Supplemental Bonusing System for an Electronic Gaming Device

Abstract

An improved printing and dispensing system for an electronic gaming device has been developed. The apparatus includes a gambling game that generates an outcome event signal and a peripheral device that receives the event signal and generates an output that indicates the outcome of the gambling game. The apparatus includes an interface that isolates the gambling game from the peripheral device so that external communication with the peripheral device cannot influence the gambling game's outcome generation.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A gaming device, comprising:
 a gambling game outcome determination circuit operative to generate an event signal comprising an outcome to a gambling game;   a peripheral device operative to output an indication of the gambling game outcome to a player of the gambling game;   a signal transmission device operative to detect the event signal;   a peripheral device command generator that receives the event signal from the signal transmission device; and   an interface in information transmission connection with the gambling game outcome determination circuit and at least one of the signal transmission device and the peripheral device command generator where the interface isolates an external communication from the gambling game outcome determination circuit whereby the external communication cannot influence the outcome determination circuit's ability to generate an outcome.
