1. A gaming device, comprising:
- a memory having a plurality of power management rules; and
a processor configured to;
receive a power status information and at least one predefined propagation directive from at least one secondary gaming device;
retrieve at least one power management rule from the memory; and
set a power state of the gaming device based on the power status information received from the at least one secondary gaming device and the at least one power management rule,wherein the gaming device is one of a plurality of gaming devices coupled to a network, wherein the secondary gaming device is another one of the plurality of gaming devices,wherein the gaming device and the secondary gaming device are proximately located in an establishment and within a predetermined zone within the establishment, andwherein the propagation directive determines which of the plurality of the plurality of gaming devices other than the gaming device that is to receive information pertaining to the power state of the gaming device.
