Abstract

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for employing universal computerized game processor (111) to control an electronic wagering device (100). The apparatus includes a video display device (107), a communication port coupled to the game controller (110), an interface assembly comprising one or more user interface devices (113), and an input/output interface unit (112). The method reconfigures a computerized wagering game apparatus (100) with a universal controller (111). The method comprises removing an original special purpose controller; replacing it with a universal controller (111) and input/output interface (112); and sending signals through the system to confirm proper communication of the components.

Claims (21)

1. A computerized wagering game apparatus, comprising:
a universal computerized game controller operable to control a computerized wagering game;
a video display device providing a visual representation of a signal provided by the computerized game controller such that the video display device displays at least one visual image selected from the group consisting of a) computerized wagering game status information and b) symbol elements that change with the play of the wagering game;
a communication port communicatively coupled to the computerized game controller;
an interface assembly comprising one or more user interface devices; and an I/O interface configured to communicatively couple the interface assembly to the communication port.
2. The computerized wagering game apparatus of claim 1 wherein the game controller is an IBM PC-compatible computer system
3. The computerized gaming apparatus of claim 1 wherein the communication port is selected from the group consisting of a PC serial port, PC parallel port, a PC
104 port and a USB port.
4. The computerized wagering game apparatus of claim 1 wherein at least one of the user interface devices are selected from the group consisting of buttons, slot machine arms, touch screen coordinates and joy sticks.
5. The computerized wagering game apparatus of claim 1 wherein at least one of the user interface devices comprises a credit management device.
6. The computerized wagering game apparatus of claim 5 wherein the credit management device is selected from the group consisting of coin acceptors, coin recognition systems, currency acceptors, currency recognition systems, credit card readers, and smart card readers.
7. The computerized wagering game apparatus of claim 1 wherein at least one of the user interface devices comprises a security device.
8. The computerized wagering game apparatus of claim 7 wherein at least one of the security devices is selected from the group consisting of tilt switches, device integrity switches, and spurious electrical discharge detectors.
9. A method for reconfiguring a computerized wagering game apparatus having a harness for associating memory with output devices in the apparatus, the method comprising:
a) removing an original special-purpose computerized game controller used to control a computerized wagering game from the apparatus, the original computerized game controller designed to and capable of working exclusively with a particular computerized wagering game apparatus;
b) inserting a universal computerized game controller operable to control a video wagering game that can be played on the video wagering game apparatus and an I/O
interface that operatively couples the universal computerized game controller to user interface devices of the wagering game apparatus; and c) sending signals from the computerized game controller through the I/O and harness to confirm proper communication between the computerized game controller and the user interface devices.
10. The method of claim 9 wherein after said sending signals, the video gaming apparatus enables a video display device associated with the video wagering game apparatus to provide a visual representation of a signal provided by the computerized game controller such that the video display device displays at least one visual image selected from the group consisting of a) computerized wagering game status information and b) symbol elements that change with the play of the wagering game.
11. The method of claim 9, wherein the universal computerized game apparatus is an IBM PC-compatible computer system.
