Abstract
A blockchain system for facilitating preparation and installation of electronic gaming devices using a blockchain network is provided. The blockchain system includes an electronic gaming machine (EGM). The EGM includes a memory, a network interface, and at least one processor. The processor is configured to execute the operating system and the blockchain client, initiate a software installation on the EGM of a software component after the EGM has been delivered to an operational venue, including transmitting a software request transaction into the blockchain network for addition to the blockchain, identify a software permission blockchain transaction from the blockchain authorizing the installation of the software component on the EGM, download the software component from a cloud server of a regulated cloud storing certified software images of software components for EGMs in the blockchain network, and install the software component on the EGM.
