Abstract: A system includes a communication interface, a processing circuit, and a memory coupled to the processing circuit. The memory includes machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to determine a trigger event corresponding a virtual gaming session that is provided to a user via a first mobile computing device. Based on the trigger event, the processing circuit is further caused to send, to the user via the first mobile computing device, virtual gaming session data that includes session transfer data for transferring the virtual gaming session from the first mobile computing device to a second mobile computing device. The processing circuit is further caused to transfer the virtual gaming session to the second mobile computing device without ending the virtual gaming session.

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 processor circuit receives, from a plurality of eligible players at a plurality of gaming devices, a plurality of number selections from a plurality of available numbers. Each gaming device displays the selected number associated with the respective player during play of a wagering game. In response to an operator of the wagering game initiating a bonus game, a player of the plurality of eligible players is selected to receive a bonus game award. The processor circuit displays an indication at the wagering game of the selected player, the indication associating the selected number associated with the respective player with the bonus game award, and the bonus game award is awarded to the selected player.

Abstract: A processor circuit of a gaming device and/or gaming system determines that a game play condition associated with a wagering game has been met. A wager for the wagering game is received at a gaming device and a game award for the wagering game is determined based on the determination that the game play condition has been met. An initial game result is determined for the wagering game and a replacement game result corresponding to the determined game award is determined for the wagering game independently of the initial game result. A display device of the gaming device displays the replacement game result and awards the game award.

Abstract: A processor circuit of a gaming system determines that a game play condition associated with a primary wagering game has been met. Based on a wager amount of a wager for a primary wagering game and a determination that a game play condition has been met, a secondary wagering game comprising a second paytable is executed. Based on a result of the secondary wagering game indicating a winning result, a secondary game is awarded based on the second paytable, wherein a maximum award of the second paytable does not exceed the wager amount. The primary wagering game is also executed, and, based on a result of the primary wagering game indicating a winning result, award a primary game award based on a first paytable.

Abstract: Various technology for operating an electronic gaming machine (EGM) is disclosed. The EGM may comprise (a) a communication module; (b) a virtual ticket interface converter module; (c) an input device; (d) a payment device; (e) a payout device; (f) a memory device; and (g) a processor executing instructions stored in the memory device. The processor, when executing the instructions stored in the memory device, may intercept communications between the input device, the payment device and the payout device using the virtual ticket interface converter module such that financial transactions between a player and the EGM are routed through a virtual mobile wallet account notwithstanding the virtual ticket interface converter module authenticates the financial transactions with the EGM as if the financial transactions were physically performed using the payment device and the payout device.

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.

Abstract: Based on receipt of a validation request by a transceiver from a mobile device, a determination that a mobile device is authorized to provide remote input to a gaming device is made. A signal strength threshold for the transceiver is modified from a first signal strength threshold associated with a first distance between the transceiver and the mobile device to a second signal strength threshold associated with a second larger distance between the transceiver and the mobile device, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance. Based on receipt of a remote connection request from the mobile device, a determination whether the remote connection request meets the second signal strength threshold is made. In response to determining that the remote connection request meets the second signal strength threshold, the mobile device is allowed to provide remote input instructions to the gaming device.

Abstract: A system configured to manage progressive pools can include 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 system to perform operations. The operations include determining to cease operation of a first progressive game on a first electronic gaming machines (“EGM”). The first progressive game can be associated with a first progressive pool. The operations can further include, allocating a portion of the first progressive pool to a second progressive pool associated with a second progressive game based on a characteristic of the first progressive game and a characteristic of the second progressive game. The operations further include, responsive to determining to cease operation of the first progressive game, transmitting a message to the first EGM, the message including instructions to cease operation of the first progressive game.
