ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a printing and dispensing bonusing system for electronic gaming devices, particularly a casino gaming device, which includes at least one detection device which is adapted for connection to an electronic apparatus, the detection device operative to detect selected event occurrences on an electronic apparatus and output event occurrence notification signals upon detection of an event. An event detection sampling device is connected in information transmission connection with the detection device, the event detection sampling device operative to detect and receive event occurrence notification signals from the detection devices, analyze the received event occurrence notification signals and output event occurrence information signals including information specifying selected event occurrences. Connected in information transmission connection with the event detection sampling device is an event occurrence information signal computing device which is operative to receive and analyze the event occurrence information signals output by the event detection sampling device and upon detection of selected event occurrence information signals, output command signals for initiating operation of at least one bonus printing and dispensing device connected thereto, independent of a standard output device of the electronic gaming device and operative to accept command signals from the computing device and to print and dispense bonus information and awards resulting from selected combinations being produced by the electronic gaming device whereby an operator/player of the electronic gaming device is awarded selected bonus items and awards.
