ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed towards a method and apparatus for a portable gaming machine. The method activates several bingo games that are stored in the portable gaming machine. The activation makes the bingo games available to a bingo player for playing. The bingo player is presented with an option to switch from a first bingo game to a second bingo game while retaining numbers entered by the bingo player in the first bingo game. The method also records every keystroke entered by a bingo player for each game. These keystrokes can be displayed in an expeditious manner to a gaming official upon entering of a password.
