1. A method comprising:
- transmitting a master configuration from a central operations of a hierarchical multitiered system to a local gaming site having a site controller and one or more gaming components, the master configuration having a first set of configuration parameters;
deriving by the site controller a second configuration from the master configuration, the second configuration having a second set of configuration parameters that further limit the first set of configuration parameters;
receiving, by the central operations, a selected configuration from the local gaming site, wherein the selected configuration is determined from the second configuration and wherein the selected configuration is determined by at least one of the site controller or the one or more gaming components; and
downloading, from the central operations to the one or more gaming components, the selected configuration to the one or more of the gaming components through the hierarchical multi-tiered system.

11. A system comprising:
-
a central data store to store a master configuration for a number of gaming components at a local gaming site having a site controller, the master configuration having a first set of configuration parameters; and a central administration unit to transmit the master configuration to the site controller for the local gaming site, wherein the site controller derives a second configuration from the master configuration, the second configuration having a second set of configuration parameters that further limit the first set of configuration parameters and further wherein the central administration unit is to receive, from the local gaming site, a selected configuration for at least one of the number of gaming components, wherein the selected configuration is determined from the second configuration and wherein the selected configuration is determined by at least one of the site controller or one of the number of gaming components. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
