Abstract: A gaming machine comprises a display device that presents a symbol array comprising a plurality of symbol positions divided into a plurality of position subsets and game-logic circuitry that causes the display device to: present the symbol array in a first initial state by presenting at least one static symbol position in each position subset and randomly allocating a first set of allocated symbol positions, generate game cycle outcomes by populating the symbol positions, in response to a trigger event, expand a first position subset to include an expanded symbol position, and present the symbol array transitioning from a final state associated with a reset condition to a second initial state by removing expanded symbol positions and the allocated positions from the symbol positions in the final state and randomly allocating a second set of allocated symbol positions among the position subsets to include with the static symbol positions.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a gaming system with a chip tray positioned above a light-diffusion box. The chip tray has a transparent portion on its underside. A tracking controller illuminates the light-diffusion box with diffused light that shines through a transparent portion on an underside of the chip tray and illuminates the edge of one or more chips in a chip stack. An image sensor captures an image of the one or more chips in response to illumination of the light-diffusion box. The tracking controller analyzes a visible indicator on the edge of the one or more chips. The tracking controller associates the visible indicator with a denomination value for the chip stack. Further, the tracking controller computes a value of the chip stack based on the denomination value and a dimension of at least one of the one or more chips.

Abstract: The inventive concept relates to an AI-based data transmission method for improving security by using a plurality of nodes. The inventive concept selects a plurality of nodes for request and response communication between a client device and a target server as relay nodes, and communicates between the client device and the target server by using the relay nodes.

Abstract: In one example, a gaming system for determining, via image analysis, an outcome value (e.g., a card value) of a randomizing game object (e.g., a playing card) for a game played at a gaming table and also detecting, based on the outcome value and one or more game rules, an occurrence of a winning outcome for the game. The gaming system can further determine, via image analysis, a location at a gaming table surface related to the winning outcome. The gaming system can further, in response to determining the location, render a virtual-scene overlay having an outcome indicator positioned at pixel coordinates that correspond to the location. The gaming system can further project the virtual-scene overlay at the gaming table to cause an image of the outcome indicator to appear at, and in some examples conform to a shape of, the location at the gaming table surface.

Abstract: A cholesteric liquid crystal display providing sensory feedback, comprises a flexible front substrate disposed near a front surface of the display, the flexible front substrate being at least partially flexible. A liquid crystal layer comprises cholesteric liquid crystal material. Pressure applied to the flexible front substrate changes reflectance of the cholesteric liquid crystal material. At least one textured surface is constructed and arranged so that pressure that is applied to the at least one textured surface provides at least one of vibratory, audible and tactile sensory feedback. At least a portion of the changes in reflectance is erased.

Abstract: A gaming system and method operating a virtual world gaming tournament is described. The gaming system includes gaming clients, a virtual world, a tournament session, a live host and a tournament prize. The virtual world has a variety of different locations and each gaming client is located at a location in the virtual world. The tournament session includes predetermined game sessions for each gaming client, in which each game session associates a random game outcome with a symbolic representation that is displayed at the location in the virtual world. When the random game outcome matches a particular point value or pattern, a non-wagering bonus skill-based game session is initiated. The live host identifies locations in the virtual world and provides updates on the points awarded to the gaming clients at those locations. The live host selectively broadcasts a first virtual world or a second virtual world during the tournament session.

Abstract: A system includes a plurality of stationary gaming tables positioned at a plurality of respective locations, a moveable table game device, one or more processors, and a server. Each gaming table includes a table transceiver. The table game device includes a device transceiver that receives data signals including identification data from the table transceivers via a first communication network. The processors determine an identity of the gaming tables based on the identification data, calculate a relative distance between the table game device and each gaming table based on at least one characteristic of a respective data signal, and generate location data indicating a relative location of the gaming device as a function of the calculated relative distances. The server collects the location data via a second communication network and stores the location data for analysis and location tracking.

Abstract: Systems and methods for use in providing a random reward associated with at least one game are disclosed. One exemplary method includes receiving, by a gaming server, data representative of gaming activity of a player of the at least one game, providing, by the gaming server, a code associated with the random reward, wherein the code is representative of an entry to win the random reward, receiving, by the gaming server, data representative of a text message including the code, determining whether the player won the random reward based on the received code, and providing a notification indicating whether the player won the random reward.
