Abstract

Method and apparatus are described which are used to provide enhanced functionality on gaming devices associated with the play of wager-based games. A secondary processor, separate from a game controller on the gaming device, can be used to provide the enhanced functionality. In one embodiment, the secondary processor can be used to control a display interface on a video display, such as a video display used to play a wager-based game on the gaming device. The display interface can be used to purchase items, such as a lottery ticket, under control of the secondary processor. After purchase, the lottery ticket can be dispensed from the gaming device using a printer. After the lottery ticket is dispensed, it can be reinserted into the gaming device and validated. If any winnings are associated with the lottery ticket, it can be credited to the electronic gaming machine.

Claims (44)

1. A system comprising:

an electronic gaming machine comprising:

a housing including a door;

a security sensor supported by the housing;

an input device supported by the housing and configured to receive an input to purchase a lottery ticket;

a display device supported by the housing and configured to display a notification of the purchase of the lottery ticket responsive to a completion of a purchase of the lottery ticket;

a slot accounting system port; and

a processor programmed to, responsive to a detection, via the security sensor, of an opening of the door, cause data associated with the opening of the door to be stored, and disable any receipt of any inputs to purchase any lottery tickets until an operator intervention event occurs;

a slot machine interface board supported by the housing of the electronic gaming machine and in communication with a gaming establishment player tracking server; and

a device comprising a communication interface having a first slot accounting system protocol interface connected to the slot accounting system port of the electronic gaming machine and a second slot accounting system protocol interface connected to the slot machine interface board, and

responsive to a receipt, from a remote server, of data associated with the completion of the purchase of the lottery ticket, the device is programmed to:

communicate, to the slot machine interface board and via the second slot accounting system protocol interface data which results in the player tracking server storing data of the purchased lottery ticket in association with a gaming establishment player tracking account of an identified user.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein responsive to a receipt, via the slot machine interface board and from the gaming establishment player tracking server, of data that the purchased lottery ticket comprises a winning lottery ticket, a credit balance of the electronic gaming machine is caused to be increased in association with the winning lottery ticket.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the increase of the credit balance of the electronic gaming machine occurs independent of any inputs received via the input device of the electronic gaming machine.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein responsive to a receipt, via the slot machine interface board and from the gaming establishment player tracking server, of data that the purchased lottery ticket comprises a winning lottery ticket, a notification of a deposit of an amount of funds associated with the winning lottery ticket into an account associated with the identified player is caused to be displayed by the display device of the electronic gaming machine.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the deposit of the amount of funds occurs independent of any inputs received via the input device of the electronic gaming machine.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the lottery ticket is associated with one of a state lottery and a gaming establishment lottery.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein an amount of funds to purchase the lottery ticket are stored in an account associated with the identified player.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the amount of funds comprises an amount of promotional credits.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein responsive to the completion of the purchase of the lottery ticket, a printer is caused to print the lottery ticket.

10. A gaming establishment player tracking system server comprising:

a processor; and

a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

maintain an amount of promotional credits in association with a gaming establishment player tracking account, and

responsive to a receipt, from a slot machine interface board supported by a housing of an electronic gaming machine, of data associated with an attempted purchase of a lottery ticket by a player associated with the gaming establishment player tracking account, responsive to a determination that the amount of promotional credits is sufficient for the purchase of the lottery ticket, and responsive to a receipt, from a remote server and via a device comprising a communication interface having a first slot accounting system protocol interface connected to a slot accounting system port of the electronic gaming machine and a second slot accounting system protocol interface connected to the slot machine interface board, of a completion of the purchase of the lottery ticket:

reduce, based on the purchase of the lottery ticket, the amount of promotional credits,

store data associated with the purchased lottery ticket to the gaming establishment player tracking account, and

cause a communication of data that results in a display, by a display device of the electronic gaming machine, of a notification of the purchase of the lottery ticket.

11. A method of operating a system, the method comprising:

receiving, via an input device of an electronic gaming machine, an input to purchase a lottery ticket,

responsive to a receipt, from a remote server and via a device comprising a communication interface having a first slot accounting system protocol interface connected to a slot accounting system port of the electronic gaming machine and a second slot accounting system protocol interface connected to a slot machine interface board in communication with a gaming establishment player tracking server, of data associated with a completion of the purchase of the lottery ticket:

displaying, by a display device of the electronic gaming machine, a notification of the purchase of the lottery ticket, and

communicating, to the slot machine interface board and via the second slot accounting system communication protocol interface, data which results in the player tracking server storing data of the purchased lottery ticket in association with a gaming establishment player tracking account of an identified user, and

responsive to a detection, via a security sensor of the electronic gaming machine, of an opening of a door of the electronic gaming machine:

causing data associated with the opening of the door to be stored, and

disabling any receipt of any inputs to purchase any lottery tickets until an operator intervention event occurs.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising, responsive to a receipt, via the slot machine interface board and from the gaming establishment player tracking server, of data that the purchased lottery ticket comprises a winning lottery ticket, causing an increase of a credit balance of the electronic gaming machine in association with the winning lottery ticket.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the increase of the credit balance of the electronic gaming machine occurs independent of any inputs received via the input device of the electronic gaming machine.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising, responsive to a receipt, via the slot machine interface board and from the gaming establishment player tracking server, of data that the purchased lottery ticket comprises a winning lottery ticket, displaying, by the display device of the electronic gaming machine, a notification of a deposit of an amount of funds associated with the winning lottery ticket into an account associated with the identified player.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the deposit of the amount of funds occurs independent of any inputs received via the input device of the electronic gaming machine.
