Publication number: 20150011309Abstract: A videogame, method, or system incorporates the use of a QR Code which is produced by a central processing unit of a game, and is scanned by the player's or user's mobile communication device such as a smartphone. The smartphone's means for network connection to the internet is then used to communicate the game's data to a server associated with the game. In another embodiment, the player's smartphone, using its network connection to a server via a software application or browser, obtains a QR code containing data from a server to display on the phone's screen, for a camera or scanner of the game to scan, thus transferring the data in the QR code to the game's central processing unit, which parses the data and uses it to unlock game benefits for the player to use on the game.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2014Publication date: January 8, 2015Inventors: Andrew ELOFF, Stephen Jacob HACK, Eugene Peyton JARVIS, Anthony B.

Publication number: 20140313722Abstract: A flexible lighting strip in the form of a T-molding covers a board edge of a video or arcade game cabinet, allowing decorative lighting to be applied to the cabinet. The T-molding includes a flexible casing having a head portion with an upper surface formed of a transparent or translucent plastic material, and a hollow channel formed in the head portion that extends along the casing. The channel accommodates insertion of a flexible lighting strip formed of a flexible printed circuit board substrate with light emitting diodes mounted on the substrate, so emitted light shines through the transparent upper surface of the casing. The casing has an anchor strip for insertion into a groove formed in the cabinet board edge to anchor the casing to the board edge via frictional engagement. A method is provided for applying the lighted T-molding to a video or arcade game cabinet.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2014Publication date: October 23, 2014Applicant: Raw Thrills, Inc.Inventors: Andrew ELOFF, Eugene JARVIS, Robert YOEST

Patent number: 8231457Abstract: A game, and more particularly to an electronic game that simulates trading securities on an exchange. The game is preferably played as a video gaming machine for gambling purposes. A computing device is provided having, among other things, a video screen display on which a line chart is displayed. The computing device also includes a selection device, which provides a means by which the player interacts with the computing device to “buy” or “sell”. The line chart includes a vertical axis that corresponds to the value or price of one or more securities, and a horizontal axis that corresponds to time. A segmented line is plotted on the line chart during a round of play. A random number generator randomly determines the vertical axis value for each point plotted along the segmented line.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2008Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: IGTInventors: Eugene Jarvis, Andrew Eloff

Patent number: 7201654Abstract: This invention relates to a poker game implemented on a video gaming machine wherein the player is provided with an opportunity to place two wagers, a first wager wherein the player bets that each final hand will contain any one of a plurality of preselected card combinations, and a second wager wherein the player bets that one or more of the final hands will contain a specific card combination. During a “round of play,” the player is initially dealt a hand of cards after making the first wager. After reviewing the hand, the player chooses which cards, if any, he or she wishes to “hold” and whether to draw additional cards in an attempt to improve the value of his or her hand.

Publication number: 20070021204Abstract: Systems and methods for projecting indirect lighting from a gaming apparatus are provided. One aspect of the invention utilizes projected light to increase a player's desire to play or continue to play the game. In still yet another aspect of the invention, projected indirect light is utilized to enhance the game play of an amusement device. In one such embodiment, light may be projected from underneath the apparatus of a driving game to simulate the ‘under-body glow’ effect used by car customizers. This has the primary effect of creating the appearance of such a customized car but also provides a substantially differentiated presentation of the game. In still yet a further aspect, light projected from a gaming apparatus increases the perceived space occupied by the game. In one embodiment, a distinctive logo is projected onto the wall above and behind a video game.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2006Publication date: January 25, 2007Applicant: Raw Thrills Inc.Inventors: Andrew Eloff, Matthew Davis, Richmond Catalan
