Abstract: A system for conducting a game between at least one computer-controlled player and at least one live player includes a plurality of neural nets. Each of the plurality of neural nets are associated with a different game state of a game. A plurality of instructions are stored in a data storage and executable by a data processor. The data processor determines a current state vector for the game responsive to game states of the game. The processor selects a neural net from the plurality of neural nets responsive to the current state vector. The data processor feeds the current state vector to the selected neural net and the selected neural net generates an output vector from the selected neural net responsive to the current state vector. The output vector provides a plurality of candidate meta-actions. The plurality of candidate meta-actions associated with the output vector are weighted responsive to a probability associated therewith.

Abstract: A gaming system includes an EGM having a horizontally mounted display device, a reader device configured to wirelessly detect tagged items. The EGM is configured to detect, using the reader device, the presence of a first tagged item and determine a tag identifier (ID) of the first tagged item. The EGM is also configured to transmit a tag detection message to a gaming support server and receive, from the gaming support server, a response message including an amount of play credits to be added to a credit meter of the EGM. The EGM is further configured to increment a first credit meter on the EGM by the amount of play credits identified in the response message and to conduct instances of game play of an electronic game on the display device, each instance of game play decrementing the first credit meter to enable play.

Abstract: Bet synchronization, to provide a user with at least information about bets made by the user at multiple sportsbooks, may be performed by a server. The server may permit the user to register and login and to provide information on sportsbooks with which the user bets. The server may generate a shared session key and provide this to the sportsbooks indirectly, via direct links to the sportsbooks provided to the user. The user may use the links to login to the respective sportsbooks, which may then generate respective unique reference identification keys, which may then be indirectly provided to the server via redirects including the shared session key and the respective unique reference identification keys. The server may then use the shared session key and the respective unique reference identification keys to transmit requests to the respective sportsbooks and to obtain bet information associated with the user.

Abstract: A system, machine-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for automatic game creation are presented. An access module can access player information for a receiver and an originator. Additionally, a matching module can determine that the receiver and the originator have a connection based on the player information. Furthermore, a game invitation module can detect that a recipient game is installed on an originator device of the originator and that the recipient game is not installed on a receiver device of the receiver. Subsequently, the game invitation module can send, to the receiver device, a game invitation to play the recipient game based on the determination and the detection, with the game invitation including information associated with the originator.
