  • Publication number: 20260148610
    Abstract: A gaming device includes a display device, an input device, a processor circuit, and a memory. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to receive, by the processor circuit and via an operator processing circuit, identification corresponding to multiple game sets. Each of the game sets may include a subset of games. The processor circuit is caused to determine a recommended game set switch from a first game set to a second game set. The first and second game sets are on an electronic gaming machine (EGM) and the determining is performed using artificial intelligence that uses external data to identify the second game sets. The processor circuit is caused to transmit, to the EGM, an identification of the recommended game set switch.

  • Patent number: 12640005
    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 determine a trigger event corresponding a virtual gaming session that is provided to a user via a first mobile computing device. Based on the trigger event, the processing circuit is further caused to send, to the user via the first mobile computing device, virtual gaming session data that includes session transfer data for transferring the virtual gaming session from the first mobile computing device to a second mobile computing device. The processing circuit is further caused to transfer the virtual gaming session to the second mobile computing device without ending the virtual gaming session.

  • Patent number: 12633195
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to controlling access to a gaming system. According to one embodiment, controlling access to a gaming system can comprise initiating a start-up routine and reading, during the start-up routine, a pre-defined value stored in a memory of the gaming system. The pre-defined value can indicate a market in which the gaming system is to be operated. The market can comprise a commercial market or a non-commercial market. A determination can be made as to operate the gaming system in a commercial mode or a non-commercial mode based on the pre-defined value. In response to determining to operate the gaming system in the non-commercial mode operation of a feature or function of the gaming system can be modified. Modifying the operation of the feature or function of the gaming system can inhibit the gaming system from being used in an unauthorized commercial mode.

  • Publication number: 20260134748
    Abstract: A processor circuit of a system dynamically displays a plurality of wager offers based on the current sporting event information, the plurality of wager offers including a first wager offer with first odds. The processor circuit receives a first wager for the first wager offer from a player at a first time. Based on receipt of the first wager, the processor circuit stops dynamically displaying the current sporting event information. A first wager result for the first wager is determined based on future sporting event information for the sporting event at a second time after the first time. At a third time after the second time, the processor circuit displays the first wager result, and resumes display of the current sporting event information.
