  • Publication number: 20250131797
    Abstract: A method including receiving, by a player and via a user interface, an outcome of a primary wager game played by the player, providing, to the player, an offer to make a secondary wager game that comprises an alteration output that alters the outcome of the primary wager game. The secondary wager game includes randomly selecting one of multiple values. Operations include receiving, from the player, a first input that causes the secondary wager game to be performed and determining the alteration output that is associated with the secondary wager game. Operations include receiving, from the player, a second input that causes a second secondary wager to be performed a second time and altering, based on the alteration output corresponding to the first input and the second input, the output of the primary wager game.

  • Publication number: 20250131796
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided. A system includes a communication interface, a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the embodiments. The memory includes machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to receive, via a communication interface, progressive prize data corresponding to multiple progressive wagering games and from multiple electronic gaming machines. The processor circuit may be further caused to generate multiple updated progressive wagering game composite values that each correspond to one of the progressive wagering games. The processor circuit may be further caused to transmit data corresponding to the updated progressive wagering game composite values to the display device that is configured to display each of the updated progressive wagering game composite values.

  • Publication number: 20250104512
    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 provide, by the processor circuit, a virtual environment in a metaverse. The virtual environment includes a virtual electronic gaming machine (EGM). The processor circuit is further caused to receive, via the processing circuit and from a gaming device that is in a physical world and that corresponds to a user, an identification of a modification to the virtual environment that is not possible in the physical world. The processor circuit further caused to provide, responsive to receiving the identification of the modification and via the processing circuit, the modification to the virtual environment.

  • Publication number: 20250104503
    Abstract: A processor circuit provides a real-time environmental model of a shared virtual environment (SVE) comprising a plurality of virtual persons and a plurality of virtual gaming devices. The processor circuit transmits display data corresponding to the SVE to a first player device worn by a first player, the display data comprising user display data that causes a display device in the first player device to render a portion of the SVE based on a virtual orientation of the first player device and a virtual location of the first player in the SVE. The processor circuit determines a virtual environment condition in the SVE and, based on the virtual environment condition, operates a a biometric feedback device to provide biometric feedback to the first player.
