Abstract: Provided is a controller apparatus mounted on a hand of a user, the controller apparatus including a controller body, first sensors arranged at positions on the controller body where a plurality of fingers of the user comes into contact when the user grasps the controller body, the first sensors configured to detect displacement in spatial position between the plurality of fingers of the user and the first sensors; buttons that are arranged at positions where fingertips of the user reach and that is operated by corresponding fingers, and a plurality of second sensors arranged between the first sensors and the buttons and on surfaces of the buttons, the second sensors configured to detect displacement in spatial position between the plurality of fingers of the user and the second sensors.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to anti-cheat detection in online multiplayer video games. An anti-cheat kernel driver adapted to validate and secure a system state of a gaming device is loaded during a booting process of the gaming device. The loaded anti-cheat kernel driver ensures that the system state cannot be tampered with from the time of boot through the duration of gameplay. The loaded anti-cheat kernel driver can also receive anti-cheat modules communicated to the gaming device from an anti-cheat server, so that anti-cheat modules are received and executed on an ad hoc basis dictated by the anti-cheat server. The anti-cheat server can autonomously manage the anti-cheat operations performed on a kernel layer or application layer of the gaming device, and conduct anti-cheat mitigation operations if necessary.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide an information display method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer storage medium. The method includes: obtaining a motion status of a target object at a current moment in a virtual scene and a first operation for controlling the target object to move in the virtual scene; predicting a first moving track along which the target object is to move within a period of time after the current moment based on the motion status of the target object at the current moment and the first operation; and displaying the first moving track and a second moving track, the second moving track being a moving track along which the target object has moved before the current moment.

Abstract: A slot game utilizes dynamic credit meters for each credit reel to accumulate value for credit symbols that land on the corresponding reel over the course of multiple spins. The game further includes a special reel that determines whether additional spins are available, and a bonus reel that adds bonus values to credit meters that have existing values.

Abstract: A method of disabling cash wagering in a play-by-play sports betting system based on regulations and or user behavior. A user may wager on individual plays inside of a live sporting event. Those wagers may be made for points, or other non-cash equivalents, in jurisdictions in which sports wagering is not allowed or as a means of ensuring responsible gaming.
