Abstract: Techniques for simulating real (or live) gaming environments are disclosed. A virtual gaming environment effectively connects a number of people together by connecting a number of computing devices (e.g., personal computers, gaming machines). The virtual gaming environment provides a view of a virtual gaming area (e.g., a virtual gaming table) where a number of individuals (or players) and a person acting as the host are effectively represented. In this virtual gaming area, the players and host can interact with each other via audio and/or video input/output devices. As a result, a live gaming environment where players can see, hear, and converse with each other, as well as a live host (e.g., a dealer) is effectively simulated.
Abstract translation: 公开了用于模拟真实（或现场）游戏环境的技术。 虚拟游戏环境通过连接多个计算设备（例如，个人计算机，游戏机）来将许多人有效地连接在一起。 虚拟游戏环境提供了虚拟游戏区域（例如，虚拟游戏桌）的视图，其中有多个个人（或玩家）和作为主机的人被有效地表示。 在该虚拟游戏区域中，玩家和主机可以经由音频和/或视频输入/输出设备相互交互。 因此，有效地模拟了玩家可以看到，听到和交互的现场游戏环境以及活动主机（例如，经销商）。

Abstract: The present invention provides various modules for use with gaming machines. One such module is configured to receive data from a portable memory device and/or from a network device, e.g., from a game server. In some embodiments, the module includes, or is disposed within, a player tracking unit. Some embodiments of the module include a central processing unit (“CPU”) and a memory device such as a dual-ported random access memory (“DPRAM”). Data, such as software or content, may be downloaded to the module's CPU and written to the module's memory. According to some embodiments, data are written to a DPRAM in the module and simultaneously written from the DPRAM to the gaming machine via a high-speed digital bus. In some implementations, a memory in the module is configured to emulate a memory of the gaming machine. This allows a CPU of the gaming machine to execute software stored in the memory in the module. In alternative implementations, a CPU in the module can execute software stored in the memory in the module.

Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for managing gaming accounts. Some aspects of the invention provide for the cancellation, revocation or consolidation of cashless gaming instruments. For example, if a player has lost a cashless gaming instrument, the player could request that the cashless gaming instrument be cancelled. The request could be made in response to information (such as an activity log, an account statement, etc.) presented by a central network device. The information could be presented on a screen, printed on paper, etc. In order for such a request to be acted upon, it is preferable that the player, the gaming establishment that issued the cashless gaming instrument and the cashless gaming instrument itself be positively identified. Some implementations of the present invention provide for more flexible redemption in a cashless gaming system. Some such implementations allow a player to “cash out,” preferably in a single transaction, after one or more gaming sessions. The gaming sessions may have been conducted at different gaming machines and/or at different casinos. Some implementations allow a player to cash out without a cashless gaming instrument.
Abstract translation: 提供了用于管理游戏帐户的方法和设备。 本发明的一些方面提供取消，撤销或合并无现金游戏乐器。 例如，如果玩家丢失了无现金游戏乐器，玩家可以要求取消无现金游戏乐器。 该请求可以响应于由中央网络设备呈现的信息（诸如活动日志，帐户对帐单等）。 信息可以在屏幕上显示，打印在纸上等。为了执行这样的请求，优选的是玩家，发行无现金游戏乐器的游戏机构和无现金游戏器具本身是正的 确定。 本发明的一些实施方式在无现金游戏系统中提供更灵活的兑换。 一些这样的实现允许玩家在一个或多个游戏会话之后“优先在单个交易中”兑现“。 游戏会话可能已经在不同的游戏机和/或不同的娱乐场进行。 一些实现允许玩家在没有无现金游戏乐器的情况下现金。
