Original Abstract Submitted

A gaming device includes a processor circuit and a memory including machine-readable instructions. When executed by the processor circuit, the instructions cause the processor circuit to access a game software package comprising a plurality of configurations of a wagering game. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to determine whether the gaming device is authorized to access a first subset of configurations of the wagering game. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to, based on the determination that the gaming device is authorized to access the first subset of configurations of the wagering game, enable play of the first subset of configurations of the wagering game at the gaming device.
