Scan based configuration control in a gaming environment
First Claim
1. A gaming machine for facilitating configuration of a gaming machine comprising:
- at least one processor;
at least one interface;
at least one display; and
memory;
the gaming machine being configured or designed to;
receive first input for change an operating mode of the gaming machine to a configuration mode of operation;
change the operating mode of the gaming machine to the configuration mode of operation in response to the first input;
detect a presence of a gaming machine configuration device;
read configuration indicia stored on the configuration device;
automatically determine, using the configuration indicia, at least one configuration parameter relating to configuration of the gaming machine; and
implement configuration or reconfiguration of the gaming machine using the at least one configuration parameter.

Abstract
Techniques are dis closed for facilitating configuration of a gaming machine, and for facilitating authentication testing of selected components of a gaming machine. In at least one embodiment, configuration of the gaming machine may be effected via the use of a gaming machine configuration device. When the presence of a gaming machine configuration device is detected, configuration indicia stored on the configuration device may be accessed and used to determine at least one configuration parameter relating to configuration of the gaming machine. Configuration or reconfiguration of the gaming machine may then be implemented using the at least one configuration parameter. In at least one embodiment, authentication of the gaming machine component may be effected via the use of a gaming machine authentication device. When the presence of a gaming machine authentication device is detected, authentication information stored on the authentication device may be accessed and used to generate authentication output data relating to the component being authenticated. The authentication output data may then be provided to an external entity for verifying the results of the authentication test.

18. A gaming machine for facilitating authentication testing of a first gaming machine component in order to determine an authenticity of the first component, the gaming machine comprising:
-
at least one processor;
at least one interface;
at least one display; and
memory;
the gaming machine being configured or designed to;
detect a presence of a gaming machine authentication device;
read authentication information stored on the authentication device;
perform a first authentication test on the first component using at least a portion of the authentication information;
generate, in response to the first authentication test, authentication output data; and
provide the authentication output data to an external entity. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
