Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, and systems, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for a method for providing a game on demand over a data network, in a gaming machine. The gaming machine sends a request message for a game application over the data network. In a network mode, the gaming machine receives outputted results from an executed game application over a streaming channel of the data network for network-based game play. During the network-based game play, the game application is downloaded over a download channel of the data network. In a local mode, the gaming machine executes the downloaded game application independent of the network-based game play. The gaming machine switches instantaneously from the network mode to the local mode for machine-based game play, including maintaining a status of the network-based game play.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, and systems, including computer program products, implementing techniques for securing a gaming machine for a player of the gaming machine using a mobile device such as a cell phone associated with the player. A player input requests securing of the gaming machine. Responsive to the player input, an access code and a security code are retrieved. The access code defines an access point of a communication system. The security code is specific to a game play session for the player at the gaming machine. The retrieved access code and security code are provided for the player. When the mobile device accesses the communications system and submits the security code, a secure signal is sent to the gaming machine, instructing the gaming machine to enter a remote game play state. The gaming machine can be released from the remote game play state responsive to a releasing event. In one implementation, a wireless interface enables communication between the mobile device and gaming machine according to a wireless protocol such as Bluetooth.

Abstract: Some implementations of the invention provide methods and devices for various types of adventure sequences that preferably involve, at least in part, wagering games. Such sequences may involve wagering and/or other games at a plurality of gaming devices, tables and/or gaming establishments. Some implementations provide a virtual gaming experience wherein one or more other environments (e.g., environments that include gaming establishments) are simulated at a single location. Accordingly, adventure sequences described herein may comprise stages in one or more virtual environments, stages in one or more real environments or a combination of the two. Virtual players, also referred to herein as player game agents (“PGAs”), may act on behalf of real players. A PGA may be able to play games autonomously, e.g., when the associated player is at a different location and/or is not aware of the PGA's current activities. PGAs may be enabled to negotiate on behalf of real players, e.g., for comps, better pay table percentages, etc.

Abstract translation: 本发明的一些实施方式提供用于各种类型的冒险序列的方法和装置，其优选至少部分地涉及投注游戏。 这样的序列可以涉及在多个游戏设备，桌子和/或游戏场所的投注和/或其他游戏。 一些实施方案提供虚拟游戏体验，其中在单个位置模拟一个或多个其他环境（例如，包括游戏场所的环境）。 因此，本文描述的冒险序列可以包括在一个或多个虚拟环境中的阶段，一个或多个真实环境中的阶段或两者的组合。 这里也称为玩家游戏代理（“PGA”）的虚拟玩家可以代表真实玩家行事。 PGA可能能够自主地玩游戏，例如，当相关联的玩家处于不同的位置和/或不知道PGA的当前活动时。 可以使PGA代表真实玩家进行协商，例如，comps，更好的pay table percent等。

Abstract: The present invention provides a gaming machine that can play both Class II and Class III games. Some implementations provide a gaming machine that has certain features (e.g., a true random number generator or “RNG”) enabled for Class III play and disabled for Class II play. Some aspects of the invention provide methods for determining when a Class III game is available. Other aspects of the invention allow a player to “line up” for a desired Class III game while playing another game, such as a Class II game or another Class III game, on the same gaming machine until the desired Class III game is available. Some such implementations grant higher priority to certain players according to their gaming history, e.g., as indicated by player tracking/player loyalty data. Alternative aspects of the invention allocate available Class III games in other ways, e.g., by playing a Class II game for a chance to play a Class III game, by lottery, or otherwise. Player tracking information may be shared and/or combined for Class II and Class III game play and may be used to determine gaming history.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供一种可以玩II类和III类游戏的游戏机。 一些实施方案提供具有为III类播放启用并且对于II类播放禁用的某些特征（例如，真随机数生成器或“RNG”）的游戏机。 本发明的一些方面提供了用于确定何时可以使用III类游戏的方法。 本发明的其他方面允许玩家在同一游戏机上玩另一游戏（例如II类游戏或另一类III类游戏）时，对所需的III类游戏“排队”，直到所需的III类游戏可用。 一些这样的实现根据其游戏历史给予某些玩家更高的优先级，例如，如玩家跟踪/玩家忠诚度数据所示。 本发明的替代方面以其他方式分配可用的III类游戏，例如通过玩II类游戏机会玩彩票III等级，彩票或其他方式。 玩家跟踪信息可以共享和/或组合用于II类和III类游戏，并可用于确定游戏历史。
