1. A computer implemented method to create a non-gaming machine specific assignment template for a job to be executed at a later time by a casino gaming machine download and configuration system, the method comprising:
- generating, by a download and configuration system processor, a list of executable jobs that, when executed, modify content stored on a gaming machine, the list of executable jobs including at least one of;
a download job to transfer content to the gaming machine and a configuration job to configure the gaming machine;
causing the display of the generated list of executable jobs;
receiving on an input device communicably coupled to the download and configuration system processor, at least one user input indicative of a selection of at least one executable job from the displayed list of executable jobs, the selected at least one executable job for inclusion in a non-gaming machine specific assignment template;
generating a display output in a first window, the display output in the first window including a list of proposed assignment conditions associated with the respective ones of the selected at least one executable job included in the assignment template;
receiving, via the input device, at least one user input indicative of user-selected assignment conditions associated with respective ones of the selected at least one executable job;
generating a display output in a second window, the display output in the second window including a list of proposed modifications based at least in part on the selected at least one executable job and the selected assignment conditions associated with respective ones of the selected at least one executable job included in the assignment template; and
saving to a processor-readable, nontransitory storage medium communicably coupled to the download and configuration system processor, data representative of the non-gaming machine specific assignment template for later execution by a casino download and configuration system that modifies content on a number of user-identified gaming machines according to a schedule.

8. An assignment-modifier system to create a non-gaming machine specific assignment template for a job to be executed by a casino download and configuration system, comprising:
-
at least one download and configuration system processor; at least one computer-readable storage medium communicably coupled to the at least one download and configuration system processor; an assignment-creator module that is stored in the at least one computer-readable storage medium and that is configured, when executed by the at least one download and configuration system processor, to; generate a list of executable jobs that modify content stored on a gaming machine, the list of executable jobs including at least one of;
a download job to transfer content to the gaming machine and a configuration job to configure content on the gaming machine;generate a display output that includes at least the generated list of executable jobs; receive at least one user input to select at least one executable job from the displayed list of executable jobs for inclusion in a non-gaming machine specific assignment template; generate a display output that includes a list of proposed assignment conditions in a first window, the list of proposed assignment conditions associated with respective ones of the selected at least one executable job included in the non-gaming machine specific assignment template; receive at least one user input indicative of a selection of the assignment conditions associated with respective ones of the user-selected at least one executable job; generate a display output that includes a list of proposed modifications in a second window, the list of proposed modifications based at least in part on the user-selected at least one executable job and the user-selected assignment conditions associated with respective ones of the user-selected at least one executable job and included in the non-gaming machine specific assignment template; and save a non-gaming machine specific assignment template for later execution by a download and configuration system that modifies content on a number of user-identified gaming machines according to a schedule. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An assignment-modifier system to modify a non-gaming machine specific assignment template for a job to be executed by a download and configuration system in a casino, comprising:
-
at least one download and configuration system processor; at least one computer-readable storage medium communicably coupled to the at least one download and configuration system processor; an assignment-modifier module that is stored in the at least one computer-readable storage medium and that is configured, when executed by the at least one download and configuration system processor, to; generate a list of non-gaming machine specific assignment templates, wherein each non-gaming machine specific assignment template includes at least one respective executable job that includes instructions to modify content stored on at least one gaming machine; generate a display output that includes the generated list of non-gaming machine specific assignment templates; receive at least one user input to select a first non-gaming machine specific assignment template from the list of displayed non-gaming machine specific assignment templates; open the first non-gaming machine specific assignment template such that the first non-gaming machine specific assignment template is changeable; receive at least one user input indicative of a change to at least one executable job included in the first non-gaming machine specific assignment template; change the at least one executable job included in the first non-gaming machine specific assignment template based at least on the user input indicative of the change; generate a display output that includes a list of proposed assignment conditions in a first window, the list of proposed assignment conditions associated with the changed at least one executable job included in a changed first non-gaming machine specific assignment template; receive at least one user input indicative of a selection of the assignment conditions associated with the changed at least one executable job included in the changed first non-gaming machine specific assignment template; generate a display output that includes a list of proposed modifications in a second window, the list of proposed modifications based at least in part on the changed at least one executable job and the user-selected proposed assignment conditions associated with the at least one changed executable job and included in the changed first non-gaming machine specific assignment template; and save, to the at least one computer-readable storage medium, the changed first non-gaming machine specific assignment template for later execution by a download and configuration system that modifies content on a number of user-identified gaming machines according to a schedule. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
