Abstract: An auxiliary blackjack game to a conventional game of blackjack is played before the conventional game of blackjack is played at a casino or remotely by secure communication to a remote player terminal. A Lucky High Low auxiliary blackjack game is dependent on a special purpose computer processor for determining a card value of an artificial intelligence determined dealer face-up card value and a two card conventional blackjack card hand played by a player. The auxiliary game may be played with as few as one deck. To win a suited three wager, at least three decks of cards may be utilized for play of blackjack and Lucky High Low game. A special purpose computer determines a winning player hand by summing the dealer face-up card value and the two card conventional blackjack player card hand. If the total card value total is 3, 4, 5, 30, 29, 28 or 27, the player wins currency as physical items which may be free game plays or comprise currency or fractional currency.

Abstract: A control apparatus for an operation device, the control apparatus being connected to the operation device including an operation member and a tactile presentation mechanism, the control apparatus receives an operational input by a user to the operation member, presents a tactile sensation that corresponds to the operational input to the user by causing the tactile presentation mechanism to operate when the operational input is received, and varies contents of the tactile sensation to be presented to the user in accordance with contents of the received operational input.

Abstract: A neuromodulator accurately measures—in real time and over a range of frequencies—the instantaneous phase and amplitude of a natural signal. For example, the natural signal may be an electrical signal produced by neural tissue, or a motion such as a muscle tremor. The neuromodulator generates signals that are precisely timed relative to the phase of the natural signal. For example, the neuromodulator may generate an exogenous signal that is phase-locked with the natural signal. Or, for example, the neuromodulator may generate an exogenous signal that comprises short bursts which occur only during a narrow phase range of each period of an oscillating natural signal. The neuromodulator corrects distortions due to Gibbs phenomenon. In some cases, the neuromodulator does so by applying a causal filter to a discrete Fourier transform in the frequency domain, prior to taking an inverse discrete Fourier transform.

Abstract: After a game is performed, a lottery process for selecting any content from among a plurality of contents by lot is executed. In accordance with the degree of rarity of the content selected by lot in the lottery process, the number of times of an operation to be performed by a user is set.

In accordance with the fact that the number of times of the operation performed by the user reaches the set number of times of the operation, the lottery result is displayed on a display section. When the number of times of the operation performed by the user does not reach the set number of times of the operation, representation is changed in accordance with the user operation.
