Abstract: A system configured to monitor a virtual element associated with a virtual gaming environment can include a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory can include machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the system to perform operations. The operations can include determining that an entity interacted with the virtual element within the virtual gaming environment. The operations can further include storing an indication that the entity interacted with the virtual element. The operations can further include generating a report associated with the virtual element and/or the entity based on the indication.

Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit and a memory including machine-readable instructions. When executed by the processor circuit, the instructions cause the processor circuit to identify an item in a field of view of a user wearing a head-mounted display device. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to determine a monetary value associated with the item. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to determine a gaming offer associated with the monetary value. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to cause the head-mounted display device to display the gaming offer, wherein the gaming offer is associated with the item in the field of view of the user.

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: A gaming device includes a processor circuit and a memory including machine-readable instructions. When executed by the processor circuit, the instructions cause the processor circuit to access a game software package comprising a plurality of configurations of a wagering game. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to determine whether the gaming device is authorized to access a first subset of configurations of the wagering game. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to, based on the determination that the gaming device is authorized to access the first subset of configurations of the wagering game, enable play of the first subset of configurations of the wagering game at the gaming device.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine (“EGM”) includes a processor circuit, a port coupled to the processor circuit, and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The port is configured to communicatively couple to a license dongle. The license dongle is configured to store a license associated with a game. The license is usable to allow the game to be played on the EGM. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the EGM to perform operations. The operations include providing an identifier of the license dongle to a separate entity. The operations further include, responsive to providing the identifier of the license dongle, receiving an indicator of the license associated with the game. The operations further include initiating the game on the EGM using the license.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing gaming content that is synchronized with streaming video content are disclosed. A time at which a predetermined portion of streaming video content will be displayed to a user on a display device is determined by a processing device. Based on the determined time, game content that is associated with the predetermined portion of the streaming video content is selected by the processing device. The game content is then displayed to the user on a display device, which may be a different display device that the display device that is displaying the streaming video content, or which may be the same display device. The displayed game content is synchronized with displaying the predetermined portion of the streaming video content.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided. A system includes a communication interface, a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the embodiments. The memory includes machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to receive, via a communication interface, progressive prize data corresponding to multiple progressive wagering games and from multiple electronic gaming machines. The processor circuit may be further caused to generate multiple updated progressive wagering game composite values that each correspond to one of the progressive wagering games. The processor circuit may be further caused to transmit data corresponding to the updated progressive wagering game composite values to the display device that is configured to display each of the updated progressive wagering game composite values.
