  • 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.
