    摘要: A listening device is operatively connected to a plurality of EGMs, and is configured to subscribe to one or more EGM data types. The listening device receives, over a first network, data from at least one of the plurality of EGMs in accordance with the subscription, wherein the listening device is configured to receive data comporting to a plurality of data protocols. The listening device also generates a data package comprising a data structure having a static portion and a dynamic portion, wherein the static portion comprises the configuration information corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of EGMs, and wherein the dynamic portion comprises the received data, and transmits the data package across a second network to a collection server.

    摘要: A listening device is operatively connected to multiple network devices, and is configured to subscribe to one or more EGM data types, and receive first data from a first network device in accordance with the subscription. The listening device is also configured to generate a first data package in a form of a first data structure comprising the first data and configuration information related to the first network device, and transmit the data package across a second network to a collection server. The listening device is also configured to receive second data from a second network device in accordance with the subscription, wherein the second data comports with a second protocol that differs from the SAS protocol, and generate a second data package in the form of the first data structure comprising the second data and configuration information related to the second network device.

    摘要: The innovations herein concern flexible and omnichannel unified jackpot awarding systems. In particular, a hosted gaming service may provide a unified jackpot awarding system that is compatible and combinable with a variety of different gaming ecosystems, such as land-based gaming environments and online or “iGaming” environments. Specifically, the unified jackpot system may include a gaming device identifier (GID), a contributor identifier (CID), and/or a contributor type property to aid in the identifying and tracking of jackpots awarded, e.g., to multiple players playing on multiple devices and in multiple games across land-based and/or online gaming environments. Each player and device may be linked with their own gameplay session (e.g., via the use of QR codes, digital wallets, biometric information, or the like). With this linkage established, the unified jackpot system can track, monitor, and award jackpots to players using different types of gaming devices across different gaming ecosystems and/or different games.

    摘要: Innovations in game design features of an electronic gaming device are presented. A progressive jackpot is associated with an escrow. At least a portion of the escrow can be applied to a reset amount for the progressive jackpot. The amount of escrow applied to the reset amount can vary, such as based on a current escrow value. The progressive jackpot can be associated with an increment rate and an escrow rate. The increment rate or the escrow rate may vary based on one or more parameters, including one or more game parameters. Game parameters can include game output parameters, such as a coin out amount, a number of games played, a handpay amount, or a number of players actively engaged in game play with a particular progressive jackpot. Changes in how escrow is applied, or how increment or escrow rates are determined, can be based on time periods or events.
