Abstract: A gaming machine includes a processor and a presentation device coupled to the processor. The processor is programmed to determine that a free play trigger condition is satisfied, and to execute one or more free plays based on the free play trigger condition to create one or more free play outcomes. Each free play outcome is a winning free play outcome or a non-winning free play outcome. The presentation device is configured to present winning free play outcomes when at least one free play outcome is a winning free play outcome. Non-winning free play outcomes are not presented.

Abstract: There is provided a gaming method and system that utilize a presentation assembly configured to present a series of spins of a plurality of reels arranged in an array, the plurality of reels including value-bearing symbols, wherein any value-bearing symbol that lands in an active subset of the array is collected in a collection area. At a conclusion of the series of spins, a payout based on the values of the collected value-bearing symbols is awarded.

Abstract: A projection surface gaming system for projecting video images onto a physical gaming table is described herein. The projection surface gaming system includes a video projection device, an object sensing system, and a controller including a processor. The processor is programmed to execute an algorithm including the steps of projecting a first image on a surface of the physical gaming table using the video projection device, detecting a player's interaction with an area of the physical gaming table displaying the first image using the object sensing system, and projecting a second image on the surface of the gaming table in response to detecting the player's interaction with the area of the first image.

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: Headphones comprising a first earphone having a first driver, a second earphone having a second driver, a headband connecting the first earphone to the second earphone, a cable reel system in the first earphone, and a cable are disclosed.

Abstract: There is provided a gaming system, gaming machine, and method that utilize an electronic display device configured to display a plurality of symbol arrays associated with respective sets of symbol-bearing reels. The arrays may be locked or unlocked. In response to a reel spin that generates a stack of value-bearing symbols in an unlocked array, a locked array is unlocked and the stack is held in its array for a number of subsequent reel spins, Payouts are provided for winning combinations of standard symbols and value-bearing symbols in the unlocked arrays.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and media are provided for the selective indication of the presence of off-screen objects in the shared gaming environment of a multiplayer game played on a mobile device. The shared gaming environment can include a game space and a plurality of objects located at various places of the game space. The player may view a portion of the game space via a screen view presented by the mobile device. The screen view can be bordered by a frame area that includes a portion of the game space that is outside of the screen view. Based on a predetermined rule set, the presence of an object that is located within the frame area can be selectively indicated within the screen view by a visual indicator, such as an icon. The visual indicator can be assembled from a library of elements to visually communicate contextually relevant information to the player.

Abstract: Chip racks include a rack for holding chips and a card reader. Gaming devices may include such chip racks.

Abstract: A gaming machine including a modular cabinet system is described herein. The modular cabinet system includes a cabinet stand assembly, a control unit housing mounted on the cabinet stand assembly, and a display unit support assembly mounted to the control unit housing. The control unit housing defines an interior cavity enclosing a game control unit assembly of the gaming machine. The display unit support assembly includes a primary display support member and a primary bracket assembly slidably coupled to the primary display support member. The primary display support member defines an interior equipment cavity configured to receive the primary bracket assembly therein. The primary bracket assembly is coupled to a primary display unit of the gaming machine to support the primary display unit from the primary display support member and to allow the primary display unit to move with respect to the primary display support member.

Abstract: There is provided a gaming system, gaming machine, and method that utilize a presentation assembly configured to present a plurality of reels, an array, and an indicator. The plurality of reels bear a plurality of symbols. Game-logic circuitry is configured to spin and stop the plurality of reels to land symbols from the plurality of symbols in the array. In response to the landed symbols including one or more catalyst symbols and one or more value-bearing symbols, a multiplier is determined based on a number and locations of the catalyst symbols in the array. The multiplier is displayed in the indicator. An award is provided based on the multiplier applied to values borne by the value-bearing symbols.

Abstract: A chair sled attachment assembly includes a base structure, a support bracket, and a base access panel. The base structure is connected to a gaming machine cabinet in a base position projecting in a front direction from a front side of the cabinet and defines a base volume separate from a secure volume of the cabinet. The base structure also defines a base access opening to provide access to the base volume. The support bracket is located within the base volume adjacent to the base access opening and includes a support bracket connecting arrangement to which a chair sled receiver is connectable in a chair sled receiver operating position. The base access panel is removably secured to the base structure in a cover position substantially covering the base access opening.

Abstract: A gaming system comprises a presentation assembly presenting a plurality of symbol positions and game-logic circuitry configured to cause the presentation assembly to associate, in response to an activation event, a first symbol position with an award region and present a subsequent game outcome by populating the symbol positions with randomly selected symbols. The game-logic circuitry detects whether or not a symbol of a linked symbol group including value-bearing symbols with respective positions within the linked symbol group and award indicia visibly indicating corresponding award values occupies the award region in the subsequent game outcome. The game-logic circuitry causes, in response to detecting a first value-bearing symbol occupying the award region, the presentation assembly to provide an award for the award values of at least one value-bearing symbol within the linked symbol group based on the position of the first value-bearing symbol relative to the positions of other value-bearing symbols.
