Abstract

The system and method allows a casino operator to manage groups of electronic gaming machines (EGMs) (106A and 106B). Managing new or existing collections (i.e., groups) of gaming devices reduces the effort required to download or configure large numbers of EGMs (106 A and 106B). For example, new soft-ware may be downloaded to groups of EGMs (106 A and 106B) from a central location (104A and 104B), and the EGMs (106 A and 106B) may be configured from the central location (104A and 104B). Accordingly, this operational efficiency reduces maintenance costs and minimizes EGM downtime due to maintenance or EGM set-up.
