Abstract
Download distribution points are geographically distributed throughout the at least one casino property and a download and configuration management server determines relatively optimal download distribution points for downloading to gaming machines and points the gaming machines to the optimal download distribution point. Optimization may be based on one or more of geographic location, network location, availability, connection speed, and/or availability of a given package of gaming machines instructions at the download distribution point. A map, directory or library may be maintained indicative of where specific packages of gaming machine instructions reside.
