Data pattern verification in a gaming machine environment
First Claim
1. A method of detecting at least one anomaly associated with gaming data, the gaming data being associated with a first gaming machine configured or designed to receive a wager on a game of chance, the method comprising:
- selecting a first portion of gaming data for analysis, the first portion of gaming data corresponding to a first data pattern;
selecting a first comparison pattern relating to the first data pattern;
comparing the first comparison pattern to a first portion of the first data pattern; and
determining, based at least in part on the comparison of the first comparison pattern to the first portion of the first data pattern, whether at least one anomaly has been detected in association with the first data pattern.

Abstract
A technique is disclosed for detecting at least one anomaly associated gaming data, wherein the gaming data is associated with a first casino gaming machine. A first portion of gaming data is selected for analysis. According to a specific embodiment, the first portion of gaming data corresponds to a first data pattern. A first comparison pattern relating to the first data pattern is also selected. A comparison is then performed in which the first comparison pattern is compared with a first portion of the first data pattern. Based upon the results of the comparison, a determination may be made as to whether at least one anomaly is detected in association with the first data pattern.
