Method and apparatus are described which are used to provide enhanced functionality on gaming devices associated with the play of wager-based games. A secondary processor, separate from a game controller on the gaming device, can be used to provide the enhanced functionality. In one embodiment, the secondary processor can be used to control a display interface on a video display, such as a video display used to play a wager-based game on the gaming device. The display interface can be used to purchase items, such as a lottery ticket, under control of the secondary processor. After purchase, the lottery ticket can be dispensed from the gaming device using a printer. After the lottery ticket is dispensed, it can be reinserted into the gaming device and validated. If any winnings are associated with the lottery ticket, it can be credited to the electronic gaming machine.

Abstract

A gaming device includes a processor circuit and a memory including machine-readable instructions that cause the processor circuit to receive a wager and allocate a first portion of the wager to a first progressive pot. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to determine a game result for the wagering game. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to, based on the game result comprising a first game result, allocate a second portion of the wager to a second progressive pot. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to, based on the game result comprising a second game result, award a portion of the first progressive pot to a player of the wagering game. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to, based on the game result comprising a third game result, award a portion of the second progressive pot to the player.
