REMOTE MANAGEMENT OF A GAMING MACHINE
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a host platform having a host processor controlled by a host operating system, the host platform having a host storage and a host power state, wherein the host processor is operable to execute instructions that includes a wagering game; and
a subsystem that is operable independent of the host operating system and the host power state, wherein the subsystem includes;
a processor that is separate from and operates independent of the host processor; and
a nonvolatile data store that is separate from the host storage.

Abstract
Systems, apparatus and methods for remote management of a gaming machine are described herein. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a host platform having a host processor controlled by a host operating system. The host platform has a host storage and a host power state, wherein the host processor is to execute instructions that includes a wagering game. The apparatus also includes a subsystem that is operable independent of the host operating system and the host power state. The subsystem includes a processor that is separate from the host processor. The subsystem also includes a nonvolatile data store that is separate from the storage of the host platform.
