Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for gaming solutions across different gaming channels, different entities, and different environments using non-fungible token (NFT), blockchain, and/or metaverse components and/or functionality. A gaming device in a physical gaming environment can be synced with a gaming device in a metaverse gaming environment. NFTs can be associated with users, gaming devices, gameplay outcomes, and/or vouchers. NFTs can be actioned to players in a gaming computing environment through one or more gaming channels. NFTs can be actioned across different gaming channels, different entities, and different environments. A cross-channel application can pair a user computing device with a first gaming channel and apply a non-fungible token for personalization of the first gaming channel. The cross-channel application can pair the user computing device with a second gaming channel and a apply the NFT for personalization of the second gaming channel.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying a variety of events that occur within a gaming session and generating event reports based on the identified events. For example, a gaming service (e.g., a cloud gaming server) can leverage content analysis and event recognizer services on a cloud computing system to detect one or more in-game events based on gaming content (e.g., video content, audio content, controller inputs) that is delivered to a client system. Systems described herein can train and implement event recognizers trained to track various in-game events across multiple gaming applications. Based on the tracked events, the systems described herein can generate event reports for events, individual users, and groups of users of the cloud computing system.

Abstract: The present invention is a taxidermy display apparatus (TDA) and method of use. The TDA provides for a simple and low cost means for displaying a taxidermy mount such as the skull of a deer or other animal, preferably by providing for the ready suspension of such taxidermy mount. The TDA comprises an eyebolt, a washer, a barrel nut, and an anchor. In practice, a user positions the anchor within the skull, places the washer on top of the skull, threads the eyebolt through the washer—the eyebolt passing through a natural or created hole in the skull—and threads the eyebolt through the anchor. With a taxidermy mount thus affixed to the TDA, TDA with a taxidermy mount affixed thereon is suspended from a holding structure via the eyelet of the eyebolt.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method for implementation of super-fungible tokens for gaming is disclosed. The electronic device tracks a set of gaming assets associated with a player in a gaming application. Metadata associated with the set of gaming assets is received and a super-fungible token is created, based on a storage of the metadata to a distributed ledger associated with the gaming application. The creation of the super-fungible token corresponds to an ownership of a single gaming asset from the set of gaming assets by the player in the gaming application at a time instant. A first user input indicative of a selection of a first gaming asset is received. The selected first gaming asset is enabled and a set of second gaming assets are disabled in the gaming application. The disabled set of second gaming assets correspond to gaming assets other than the enabled first gaming asset.
