Abstract: A gaming system compatible with patron-controlled portable electronic devices, such as smart phones or tablet computers, is described. The gaming system can include electronic gaming machines that are compatible to receive both virtual ticket vouchers and printed ticket vouchers that are redeemable for credits on the electronic gaming machines. Information associated with a virtual ticket voucher can be stored on a patron-controlled portable electronic device and then can be wireless transmitted to the electronic gaming machines. The electronic gaming machines can be configured to issue virtual ticket vouchers and printed ticket vouchers that can be redeemed for cash or additional game play on another electronic gaming machine. In one embodiment, the electronic gaming machine can be configured to issue a virtual ticket voucher to a patron-controlled portable electronic device.

Abstract: A system includes a communication interface, a processing circuit and a memory coupled to the processing circuit. The memory includes machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to receive immersion data that corresponds to mixed reality features that are available in a casino environment. The processing circuit is further caused to determine a mixed reality mode based on the immersion data and send, to a customer device and from a mixed reality server, immersion data that corresponds to a selection of virtual reality (VR), and/or augmented reality (AR) features that correspond to the mixed reality mode.

Abstract: An electronic die includes a plurality of faces, each face of the plurality of faces including a display device, an inertial measurement device, a processor circuit, and a memory including machine-readable instructions. When executed by the processor circuit, the instructions cause the processor circuit to receive a movement signal from the inertial measurement device indicative of a die-shake movement of the electronic die. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to, in response to the movement signal, cause the display device of each face of the plurality of faces to display a graphical symbol.
Abstract: Systems and methods that employ a cloud-based central determination server to provide predetermined game outcomes displayed at a game presentation device operating with a remote game server and a balance management server in association with funds transacted at a point-of-sale terminal.
Abstract: A plurality of cryptographic tokens are determined, each including a common identifier indicative of the cryptographic token being part of the plurality of cryptographic tokens, and a player identifier indicative of a player associated with the cryptographic token. It is determined whether a first player associated with a first cryptographic token of the plurality of cryptographic tokens is in a first active play session of a first wagering game at a first gaming device, and whether a second player associated with a second cryptographic token of the plurality of cryptographic tokens is in a second active play session of a second wagering game at a second gaming device. Based on a determination that the first player is in the first active play session and that the second player is in the second active play session, a first game benefit is provided to the first player in the first active play session.

Abstract: A gaming system including a housing and a reel assembly including rotatable reel having a reel strip including a space symbol having an image space area and a graphic area, and a transmissive display device defining a see-through window aligned with the rotatable reel and configured to display an image in the window aligned with the image space area of the space symbol of the reel strip.
Abstract: Systems and methods that communicate, to a streaming device, data that results in a display device of the streaming device displaying first information associated with a first game being approved to be wagered on with fiat currency in a first jurisdiction and a second game not being approved to be wagered on with fiat currency in the first jurisdiction. Responsive to a selection of the first game or the second made via the streaming device, the systems and methods enable/not enable a first client device located in the first jurisdiction to place/not place a fiat currency wager in association with a play of the selected game displayed by the streaming device.

Abstract: Systems and methods that determine whether data determined by a first remote game server in association with a play of a wagering game displayed by a streaming device is authentic data. If so, the systems and methods cause a communication of the authentic data to a second remote game server operating with a client device. On the other hand, if the data is not authentic, the systems and methods store the data as unauthentic data without communicating any data to the second remote game server operating with the client device.

Abstract: Responsive to a restriction placement event occurring in association with a debit card operable to access funds maintained in a first gaming establishment account, and a restriction being placed on the debit card, systems and methods place a restrictions on the first gaming establishment account, and communicate data associated with the placed restriction. Responsive to a first component that maintains a second gaming establishment account receiving the data, the first component determines whether to place the restriction on the second gaming establishment account.
Abstract: Systems and methods that provide one or more mobile device facilitated non-cash avenues to redeem a ticket voucher associated with an amount of funds.
