GAMING SYSTEM AND GAMING SYSTEM PROCESSOR MODULE
First Claim
1. A gaming system processor module adapted to support simultaneous execution of two or more operating system instances to thereby enable execution of program code which enables play of a game, whereby execution of the program code uses two or more cooperating component processes partitioned such that at least one of the component processes executes using a first operating system instance, and at least one other cooperating component process executes using a further operating system instance.

Abstract
A gaming system and processor module are therefore adapted to support simultaneous execution of two or more operating system instances. Program code is provided for play of the game uses two or more cooperating component processes partitioned such that at least one of the component processes executes using a first operating system instance, and at least one other cooperating component process executes using a further operating system instance. Each operating system instance may execute in its own virtual machine.

15. A gaming system comprising:
-
a player interface arranged to enable a player to enter instructions to play a game and including one or more displays to display game results; and a game controller in data communication with the player interface, the game controller comprising; a memory; and an electronic processing arrangement adapted to support simultaneous execution of two or more operating system instances to thereby enable execution of program code which enables play of a game, whereby execution of the program code uses two or more cooperating component processes partitioned such that at least one of the component processes executes using a first operating system instance, and at least one other cooperating component process executes using a further operating system instance. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

32. A method of gaming comprising the steps of:
-
providing program code which enables play of a game, wherein execution of the program code uses two or more cooperating component processes; executing at least one of the component processes using a first operating system instance; and executing at least one other cooperating component process using a further operating system instance, wherein the execution of the component processes in the first and further operating systems cooperates to implement the game. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34)
