Patent number: 9558619Abstract: A mobile gaming device may be a player's own personal tablet, 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 may be adjusted for the mobile device. The gaming terminal may be a gaming machine.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2013Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: IGT Canada Solutions ULCInventors: David Froy, Peter Babin, Bharat Gadher, Fayez Idris, Dragan Pleskonjic, Peter Post, Andrew McIntyre

Patent number: 9295908Abstract: A mobile gaming device may be a player's own personal tablet, 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 or other wireless protocol. The mobile device operates as a user interface. While the player is playing one game on the mobile device, the venue's system recommends other games to the player via the player's tablet 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 automatically transfers communications to a different gaming terminal and transfers the player's credits. The gaming terminals may be gaming machines, where each gaming machine carries out a different game.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: IGT CANADA SOLUTIONS ULCInventors: David Froy, Peter Babin, Bharat Gadher, Fayez Idris, Dragan Pleskonjic, Peter Post, Andrew McIntyre
