摘要： A ranking determination system is provided which can make all the game participants ranking-conscious and eager to play again, even if it is a widely popular game played by a large number of people. In the system wherein results of a game played in multiple game machines are collected through a communication network for ranking purposes, the ranking chart has several levels, each level consisting of one or more groups having a preset number of teams, each team being allocated a region for storing one or more sets of player information. The system is configured such that respective teams of players are ranked based on the game results of their member players.

摘要： A system (100) configured to facilitate ordering of goods or services from a vendor (150) by a customer may include one or more base stations (130) configured to receive an abbreviated dialing sequence that corresponds to an order from a mobile terminal used by the customer. A processing center (140) may be coupled between the one or more base stations (130) and vendor (150) and may be configured to receive the abbreviated dialing sequence. Processing center (140) may also transmit customer information that relates to the order to vendor (150), and may bill the customer's wireless account for a monetary amount of the order.

摘要： A disclosed gaming machine is designed to execute a modular gaming software architecture. A plurality of gaming software modules may be loaded into RAM on the gaming machine and executed to play a game of chance. Many of the gaming software modules are designed to communicate via application program interfaces so that the logic in many of the gaming software modules may be designed independently of each other. In particular, the modular gaming software architecture allows presentation state logic to be decoupled from implementations of presentation components, such as graphical, audio and gaming device components, used in a presentation of the game of chance on a gaming machine.

摘要翻译： 所公开的游戏机被设计为执行模块化游戏软件架构。 多个游戏软件模块可以被加载到游戏机上的RAM中并被执行来玩一个机会游戏。 许多游戏软件模块被设计成通过应用程序接口进行通信，使得许多游戏软件模块中的逻辑可以彼此独立地设计。 特别地，模块化游戏软件架构允许呈现状态逻辑与诸如图形，音频和游戏设备组件的演示组件的实现分离，所述演示组件用于游戏机上的机会游戏的呈现。

摘要： The present invention provides a gaming device, wherein the game requires the same average investment from a player to win an award, including a jackpot award, regardless of the amount that the player bets at any one time. The award can be unchanging, e.g., $10,000, each time a player plays the gaming device. The award can also vary such as with a progressive jackpot, i.e., the jackpot builds until a player “hits” the jackpot. The game enables the average investment necessary to win the jackpot to be uniform by varying the odds of winning the jackpot as the player's bet varies. That is, a player betting less money needs to play the game more times, on average, to win the jackpot. Likewise, a player betting more money needs to play the game less times, on average, to win the jackpot. The average overall bet or investment thus remains constant despite the player's betting habits or betting ability.

摘要翻译： 本发明提供了一种游戏装置，其中游戏需要与玩家相同的平均投资以赢得奖励，包括大奖奖励，无论玩家在任何时间投注的金额如何。 奖励可以是不变的，例如，每当玩家玩游戏设备时，$ 10,000。 该奖励也可以变化，例如累积累积奖金，即累积奖金建立直到玩家“击中”大奖。 该游戏使得通过改变玩家下注变化的赢得大奖的几率，使得获得大奖的平均投资是统一的。 也就是说，玩家投注较少的钱需要更多次玩游戏，平均来说，赢得大奖。 同样，一个投注更多钱的玩家需要平均玩较少的时间来赢得大奖。 尽管玩家的投注习惯或投注能力，平均总赌注或投资仍然保持不变。

摘要： Embodiments of the invention are directed to networked gaming devices that can keep particularized records for identified players. A server can store records of player's present and past actions on the gaming network and can communicate with the gaming device using messaging. In some embodiments, status of games or awards can be stored from one gaming session to another, which allows a player to resume a previously started game or award at a later time. Some games include rewards that are collected over time that can be redeemed for personalized rewards.

摘要： A gaming server periodically receives location information from a plurality of distributed gaming devices. Such devices can take the form of cellular telephones or other wireless communications devices equipped with a GPS transceiver. When the gaming server determines that a gaming device is within a predetermined range of another gaming device, it sends an authorization message such as an “in-range” message to one or both of the devices within range of each other. The users of the device(s) receiving the in-range message are then authorized to “shoot” the other user, e.g., by taking a picture of them, pointing a laser at them or other gaming action that may be specified by the rules of the game. The gaming action could also be initiating a game.

摘要： A system, method and lottery ticket that implement a lottery game that uses a geometric figure having a plurality of selection spaces from which a player selects at least one selection space. The selection spaces are then populated with one or more game indicia, with each game indicia having a point value, and prizes are awarded based upon the total number of points associated with the game indicia populated into the player-selected selection spaces. Other lottery games can also be played simultaneously therewith on the same ticket or round of play.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a gaming machine and a method of playing a wagering game having a basic set of rules for playing a wagering game. Under the basic set of rules, a player can accumulate and save assets that are associated with the wagering game. In addition to the basic set of rules, the wagering game includes modifiers to the basic set of rules that modify the assets, enhance the assets or provide new assets. These modifiers may, for example, multiply an award associated with an asset or group of assets, provide additional rolls of the dice, provide a bonus award, provide additional player selections, allow the player to continue game play after a game-terminating event has occurred, allow the player to use assets at a later gaming session, or allow a player to access new assets at a different gaming machine. The assets and modifiers can be shared by players at different gaming machines to influence the outcome of the wagering games and can be saved for use in subsequent gaming sessions.
