Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to gaming machines, systems, and methods. As an example, a method is disclosed that includes enabling a user to interact with a game of chance via a user interface device of the electronic gaming machine, storing an amount of credit available for the player to play the game of chance in a credit meter, presenting the amount of credit available to the user via the user interface device, providing information from the credit meter to a wireless communication assembly, and transmitting, with the wireless communication assembly, the information from the credit meter to a game management system.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to providing a game of chance within a skills-based video game based on a location of a player of the skills-based video game. While game of chance features are prohibited in skills-based games in many jurisdictions, there is an opportunity for wagering game publishers, who hold licenses for such games as well as the entire server infrastructure of decentralized certified random number generators, associated with decades of experience with designing such games. The opportunity would be in the form of partnerships between video game publishers and wagering game publishers to bring back loot box-like, in-game wagering mechanisms. Generally speaking, this can be accomplished using the systems and services of the video game publishers to support skills-based aspects of the games while using the systems and services of the wagering game publishers to support the game of chance aspects of the game.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to gaming devices, systems, and methods. As an example, a gaming device is disclosed to generate game outcomes based on game instructions applying game rules to user inputs; cause gameplay graphics to be rendered by the user interface in accordance with the game outcomes; receive, from a sensor, information that enables the processor to identify a number of players positioned in proximity of the user interface; dynamically modify the game rules based on the identified number of players being greater than one; generate additional game outcomes based on the game instructions applying the modified game rules to user inputs; and cause additional gameplay graphics to be rendered by the user interface in accordance with the additional game outcomes.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine and methods of operating an electronic gaming machine that provide selectable sound beams. In various embodiments, the electronic gaming machine includes a housing having a front side, a head position tracker supported by the housing, a first speaker array supported by the housing, and a second speaker array supported by the housing. The first speaker array includes a plurality of independently operable first speakers that are positioned at different angles to direct sound beams at different angles relative to the front side of the housing. The second speaker array includes a plurality of independently operable second speakers that are positioned at different angles to direct sound beams at different angles relative to the front side of the housing.
