Abstract: Systems and methods for maintaining contests including non-fungible tokens (NFTs), determining that an outcome of a contest indicates a tie, and establishing a placeholder are disclosed. The NFTs can be associated with attributes and may be stored on a blockchain. The system can receive a request and selections of NFTs for entering a contest. Each NFT can be associated with a player profile and satisfy a selection rule. The system can generate a fantasy sports lineup including NFTs and modify a restriction condition for each NFT. The system can determine that an outcome of a contest indicates a tie and calculate edition number totals to determine a winner of the tie. The system can determine that an NFT has been transferred to a player profile. The system can modify a lineup to include a placeholder in lieu of the NFT.

Abstract: Systems and methods of curiosity driven reinforcement learning agents promote novel exploration of a virtual interactive environment. The data of the exploration can be stored in a buffer to determine, generate, and display visualizations in the virtual interactive environment. The visualizations can correspond to identify issues in the virtual interactive environment and/or identify relationships between regions of the virtual interactive environment.

Abstract: An information processing program causes a computer to realize: an obtaining unit that obtains item possession information indicating whether or not a player possesses a first item, which can be obtained by executing predetermined processing in a game, first item information indicating the first item managed in association with the processing, and executable processing information indicating the processing that can be executed by the player; and an output-information generating unit (319) that generates output information for reporting that the first item can be obtained in a display screen displaying information concerning the first item not possessed by the player in the case where it is determined, on the basis of the item possession information, that the player does not possess the first item and it is determined, on the basis of the first item information and the executable processing information, that the player can execute processing by which the first item can be obtained.

Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying the eligibility of players attempting to participate in gaming events are disclosed. Communication objects having RFID tags and closed electrical circuits are individually assigned to and worn by players within a gaming player verification system. These RFID tags may communicate with associated player tracking units attached to gaming machines and other devices via radio frequency waves, and each communication object may alter its communication pattern in response to any break of its closed electrical circuit. In some embodiments, a communications object may emit a signal that conveys a privilege of the player wearing the communications object. Bracelets, wristwatches or collars can be used as communication objects, such that the removal of such an object from a player cannot be accomplished without breaking the closed electrical circuit contained therein, thereby disabling or de-authenticating the device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for tracking a game asset used in a video game includes receiving game inputs provided by a player during gameplay of the video game. The game inputs are analyzed to determine when the game inputs result in the occurrence of a significant event in the video game. A digital asset is awarded to the player providing the game inputs for the significant event. A non-fungible token is generated for the digital asset earned by the player and a value indicative of intrinsic value of the significant event is computed and associated with the digital asset. The non-fungible token is used to monitor use of the digital asset.

Abstract: A computer game program obtains data input by a player. Puzzle display information is output to cause number of puzzle elements forming part of a puzzle to be displayed in a game field so that at least one puzzle element among the number of puzzle elements is selectable. Outputting object display information causes an object to be displayed on a screen on which the number of puzzle elements are displayed. Puzzle attribute information and/or puzzle arrangement information associated with the selected puzzle element may be updated and a determination is made as to whether or not the updated puzzle attribute information and/or the puzzle arrangement information satisfies a predetermined condition. An object displayed on or around the puzzle element associated with the puzzle attribute information and/or the puzzle arrangement information may be moved to produce a predetermined effect in a game when the predetermined condition is satisfied.

Abstract: Iterative workload processing having a mandatory processing task and a preferred processing task. A processor device iteratively performs a processing workload that comprises a mandatory processing task and a preferred processing task. The mandatory processing task includes accessing a plurality of input messages that have not yet been processed, and the preferred processing task has a target timeframe within which to be performed. For each iteration, a maximum preferred processing task amount of time to perform the preferred processing task is determined based on a moving average of mandatory processing task times of previous iterations and based on the target timeframe. The preferred processing task is performed for a period of time no greater than the maximum preferred processing task amount of time.
