Abstract:
A mobile gaming device may be a player's own personal tablet, 5 smartphone, PDA, etc., with an application program installed via the internet for carrying out a remote gaming session. All gaming functions are carried out by a stationary gaming terminal communicating with the mobile device, such as by using WiFi. The mobile device operates as a user interface. If the communications link is temporarily broken during a game, the mobile device will create the appearance that the game is continuous, such as by continuing to spin reels, until communications are re-established. The reels will stop once the mobile device receives the final outcome from the gaming terminal. The player may pause the game to temporarily suspend the minimum game frequency rules. The mobile device may switch between gaming terminals. For 3D video, the original format is adjusted for the mobile device. The gaming terminal may be a gaming machine.
Abstract:
A computer system for authenticating a wireless device based on localization is provided. The computer system includes a central server or computer network service and a wireless device configured to access a mobile application, the mobile application being coupled with the central server or the computer network service, and when executed accesses functions of the wireless device to collect measurement data related to (i) a first wireless network and (ii) a second wireless network; wherein the mobile application sends the measurement data to the central server or computer network service for analyzing the measurement data to determine a location of the wireless device relative to a defined area, and wherein the central server or computer network service is configured to grant or deny the wireless device access to one or more resources linked to the central server or computer network service, based on the location determined for the wireless device relative to the defined area. A related computer implemented method is provided for authenticating a wireless device to a central server or computer network service based on its location of the wireless device relative to a defined area at the time of a request for one or more resources linked to the central server or computer network service. The computer system may apply smoothing algorithms and implement security mechanisms.
Abstract:
While a player is playing one game on a gaming machine, the systems and methods described herein recommend other games to the player either based on the player's past gaming history, if the player used a player tracking card, or based on real time game play, if the player is anonymous. Upon the player selecting a different game, the system may automatically transfers the player's credits between games or gaming machines. Each gaming machine may carry out one or more game. While a player is playing one game on a gaming machine, the systems and methods described herein recommend other games to the player based on the player's past gaming history, accessed via player registration, and the player's real time game play. Upon the player selecting a different game, the system may automatically transfers the player's credits between games or gaming machines. Each gaming machine may carry out one or more game.

A mobile gaming device may be a player's own personal tablet, 5 smartphone, PDA, etc., with an application program installed via the internet for carrying out a remote gaming session. All gaming functions are carried out by a stationary gaming terminal communicating with the mobile device, such as by using WiFi. The mobile device operates as a user interface. Registration for the mobile device may be via a registration terminal connected in a network with a plurality of gaming terminals. The mobile device may communicate wirelessly with the registration terminal, and the registration terminal then communicates with the played gaming terminal via the network. The mobile device may select to play games offered by any available gaming terminal. The gaming terminals may be gaming machines. The registration terminal may also be a cashing out terminal and print a ticket.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for an online predictive diagnostic and prognostic maintenance system are disclosed. The systems and methods may be configured for use with networked gaming machines. The systems and methods may operate in real time and may detect and analyze data representing various indicators of machine performance or a current or future decrease in machine performance. The data may represent or be used to predict machine performance and risk of failure and to identify necessary or recommended repair, maintenance or other performance issues. In another embodiment systems and methods are disclosed for automated analysis of data regarding machine operation and generation of rules related to predicting the future performance, repair and maintenance needs of machines.
