ABSTRACT:
A disclosed gaming machine has a plurality of “gaming peripherals,” each communicating with a master gaming controller via a standard peripheral interface such as the USB (Universal Serial Bus).). For USB compatible communications, characteristics of a USB gaming peripheral class are defined. The USB gaming peripheral class allows features of a USB gaming peripheral in the USB gaming peripheral class to be controlled by a USB host in a manner compatible with USB.
