  • Publication number: 20210241566
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided. A gaming device comprises an input device comprising a pressure sensor to detect an amount of pressure applied to the input device by a player of the gaming device, a processor circuit, and a memory comprising machine-readable instructions. Based on the instructions, the processor circuit receives pressure parameter values from the input device, and accesses an emotional state model comprising a plurality of emotional state correlations between a second plurality of pressure parameter values and emotional state data associated with a plurality of emotional states. The processor circuit determines, based on the first plurality of pressure parameter values and the plurality of emotional state correlations, an emotional state of the player, and, based on the emotional state of the player, modifies a user interface element of the gaming device.

  • Publication number: 20210192884
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for artificial intelligence implementation of providing game recommendations at a gaming device may include receive a plurality of first graphical interface elements of a first wagering game. An artificial-intelligence predictive model may generate a plurality of correlations between the plurality of first graphical interface elements and player data associated with a plurality of second graphical interface elements. Based on the plurality of correlations, one or more recommendation score values are generated for the plurality of first graphical interface elements, which may be used to recommend games to a player, to modify user interface elements of existing games, and/or to create new games based on the recommendation score values.

  • Publication number: 20210049860
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes providing a real-time environmental model of a shared virtual environment (SVE) that includes a plurality of virtual players. Display data corresponding to the SVE is transmitted to each player device. The data includes user display data that causes a display in the player device to render a portion of the SVE based on a virtual orientation of the player device and a virtual location of the virtual player in the SVE. Sensory feedback data is then transmitted to the plurality of VR devices that causes each VR device to provide a sensory indication associated with the SVE to the respective player. The sensory indication is indicative of a benefit that will be provided to a subset of the plurality of players at a predetermined future time. At the predetermined future time, the benefit is then provided to the subset of the plurality of players.

  • Publication number: 20210005055
    Abstract: A wagering game operates according to a set of game rules including game flow rules that define a sequence of game events that are presented to a player in a course of operation of the wagering game, a math engine that governs probabilities of pseudorandom events that can occur in the course of operation of the wagering game, and a pay table that defines winning events that can occur in the course of operation of the wagering game and corresponding payouts that are made to the player upon occurrence of the wining events. The method determines a player game play preference of the player associated with playing the wagering game on the EGM, and adjusts the game flow rules in response to the determined player game play preference.
