1. A device comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory device which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;
receive, from a wagering gaming machine executing wagering gaming machine software, data associated with gaming content generated by a processor of the wagering gaming machine, wherein the device is distinct from the wagering gaming machine,receive, from a remote logic device executing remote logic device software, data associated with supplemental content generated by the remote logic device, wherein the device is distinct from the remote logic device,integrate the data associated with the gaming content generated by the processor of the wagering gaming machine and the data associated with the supplemental content generated by the remote logic device to produce integrated content, andafter a determination occurs to allocate control of a single display device of the wagering gaming machine to the processor of the device, communicate integrated content data which results in the single display device of the wagering gaming machine displaying the produced integrated content, wherein the display of the produced integrated content includes the gaming content and the supplemental content being simultaneously displayed by the single display device of the wagering gaming machine, and the determination occurs based, at least in part, on a usage of the processor of the wagering gaming machine.

Abstract
A gaming system including a number of host devices each coupled to one or more gaming machines, wherein content provided by the host device is output on the gaming machine. To output the content provided by the remote host, a host-controlled process that is authenticated by the gaming machine and executed in a secure memory location such that it is isolated from other processes executing on the gaming machine may be utilized. The host-controlled processes may be decoupled from the process used to execute the game of chance played on the gaming machine such that the content output by the host-controlled process does not alter the play of game of chance.

10. A device comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory device which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; responsive to a first determination occurring, based on a first usage of a processor of a gaming machine at a first point in time, to allocate control of a first resource associated with a first portion of a display device of the gaming machine to a remote logic device that is distinct from the processor and executing remote logic device software, cause a display, in a first moveable service window of the display device, of remote logic device content selected from the group consisting of;
content associated with a side bet, content associated with a progressive award, content associated with a quantity of player tracking points of a player logged into the gaming machine, content associated with a promotion being offered by a gaming establishment operator, andwhile the first service window is being displayed and responsive to a second determination occurring, based on a second usage of the processor of the gaming machine at a second, subsequent point in time, to allocate control of a second resource associated with a second portion of the display device of the gaming machine to the remote logic device, cause a display, in a second moveable service window of the display device, of different remote logic device content. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. A method of operating a device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from a wagering gaming machine executing wagering gaming machine software, data associated with gaming content generated by a processor of the wagering gaming machine, wherein the device is distinct from the wagering gaming machine, receiving, from a remote logic device executing remote logic device software, data associated with supplemental content generated by the remote logic device, wherein the device is distinct from the remote logic device, integrating, by a processor, the data associated with the gaming content generated by the processor of the wagering gaming machine and the data associated with the supplemental content generated by the remote logic device to produce integrated content, and after a determination occurs to allocate control of a single display device of the wagering gaming machine to the processor, communicating integrated content data which results in the single display device of the wagering gaming machine displaying the produced integrated content, wherein the display of the produced integrated content includes the gaming content and the supplemental content being simultaneously displayed by the single display device of the wagering gaming machine, and the determination occurs based, at least in part, on a usage of the processor of the wagering gaming machine. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
