Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided. A device may include a gesture input device to detect gesture inputs performed by a user, 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 processor circuit to receive a first gesture input value from the first gesture input device and that corresponds to a user-specific gesture that the user performs, associate the first gesture input value with a first gaming device operation to be performed by the gaming device, receive the first gesture input value that is associated with the first gaming device operation, and responsive to receiving the first gesture input value that is associated with the first gaming device operation, cause the gaming device to perform the first gaming device operation.

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: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for providing reel-spin game enhancement features. A player enrolled with a subscription service server is presented with an opportunity to enhance game features associated with a gaming device after a result of a game played on the gaming device is determined. The gaming device determines that only when the result of the game played corresponds to a predetermined outcome, a respin option becomes available for the player. This option is rendered as an offer for the player to activate a game enhancement feature for a respin during a subsequent play of the reel-spin game. The game enhancement features include holding or locking a symbol in the reels of the reel-spin game, adding a score multiplier, or adding a modified symbol to a particular position or reel, during the respin of the subsequent play of the reel-spin game.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a gaming system, device, and method supportive of a self-evolving, AI-based playstyle models. A gaming system, device, and method are provided that identify data associated with a gameplay session at a gaming device, provide the data to a machine learning network; receive an output from the machine learning network in response to the machine learning network processing the data using a playstyle model, the output including an indication associated with modifying the playstyle model; and modify the playstyle model based on the indication. The data includes at least one of: a gameplay decision received during the gameplay session; and an emotional state of a user in association with the gameplay decision.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a system and method for substituting images, graphics, video, and other content presented by an Electronic Gaming Machine (EGM during execution of an electronic game. Embodiments can include a mobile application which can be used in the casino environment, for example, and through which players of electronic games may choose different game content either out of a pre-defined set of content that can be updated and/or supplemented over time or by uploading their own such as photographs, icons, graphics, etc.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to gaming systems, computational devices, and methods. An illustrative method includes receiving a code request message from a computational device, where the code request message includes information describing a code requestor and a code parameter defined by the code requestor. The method may further include determining that the requestor is permitted to receive the shareable code with the code parameter defined by the code requestor, generating the shareable code, storing an electronic record indicating that the shareable code has been generated, where the electronic record includes an identifier of the shareable code and an identifier of the code requestor, and transmitting a code delivery message to the computational device, where the code delivery message includes the shareable code.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to enforcing responsible gaming, especially on the occurrence of near misses, by selectively modifying an appearance of an outcome of an electronic game to avoid triggering possible problem behaviors. Near misses, such as when two reels of a three-reel slots game have winning symbols stopping on a pay line but the third reel has a winning symbol stopping adjacent to or near the pay line, can trigger players and cause a change in their behavior. Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to detecting problem gamblers at playtime and assessing a risk factor on each random miss before it is visualized to the player. If the near miss is assessed to be potentially triggering, it can be disguised as a total miss.
