Abstract

A gaming machine that authenticates the gaming software at boot-up or after a reset. A processor in conjunction with the boot memory reads the bits of data and files from a non-volatile memory device via a single read of each bit. The files are each validated while the bits of non-volatile memory data are simultaneously validated. After all the files and the data are validated then the gaming software is authenticated.
