Abstract: A game controller has first and second controllers detachably coupled to a bridge or an information handling system housing to provide inputs to a gaming application executing on the information handling system, such as from a joystick input device integrated in each controller. Logic stored in non-transitory memory of the information handling system executes to track game controllers based upon unique identifiers retrieved from each controller to the information handling system, such as through a direct coupling of the controllers to the information handling system or indirect communication by the information handling system with a bridge directly coupled to the controllers. The information handling system sets priority for inputs from game controllers based upon controller unique identifiers and also tracks composite game controller assemblies that include controllers and a bridge.

Abstract: A wireless customizable referee paging system is disclosed. The system includes at least two flag signaling components, each flag signaling component having an electronic signature to send a unique flag signal based on a flag user's input for that flag signaling component. The system includes a central receiving component that receives the unique flag signal from each flag signaling component and then alerts a central user to receipt of the unique flag signal. The flag signaling components and the central receiving component each having a Bluetooth® radio circuit and thereby the flag signaling components communicate with the central receiving component substantially exclusively via Bluetooth® technology. The flag signaling components and the central receiving component each have a pairing-mode and a signaling-mode. The pairing-mode uniquely pairs each flag signaling component to the central receiving component.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine includes a processor configured to control a display device to display a matrix of game positions, initiate a plurality of games, and control the display device to display each game of the plurality of games in an associated game position of the matrix of game positions. The processor is also configured to determine an outcome of each game, where each outcome is a qualifying outcome or a non-qualifying outcome, as well as to evaluate the matrix of game positions to determine whether a qualifying pattern is formed in the matrix by at least two qualifying outcomes. In response to the qualifying pattern being formed, the processor is also configured to provide an award to a player of the electronic gaming machine. Each outcome may be individually evaluated to provide one or more additional awards to the player as well.

Abstract: A computer system and computer-automated method for analyzing sports performance data from a game. A data set is provided that contains a log of a first time sequence of game data events which are classified into event types. A second time sequence is generated from the first time sequence by aggregating the events into game patterns, and a third time sequence is generated by aggregating the game patterns into game strategies. A multi-level time sequence event hierarchy is thus created. These multiple time sequence levels are rendered into a visualization in which the different types at each level are visually distinct from each other. The visualization reveals to a game expert player or team behavior in the data set which can be used for player and team improvement.

Abstract: A mobile device is used as an input/output device for a player tracking system for gaming machines, such as slot machines. Each gaming machine has a unique identifier and each player has a unique identifier that is associated with an account of the player. Player credentials are electronically communicated via the mobile device directly to the player tracking system, and each player credential is associated with a player's unique identifier that is maintained by the player tracking system. The mobile device is also used to electronically communicate directly to the player tracking system a gaming machine that the player wishes to play. Prior to initiation of game play on a gaming machine, the player tracking system associates the unique identifier of a player with the unique identifier of a gaming machine that the player wishes to play.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of operating a regulated gaming machine may comprise providing a game configured to generate a plurality of in-game assets on a display, the in-game assets being configured such that successful player interaction therewith selectively triggers. An opportunity for the player to reconfigure the game in exchange for value from the player may be selectively enabled during game play. When a received player interaction is indicative of the player accepting the provided opportunity, value from the player may be accepted and the game reconfigured by changing one or more of the in-game assets and/or changing what constitutes successful interactions therewith that triggers wagers. Conversely, when the received player interaction is indicative of the player foregoing the provided opportunity, the game is continued and wagers selectively triggered without reconfiguring the game.
