Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method for conserving memory storage on a gaming machine. The method includes creating a resource file and caching the resource file in RAM on a gaming machine; determining whether the resource file is accessed more than a preselected number of times within a preselected time interval; caching the resource file in a SWAP store as a SWAP file if the resource file has not been accessed the preselected number of times within the preselected time interval; monitoring the number of times the SWAP file is accessed within a preselected period of time; and caching the SWAP file as a resource file in RAM of the gaming machine if the SWAP file is accessed a number of preselected times or more.

Abstract translation: 本发明的实施例包括一种用于在游戏机上保存存储器的方法。 该方法包括在游戏机上创建资源文件并将资源文件缓存在RAM中; 在预选时间间隔内确定资源文件是否被访问多于预选次数; 如果在预选的时间间隔内尚未访问预选次数的资源文件，则将资源文件作为SWAP文件缓存在SWAP存储中; 在预选的时间段内监控SWAP文件被访问的次数; 并且如果SWAP文件被访问多个预选次数或更多次，则将SWAP文件作为资源文件缓存到游戏机的RAM中。

Abstract: A gaming machine includes two persistent random access memory sections. Critical data written to one memory section is copied to the other. Systems and methods for managing the two memory sections may include a transaction engine executable on a gaming machine processor. Alternatively, the transaction engine may execute or on a memory controller implemented as an Application Specific Integrated Circuit, a separate processor, or programmable logic. A transaction state may be used to determine which of the copies in the two memory sections is valid.

Abstract: A multi-player gaming system sensing multiple simultaneous contacts on a surface of a gaming table, differentiating contacts by different players. Privacy controls selectively display private information visible to only one of the players on or near the display surface of the gaming table. The gaming system also detects physical objects placed on the surface of the gaming table, causing wagering game functions or peripheral functions to be performed as a result of the placement of the object on the display surface.

Abstract translation: 一种多玩家游戏系统，用于感应游戏桌面上的多个同时接触，从而区分不同玩家的联系。 隐私控制选择性地显示仅对游戏桌的显示表面上或附近的玩家中的一个可见的私人信息。 游戏系统还检测放置在游戏桌的表面上的物理物体，从而导致投注游戏功能或外围功能作为将物体放置在显示表面上的结果来执行。
