Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus and systems, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for authenticating data for playing a game of chance on a gaming machine. A motherboard is provided in the gaming machine. A peripheral component is in communication with the motherboard over a bus. The peripheral component has access to authentication code in a memory. An authentication instruction message is received over the bus. Responsive to receiving the authentication instruction message, the authentication code is executed on a processor to perform an authentication process on the data. A signal is output, indicating whether the authentication process is successful in authenticating the data. In one implementation, the signal enables play of the game of chance on the gaming machine when the authentication process is successful, and disables play of the game of chance when the authentication process is unsuccessful

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to electronic playing cards, each of the playing cards comprising opposing first and second planar playing card surfaces such that, when being viewed by the corresponding player, the first planar playing card surface faces the other players and the second planar playing card surface faces the corresponding player. The first and/or second planar playing card surface can comprise a digital display. A gaming system can assign an electronic playing card to each player in a card game and determine and provide to each of the electronic playing cards an assigned playing card parameter (e.g., card suit and rank) for depiction by a digital display of the respective playing card.

Abstract: A first transceiver of a gaming device receives a validation request from a mobile device. The gaming device determines that the mobile device is authorized to provide remote input to the gaming device and provides a token to the mobile device. A signal strength threshold for a second transceiver of the gaming device is modified from a first signal strength threshold associated with a first distance between the second transceiver and the mobile device to a second signal strength threshold associated with a second distance greater than the first distance. The second transceiver receives a remote connection request from the mobile device. In response to determining that the remote connection request meets the second signal strength threshold and that the remote connection request comprises the token, the gaming device allows the mobile device to provide remote input instructions to the gaming device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a lottery gaming system and method that determine that a selected user is associated with a lottery game entry in a lottery game having a winning lottery amount, receive an input of the selected user from a secondary game different from the lottery game, and, in response to receiving the input, determine an outcome modifier that adjusts a user share of the winning lottery amount. The present disclosure further relates to a gaming device that interacts with the lottery gaming system.
