Abstract: A portable sample play device, such as a player tracking card or other player-carried device, allows players or users of a gaming machine to view, and/or participate in, sample or preview play of a game. The portable sample play device can be a smart card that stores all necessary information itself, or a known magnetic stripe card that simply stores rudimentary information. Additionally, such a sample or preview can include many different modes of play. For instance, the gaming machine can display a preview of link progressive play, along with the progressive jackpot. It can also display the special bonus modes of various games, demonstrating to the player various special prizes than can be won. Such preview play can be interactive, allowing player participation, or passive, simply illustrating sample play without allowing user interaction. Preview play can also include full, nominal, zero, or other payouts if so desired.

Abstract: A system and method in a radio telecommunications network for reconnecting an emergency call between a roaming mobile station with an emergency (emergency MS) and a public safety answering point (PSAP) when the call has been disconnected before the call was finished. The network includes a serving mobile switching center (MSC) serving the emergency MS, a border MSC bordering the serving MSC, and a home location register (HLR) that stores features and subscription data for the emergency MS. When the emergency call begins, a hotlining feature for the emergency MS is activated in the HLR which automatically reconnects the emergency MS to the PSAP when the MS accesses the network through a registration or by originating a subsequent call. Inter-exchange messages ensure that the emergency MS is automatically connected to the PSAP, even if the emergency MS accesses the network in the border MSC.

Abstract: A system and method in a radio telecommunications network for reconnecting a disconnected emergency call between a mobile station having an emergency (emergency MS) and a public safety answering point (PSAP). The method reduces the probability that a second MS such as a cloned MS will respond to a reconnection attempt. If a second MS responds to a first reconnection attempt, procedures are implemented to locate and connect the emergency MS. The network includes a serving mobile switching center (MSC) serving the emergency MS that includes a re-paging mechanism and a reconnection timer. The PSAP includes an alarm generator that notifies the serving MSC when a second MS is connected to the PSAP rather than the emergency MS. Upon receiving an alarm from the PSAP, the serving MSC reattempts to page the emergency MS.

Abstract: Novel wager gaming systems, machines, and methods for ensuring that wager game code on a game disc executes on an authorized wager gaming machine are described. To prevent an unauthorized copy of a wager game disc or other storage medium is not able to execute on a gaming machine, the machine checks whether an authorization code has been previously written to the disc. If the disc does not have a code, the gaming machine generates a first segment of an authorization code which is used, along with other data, by a game provider to generate a final authorization code. This is done after the game provider verifies that the machine operator has permission, such as a license, to execute that game code contained on that specific disc. The final authorization code is transmitted to the gaming machine, equipped with a writeable optical disc drive, where it is written or “burned” onto the game disc. At this stage the game disc is tied to or associated with the gaming machine and can execute on that machine.

Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for detecting and/or preventing cheating in online gaming. Some implementations provide gaming information in formats that are difficult for a bot to interpret, but which are preferably easy for humans to interpret. Some implementations of the invention involve the tracking and analysis of players' gaming activities. Some implementations of the invention provide a multi-tier approach to data analysis. Some analyses may be performed, for example, by a centralized computing device such as a server, whereas other analyses may be performed by a host device. In some implementations, “challenge and response” measures will be employed. Some implementations of the invention involve detection and prevention of collaboration between players.
