Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a gaming system that includes multiple gaming devices connected in networked relationship. The system includes a parameter repository that stores gaming device parameters for each gaming device. The gaming devices can access and modify the parameters through the network. The invention also provides an authorization device that verifies the identity of a person before granting access to the game parameters. The gaming device parameters can include speaker volume, bill acceptor, status, opening hours, and other properties related to the gaming device. The invention also provides a method for managing gaming device parameters by storing and facilitating access to the parameters from a gaming device.

Problems solved by technology

However, such a dedicated maintenance terminal is expensive for relatively small gaming venues and necessitates a dedicated space at the gaming venue which may not be readily available.
