A disclosed gaming machine provides a gaming machine with devices able to output entertainment content (e.g. movies, TV programming, audio programs and advertising) from entertainment content sources located within the gaming machine or outside of the gaming machine. A player utilizing the gaming machine may access, independently of game play, entertainment content on the gaming machine where access to the entertainment content is granted according to a predetermined fee. In addition, the player utilizing the gaming machine may receive personal messages on the gaming machine. For example, while utilizing the gaming machine, a player may receive, e-mail, stock quotes, news and advertising that is of particular interest to the player utilizing the gaming machine.

Abstract: A system for authenticating software is disclosed. In one embodiment, the invention is utilized in conjunction with a gaming machine to authenticate the software utilized by the gaming machine or loaded onto the gaming machine. To achieve authentication, one exemplary mode of operation is used to authenticate the contents of a removable media, the removable media being used to perform any desired operation on the gaming machine. Use of a removable media provides means to store large amounts of software on a single media to thereby access and perform numerous tasks including software install, software update, diagnosis, authentication, or configure. Prior to use of the removable media in the gaming machine, an authentication file is created. The authentication file contains a listing of each file on the removable media and an associated hash value calculated with a known hash function. These hash values are calculated and stored in an authentication file when the files on the removable media are known to be trusted. Encryption of the one or more hash values may occur. At a later date when the removable media is used in the gaming machine, a hash value re-calculation is performed on each file to determine the hash value at the time of use. The re-calculated hash values are compared to the decrypted hash values stored in the authentication file on the removable media on a file-by-file basis. If the values match, the removable media authenticates. If the values do not match, the removable media does not authenticate.

Abstract: A gaming machine displays multiple game outcome presentations to one or more players playing the gaming machine. A player may initiate a new game on the gaming machine while the outcome of a previous game is being presented to the player. For a number of different games, two or more game outcomes may be presented simultaneously to the player on the gaming machine. The game outcome presentations for two or more of the games may appear to interact. However, the game outcomes determined by the gaming machine are independent of one another and do not depend on the game outcome presentation. Many different combinations of games may be played simultaneously on the gaming machine.
