A mesh communications wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In some embodiments, the operations can include tracking any number of wireless mesh network devices in relation to a wagering boundary so that the system can manage wagering games. In some embodiments, the operation can include incentivizing players to encourage other players to participate in a mesh network, thus increasing the efficiency of the mesh network. In some embodiments, the operations can include coordinating the presentation of wagering game content between mesh enabled devices.

A gaming system for conducting a wagering game includes a wager input device, a display for displaying a randomly selected outcome of a wagering game, and a controller operatively coupled to the display and the wager input device to operate in a plurality of selectable game modes of which a selected one is a current game mode. The display has an array of reel strips. Each of the selectable game modes is respectively associated with a subset of the reel strips of the array. A first game mode of the plurality of selectable game modes has at least one reel strip that differs from at least one reel strip of a second game mode of the plurality of selectable game modes. The second game mode has at least one reel strip that differs from at least one reel strip of the first game mode. The controller is operative to cause the display to selectively conceal all of the reel strips other than that subset of the reel strips associated with the current game mode, for example, by causing movement of a reel window or reel strips with respect to the other, or by adjusting the opacity of one or more controllable-opacity segments.

The invention is a method for use in executing portable virtual machine computer programs under real-time constraints. The invention includes a method for implementing a single abstract virtual machine execution stack with multiple independent stacks in order to improve the efficiency of distinguishing memory pointers from non-pointers. Further, the invention includes a method for rewriting certain of the virtual machine instructions into a new instruction set that more efficiently manipulates the multiple stacks. Additionally, using the multiple-stack technique to identify pointers on the run-time stack, the invention includes a method for performing efficient defragmenting real-time garbage collection using a mostly stationary technique. The invention also includes a method for efficiently mixing a combination of byte-code, native, and JIT-translated methods in the implementation of a particular task, where byte-code methods are represented in the instruction set of the virtual machine, native methods are written in a language like C and represented by native machine code, and JIT-translated methods result from automatic translation of byte-code methods into the native machine code of the host machine. Also included in the invention is a method to implement a real-time task dispatcher that supports arbitrary numbers of real-time task priorities given an underlying real-time operating system that supports at least three task priority levels. Finally, the invention includes a method to analyze and preconfigure virtual memory programs so that they can be stored in ROM memory prior to program.
