ABSTRACT
Despite gambling be forbidden in Brazil since 1941, the growing access to computer equipment brings a new kind of slot machines that, instead of using a specific hardware group, has its environment simulated by a computer program and is built with common and obsolete hardware items. Due to the uncertainty about internal behavior of the management programs that controls these equipments, the forensic exams have not been as conclusive whether they offer properties to allow player influence on final result. Using reverse engineering techniques, this study presents a set of evidences about gambling and frauds in the "Halloween" machines applications. Furthermore, in order to instruct future analyses on machines of different class, here is shown the methodology used to obtaining the necessary information by forensic exam, that could be adapted to other situations involving same kind of applications not covered in this study.
