Abstract: A computer-implemented method including providing a wager-based electronic gaming device (EGD), the EGD having at least one processor, memory, a display, an input interface, the method including: establishing an account balance using the received money; displaying a game environment of a wager-based game comprising a plurality of stages; enabling, for the gaming session, game play and wagers in a current stage of the plurality of stages of the wager-based game; determining game play such that when the game play is less quick than the predetermined pace, changing at least one of a Return-To-Player (RTP) of the wager-based game and a bonus for the current stage; and when the game play is quicker than the predetermined pace, maintaining unchanged or increasing at least one of the Return-To-Player (RTP) of the wager-based game and the bonus for the current stage.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method may comprise providing a wager-based electronic gaming device (EGD), the EGD comprising at least one processor, memory, a display, an input interface and a money acceptor, the at least one processor being configured to execute computer-readable instructions stored in the memory for at least accepting money from a player via the money acceptor and establishing an account balance using the received money; displaying, on the display, a game environment configured to enable the player to participate, via the input interface, in a gaming session of a wager-based game and enabling, for the gaming session, game play and wagers. During game play, a loot box may be awarded at a time t1, and may be configured to award a monetary value to the player according to at least a generated random number and a selected pay table. Continued game play and wagers may be enabled after awarding the loot box.

Abstract: Various aspects described for implementing tournament hybrid arcade/wager-based gaming techniques via computer networks, including one or more casino gaming networks. The tournament hybrid arcade/wager-based game may include a non-wager based gaming portion and a wager-based gaming portion. One or more players are able to concurrently engage in continuous game play of the non-wager based gaming portion during execution of wager-based gaming events which are automatically triggered based on events which occur during play of the non-wager based gaming portion. Payouts for a given wager-based game event outcome may include both monetary payouts and/or non-monetary payouts.

Abstract: A method of determining rewards due to a player playing a regulated gaming machine may comprise providing a game configured such that a plurality of games assets within the game are configured as a corresponding plurality of Wagering Opportunities, the game being further configured to have an overall minimum return to player (RTP) and an overall maximum RTP.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of operating a computing device, comprises enabling a player to play a wager-based game, the wager-based game being configured to present a plurality of wagering opportunities on a display, each of which being configured such that a player interaction therewith via a player interface generates a wager whose outcome is determined by a random process. First player interactions with at least some of the plurality of wagering opportunities may be received and corresponding wagers generated. Second player interactions with in-game items not associated with wagers may be received, the in-game items not associated with wagers having no present value to the player but having respective future potential values. During game play, it may be determined whether one or more predetermined in-game conditions are satisfied.

Abstract: Various aspects described for implementing hybrid arcade/wager-based gaming techniques via computer networks, including one or more casino gaming networks. The hybrid arcade/wager-based game may include a non-wager based gaming portion and a wager-based gaming portion. One or more players are able to concurrently engage in continuous game play of the non-wager based gaming portion during execution of wager-based gaming events which are automatically triggered based on events which occur during play of the non-wager based gaming portion. In some embodiments, the outcomes of the wager-based gaming events are predetermined (before triggering of the wager-based game events) using a random number generator (RNG).

Abstract: Various aspects described here are directed to dynamically configurable, electronic wager-based gaming devices supporting skill-affected payout configurations and chance-based payout configurations of skill-based, wager-based game titles.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method may comprise providing a wager-based electronic gaming device (EGD) comprising at least one processor, memory, a display, an input interface and a money acceptor. The EGD may be configured to accept money from a player via the money acceptor and establish an account balance using the received money; display a game environment configured to enable the player to participate, via the input interface, in a gaming session of a wager-based game comprising a plurality of stages, and enable, for the gaming session, game play and wagers in a current stage of the plurality of stages of the wager-based game. It may then be determined that game play in the current stage has reached a current stage complete state in which all requirements necessary for transitioning game play from the current stage to a next or other stage of the plurality of stages have been met.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method may comprise providing, retrieving or otherwise accessing an electronic game in which skilled players most often achieve greater success than less-skilled players. The game may be configured to generate in-game assets configured such that interaction therewith by players during game play selectively triggers wagers. Before the player inputs are used to interact with the in-game assets, random perturbations are introduced in one or more characteristics thereof, the random perturbations being configured such that the selectively triggered wagers, in the aggregate, reward both the skilled players and the less-skilled players according to a predetermined target Return-to-Player (RTP) percentage for the game. The randomly-perturbed player inputs may then be used to interact with the plurality of in-game assets to generate outcomes.
