  • Publication number: 20240087413
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides gaming systems. An example gaming system can receive a side wager corresponding to a play of a card game. The gaming system can then provide a plurality of hands for the play of the card game. The gaming system can determine the number of the plurality of hands that satisfy a side wager condition, and calculate a first award amount based on the number of the plurality of hands that satisfy the side wager condition. An account of the player can be credited based on the first award amount. The gaming system can receive wagers that each correspond to a respective hand of the card game. Upon completion of the game, the system can determine an award amount for each of the plurality of hands, and adjust a credit balance of an account based on the award amount for each of the plurality of hands.

  • Publication number: 20230298436
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing bonus games based on positive and negative bonus accumulators are disclosed. The gaming system can generate, responsive to receiving an indication to begin a play of a game, a grid of symbols. Each symbol can have an attribute corresponding to one or more of a positive bonus value, a negative bonus value, and a credit value. The gaming system can calculate a positive accumulator value, a negative accumulator value, and a credit accumulator value based on the attribute. The gaming system can detect a condition to initiate a bonus game, and execute the bonus game based on the positive accumulator value and the negative accumulator value. The gaming system can adjust, responsive to executing the bonus game, a credit balance based on an outcome of the bonus game and the credit accumulator value.

  • Publication number: 20220301393
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides gaming systems having one or more processors coupled to memory. The gaming system can receive an indication of a wager on a play of a game. The gaming system can decrease a credit balance based on the wager. The gaming system can determine a first number as a target value and a second number as a modifier. The gaming system can determine an initial award amount based on the wager and a result of the play independent of the first number. The gaming system can determine that a game event of the play satisfies a bonus award condition based on the first number. The gaming system can compute a bonus award based on the second number and the initial award amount. The gaming system can cause the credit balance to increase based on the computed bonus award and the initial award amount.

  • Publication number: 20060106655
    Abstract: A method for coordinating outbound and inbound itineraries for a plurality of travelers is provided. Such a method comprises receiving a destination location, a plurality of origin locations, and travel information, wherein each origin location is associated with at least one traveler. A set of suggested outbound and inbound itineraries between each origin location and the destination location is then determined, based upon the travel information, from a travel database comprising at least outbound and inbound itineraries between the origin locations and the destination location, wherein each suggested outbound and inbound itinerary comprises an arrival time and a departure time with respect to the destination location, and the set of suggested outbound and inbound itineraries collectively provides an optimal time together of the travelers at the destination location. Associated systems and methods are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20060106654
    Abstract: The methods and systems for coordinating the travel itineraries of multiple travelers, who are leaving from more than one origin location, but are arriving at the same destination location, provide automated techniques for determining which itineraries for each traveler best meets the specified criteria for the trip. For example, a travel organizer may specify certain travel criteria for a trip, such as the relative importance of the travel schedules versus the price. A set of suggested travel itineraries that most closely meet the specified criteria are then provided, in addition to the amount of time between when any two travelers arrive at and/or leave from the destination location, and the price. Furthermore, the travel coordination techniques provide flexibility by allowing replacement of one or more of the suggested itineraries with other possible itineraries and recalculation of the time amounts and the price(s).

  • Publication number: 20030225600
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with certain principles related to the present invention determine an impact of schedule changes on passenger flow and re-accommodate disrupted passengers. A passenger flow re-accommodation process is performed that determines a value for a disrupted passenger based on selected criteria and rules that may be established by travel service providers. The value and available travel service information are used by the process to rebook the disrupted passenger on a selected alternative itinerary. A notification of a successful rebooking may be provided to the disrupted passenger and/or the travel service provider.
