Abstract: Based on receipt of a validation request by a transceiver from a mobile device, a determination that a mobile device is authorized to provide remote input to a gaming device is made. A signal strength threshold for the transceiver is modified from a first signal strength threshold associated with a first distance between the transceiver and the mobile device to a second signal strength threshold associated with a second larger distance between the transceiver and the mobile device, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance. Based on receipt of a remote connection request from the mobile device, a determination whether the remote connection request meets the second signal strength threshold is made. In response to determining that the remote connection request meets the second signal strength threshold, the mobile device is allowed to provide remote input instructions to the gaming device.

Abstract: A processor circuit provides a real-time environmental model of a shared virtual environment (SVE) comprising a plurality of virtual persons in a virtual gaming environment. Display data corresponding to the SVE to a first player device worn by a first player is transmitted, including user display data that causes a display device in the first player device to render a portion of the SVE from a point of view (POV) of the first player based on a virtual orientation of the first player device and a virtual location of the first player in the SVE. Based on a determined player status of the second player, a sensory interactivity parameter of the second player is modified to modify at least one of a visibility, an audibility, and a tangibility a second player avatar associated with the second player in the SVE in the POV of the first player.

Abstract: A system includes a communication interface, a processing circuit, and a memory coupled to the processing circuit. The memory includes machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to receive participant motion data and event data that corresponds to a defined occurrence in a sporting event that is predicted to happen during the sporting event. The processing circuit is further caused to send an event wagering opportunity corresponding to the defined occurrence in the sporting event and receive, before the defined occurrence in the sporting event, predicted motion data and a wagering amount that corresponds to the event wagering opportunity before the defined occurrence in the sporting event. The processing circuit is further caused to determine an award level that is based on comparing the predicted motion data and an actual outcome of the defined occurrence of the sporting event.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine (“EGM”) can include a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory can include machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the EGM to perform operations. The operations can include determining a position of a selector relative to a button while the button is in an inactive state. The operations can further include adjusting operation of the EGM based on the position of the selector relative to the button while the button is in the inactive state.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A system configured to manage progressive pools can include a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the system to perform operations. The operations include determining to cease operation of a first progressive game on a first electronic gaming machines (“EGM”). The first progressive game can be associated with a first progressive pool. The operations can further include, allocating a portion of the first progressive pool to a second progressive pool associated with a second progressive game based on a characteristic of the first progressive game and a characteristic of the second progressive game. The operations further include, responsive to determining to cease operation of the first progressive game, transmitting a message to the first EGM, the message including instructions to cease operation of the first progressive game.

Abstract: A primary game having a plurality of outcomes is provided to a first player of a first gaming device. In response to one of the plurality of outcomes, a first game asset for a secondary game is provided to the first player. The secondary game includes a contest between the first player having the first game asset and a second player having a second game asset, and an outcome of the contest of the secondary game is based at least in part on comparing a first asset value of the first game asset and a second asset value of the second game asset. In some examples, the secondary game may be a fantasy sports game, a deck building card game, or a scavenger hunt game, in which some or all of the assets are obtained via the primary game(s).

Abstract: Provided are systems for providing ticket and cashless discount offers. As system includes a processor circuit that receives, from a player, a request for a cashout that corresponds to a cash balance held by the player at the end of a gaming session. A cashout bonus status that corresponds to the player and to the gaming session is determined. A bonus portion that is based on the cashout bonus status and the cash balance is determined. The system transmits an offer message to the player. The offer message includes an offer to allocate the bonus portion and the cash balance to be spent with a predefined vendor that is associated with a game provider. If the player accepts the offer, the bonus portion and at least a portion of the cash balance are transferred to an account that is associated with the player and the predefined vendor.
