Abstract: Gaming systems and methods of operation thereof that provide a keno game employing one or more bonus ball drawn as the trigger(s) for one or more secondary events.
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 participant motion data and event data that corresponds to a defined occurrence in a sporting event that is predicted to happen during the sporting event. The processing circuit is further caused to send an event wagering opportunity corresponding to the defined occurrence in the sporting event and receive, before the defined occurrence in the sporting event, predicted motion data and a wagering amount that corresponds to the event wagering opportunity before the defined occurrence in the sporting event. The processing circuit is further caused to determine an award level that is based on comparing the predicted motion data and an actual outcome of the defined occurrence of the sporting event.
Abstract: Gaming systems and methods which employ designated playing cards and bonus events overlaid on such designated playing cards in association with an electronic table game.
Abstract: Systems and methods that offer zero, one or more bonus events in association with a procurement and/or a redemption of a ticket voucher associated with an amount of funds.

Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to determine a first game session state of a first game session of a wagering game at an electronic game machine (EGM) by a player in a casino environment. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to replicate the first game session state in a second game session of the wagering game at a virtual gaming device in a virtual casino environment. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to initiate the second game session in the virtual casino environment for the player such that the first game session and the second game session comprise a continuous game session.

Abstract: A position and an orientation of a player in a player area surrounded by a three-dimensional holographic display device is determined. The display device displays a first wagering game and a second wagering game based on the position and the orientation of the player to position the first wagering game in a central field of view of the player and to position the second wagering game in a peripheral field of view outside the central field of view. A game event is determined in the second wagering game. Based on the determined game event, the display device moves the second wagering game to position the second wagering game in the central field of view of the player.
