Abstract: Various embodiments provide management of virtual goods. In some embodiments, a gaming platform can be used to provide a secure ledger system for recording money transfer, play action, bets, analytics, gaming statistics, and the like, which are associated with virtual goods. Non-limiting examples of virtual goods comprise: characters; badges/icons; gameplay attributes; virtual money; cryptocurrencies; tokens; digital gifts; gameplay levels/add-ons; and prizes, among other examples. In some examples, gaming systems can directly interact with the distributed multi-ledger architecture for secure and transparent transactions which can also be accessed by auditors, tax authorities, partners, and/or other entities. Some examples may use private and/or public blockchains as part of the distributed multi-ledger gaming architecture. For instance, multiple distributed network nodes may be utilized to manage transaction records.

Abstract: An advantage player identification and tracking system includes card shoes configured to dispense playing cards and output card information of the dispensed playing cards, cameras positioned to capture image data of one or more players playing a card game, and a computing device communicatively coupled to the card shoes and the cameras. The computing device is configured to receive the card information from the card shoes, track, for a plurality of hands of cards dealt, game play and bets laid by the one or more players playing the card game, determine a card count, analyze, utilizing a machine learning model, the game play and the bets laid by the one or more players and card counts associated with the game play and the bets laid, and predict, utilizing the machine learning model, that a player of the one or more players is an advantage player.

Abstract: A video game test system can determine an objective measure of elapsed time between interaction with a video game controller and the occurrence of a particular event within the video game. This objective measure enables a tester to determine whether a video game is objectively operating slowly or just feels slow to the tester, and may indicate the existence of coding errors that may affect execution speed, but not cause visible errors. The system may obtain the objective measure of elapsed time by simulating a user's interaction with the video game. Further, the system may identify data embedded into a frame of an animation by the video game source code to identify the occurrence of a corresponding event. The system can then measure the elapsed time between the simulated user interaction and the occurrence or triggering of the corresponding event.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling secure automated production and redemption of predetermined games of chance with multiple play venues or dimensions, wherein such systems and methods can provide, for example, lottery games (e.g., instant tickets), charitable gaming (e.g., raffles, pull-tabs), casino environments (e.g., “Class II” gaming), Internet gaming (e.g., poker, online instant tickets), etc.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for enabling an online user to place bets concerning incidents occurring during a game or sports event.
