A plurality of EGMs are connected within a network. Each of the EGMs is remotely
configurable so as to enable an operator to select any desired parameter of the
game. The configuration of one EGM may be uploaded to the network and programmed
into other EGMs connected to the network. An operator may program the initial EGM
at the EGM itself or remotely. In another embodiment, one EGM (a master) may download
its configuration settings into other EGMs.
