The invention relates to a device for controlling the operation of at least one physical gaming machine (1), which comprises at least one digital camera (13) for taking images (5') of a physical viewing display (5) of the gaming machine (1), and telecommunication means (4, 9) for real-time transmission of the images (5') to a remote user terminal (10) comprising a gaming interface (11) for the live and continuous display of the images (5') on a screen (10a). The device also comprises remote selecting means (7a', 7b', 7c', 7d'), analogous to physical selector means (7a, 7b, 7c, 7d) of the gaming machine (1), which allow a remote player to select remote commands relating to the game and which are transmitted by means of a remote server (3) to a control module (12) connected to a control logic (2) of the gaming machine (1) to automatically block the remote commands when the gaming machine (1) is activated by an on-site player (6), and to block in the gaming machine, on-site selection commands, subscription processing means (2c) and payment processing means (2b) and activate at least the selection process module (3a) in remote-gaming mode, when the gaming machine (1) is activated by the remote player.
