Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a personalized agent service that generates and evolves customized agents that can be instantiated in-game to play with users. Machine learning models are trained to control the agent's interactions with the game environment and the user during gameplay. A user may request that a personalized agent join the user's gameplay session. The user device sends a request for the personalized agent to a game platform. The game platform determines whether the user has a license to execute a second instance of the game. When the user has a license to execute a second instance of the game, the second instance of the game may be executed on the user device. Information received from a personalized agent service is used to instantiate a personalized agent in the second instance of the game.

Abstract: In a first case, the movement speed of a movement object is reduced on the basis of a first correction value that is calculated on the basis of a delay time and that is changed in accordance with an elapsed time from start of movement of the movement object, to move the movement object. In a second case, the movement speed of the movement object is reduced on the basis of a second correction value that is calculated on the basis of the delay time and that is not changed in accordance with an elapsed time from start of movement of the movement object, to move the movement object.

Abstract: A computer device comprising a user interface and a processor. A first tier of a whole rewardable object is rendered, each tier of the rewardable object comprising a set of visual objects, each visual object representing a respective game level having an associated game objective. Each visual object is associated with an object status selected from a completed status and a playable status. A completed status is assigned to the visual object when either the user has attained the associated game objective of the game level, or an indication has been received that the associated game objective of the game level has been attained at a remote user device. When all visual objects of the first tier have been assigned a completion status, it is determined that at least one virtual object of the whole rewardable object is not associated with a completed status and a second tier is rendered.

Abstract: Gaming systems and methods which utilize the results of a sporting event to determine an outcome of a bingo game.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus which accepts a bet for a competition in which a bet can be placed on a betting target includes a processor configured to execute a process including: accepting a designation of a betting target for the competition from a first player, selecting a second player who places a bet on the same betting target as the betting target designated by the first player from among a plurality of second players who predict outcomes of the competition, and displaying information indicating the second player selected in the selecting on a terminal of the first player.

Abstract: An information processor apparatus that can communicate with a terminal device used by a user over a communication network, and the apparatus is configured of an acquisition unit that acquires betting information indicating that the first user has made a bet based on provider-designated betting ticket information that indicates betting ticket information designated by a provider that provides betting ticket information related to a betting ticket for betting a prescribed value on a predicted result of racing, a notification unit that notifies, when the betting information is acquired, a terminal device of the second user who has a prescribed relationship with the first user of information related to the provider by using a prescribed relationship information, and a reception unit that receives a betting ticket based on the provider-designated betting ticket information from the second user based on the notified information related to the provider.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for dynamically generating wager delays for live betting are disclosed. During a live contest, a wager delay may be enacted on any wagers placed. The wager delay may be dynamic such that the time of the wager delay changes throughout the contest. The wager delay may be determined based on a state of the contest, such as whether the contest is in a live state or is in a break state. When the contest is in the break state, the wager delay may be lowered or disabled until the contest returns to the live state. The wager delay may be applicable to only users determined to be wagering on the contest while also in-attendance at the contest.

Abstract: A client device associated with a player of a location-based game detects client devices associated with other players which are within proximity of the player device. This detection of other player client devices may result in various game actions occurring, such as an exchange of game elements between players, game progress for a player, access to a game feature, or establishing a connection between players. Detection of player devices may be performed using personal area network devices of the client devices, such as Bluetooth. Proximity detection can occur when player client devices are disconnected from an online system hosting the location-based game with the detection later being reported to the online system by one or both devices.

Abstract: An engine that both calculates “basic odds” (calculated by using historical database mining) and at least one more odds making formula to calculate odds on at least one outcome of a single play in a live event, crossing at least two different odds making formulas to create crossed odds. The embodiments can utilize AI to correlate the crossed odds with the final odds on similar historical plays in which odds were calculated and use machine learning after the play's outcome is known to correlate odds generated by each odds making formula with most profitable odds calculated on previous similar plays. This system may use a hybrid of a basic computer system with AI capability computers and connection to quantum capability computers to assist with calculating odds where the basic computer can determine when and how much to invoke the AI capability, the Quantum capability, and the combined AI capability.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for automatically pre-constructing bundles of play-items based on the degree of synergy between the play-items. The degree of synergy between play-items is determined empirically, based on contents of player-constructed game-sets and outcomes of actual games using those game-sets. Automatically pre-constructing bundles involves generating pairwise synergy scores between every possible pair of play-items, and then (for bundles containing more than two items) using those pairwise synergy scores to determine bundle-wise synergy scores. Techniques are provided for identifying candidate bundle(s) of play-items to offer or award to a player. The candidate bundles are determined based on synergies between the play-items in each of the pre-constructed bundles and the play-items in the player's specific game-set.
