Abstract

An electronic gaming system has been developed. The system includes an electronic gaming device that receives a wager and generates an outcome of the wager. The outcome is not disclosed to the player and is issued in the form of a cashless instrument. An outcome display device accepts the cashless instrument and displays the outcome to the player.

Claims (19)

1. An electronic gaming system, comprising:

an electronic gaming device configured to receive a wager, the wager establishing a credit balance, wherein the credit balance is deducted an amount for play of a game;

a player input device configured to communicate player instructions to the electronic gaming device;

a payment output device configured to deliver a payment;

a visual output device configured to deliver viewable content;

an audio output device configured to deliver audible content;

an outcome determination device configured to at least partially randomly determine a wager outcome for the game based on the player instructions and the amount deducted;

an internal electronic processing device configured to command an output device to disclose the wager outcome; and

a secure interface device configured to monitor the internal electronic processing device's inputs and outputs and wager outcomes determined by the outcome determination device, wherein the secure interface device is further configured to interrupt an output command to the output device to disclose the wager outcome and deliver a cashless instrument delineative of the wager outcome for future disclosure of the wager outcome.

2. An electronic gaming system, comprising:

an electronic gaming device that receives a wagering input from a player to play a game, the wagering input establishing a credit balance, wherein the credit balance is deducted an amount for play of the game in which a game outcome is at least partially randomly determined;

an event detector and command generation device configured to monitor the game outcome and interrupt immediate display of the game outcome to the player;

a cashless instrument configured, after interruption of the immediate display of the game outcome, to represent the determined game outcome; and

an outcome display device configured to interpret the cashless instrument and display the determined game outcome according to the cashless instrument.

3. An electronic gaming system, comprising:

a gaming outcome determination device that receives a wagering input from a player to play a game, the wagering input establishing a credit balance, wherein the credit balance is deducted an amount for play of the game in which a game outcome that is not disclosed is at least partially randomly determined;

a cashless instrument output device configured to deliver a cashless instrument responsive to determining the at least partially randomly determined game outcome, wherein the cashless instrument output device is connected to the outcome determination device via a secure interface configured to isolate the outcome determination device from external equipment and software;

a cashless instrument delivered by the cashless instrument output device, the cashless instrument being configured, after determination of the game outcome that is not disclosed, to represent the determined game outcome; and

an outcome display device configured to interpret the cashless instrument and display the determined game outcome according to the cashless instrument.
