Abstract: Individual clock adjustments between electronic devices are typically based around a round-trip time (RTT) measurement of the reference message between initiating and the receiving devices. With increasing expectations of clock synchronization accuracy, as well as widespread use of wireless data networks, the presently disclosed technology provides a dedicated clock synchronization network that yields a fixed delay between hops and within associated devices of a dedicated clock synchronization network. By accounting for the known delays between hops and within associated devices of the dedicated clock synchronization network, better clock synchronization accuracy can be achieved than prior art techniques that estimate latency based on an RTT measurement.

Abstract: Systems and methods directed to adjusting an image based on a detected object depicted in the image are described. The method may include receiving an image from an image sensor, receiving statistical information associated with the image, detecting an object depicted in the image using a deep neural network, identifying object-specific statistical information for the detected object, generating a weighted object-specific parameter based on the object-specific statistical information, generating a weighted-image value based on the weighted object-specific parameter, providing the weighted-image value to the image sensor, where the image sensor is configured to update one or more image sensor parameters based on the weighted-image value, and acquiring an image from the image sensor updated with the one or more image sensor parameters.

Abstract: A gaming system and method which includes determining a skill level of a player, determining, based on the determined skill level of the player, a return-to-player percentage to employ for a play of a game, wherein a first return-to-player percentage is determined when the skill level is a first skill level and a second, different return-to-player percentage is determined when the skill level is a second, different skill level, causing a display of the play of the game for the player in accordance with the determined return-to-player percentage, the play of the game associated with receipt of at least one skill-based input, and responsive to a score increase event that occurs in association with the play of the game, modifying a score of the player and causing a display of the modified score, wherein the score of the player is separate from a credit balance of the player.

Abstract: A gaming system receives a total wager for a game session which occurs over a designated period of time. The game session includes a plurality of different wagering events. Each of the wagering events is associated with one of a plurality of different magnitudes. For each of the plurality of different wagering events, the gaming system determines: a portion of the total wager amount, and a wager by modifying the determined portion by the magnitude associated with that wagering event. The gaming system causes the wagering event to occur, determines at least one outcome for the wagering event, determines any awards based on the determined wager and the at least one determined outcome, and provides any of the determined awards to the player.

Abstract: A regulated skill-based game includes multiple reward generating assets configured such that successful player interactions therewith increase the player's score and give rise to wagers whose outcomes are randomly determined. The amount of the wager may be a function of a time elapsed since the last wager was placed. The regulated game may be configured such that a predetermined duration of game play time thereon is purchased for a predetermined amount of money. A first portion of the predetermined amount of money funds the wagers and a second portion thereof funds a progressive jackpot to be awarded to a player having earned the highest score that is not been exceeded after a predetermined point in time. The regulated game is further configured to award credits when the randomly determined outcome is a reward generating outcome. Both the score of the skill-based game and awarded credits may be shown onscreen.

Abstract: A method of player tracking includes generating, by a transmitting device, a signal modulated to contain an identification of the transmitting device, charging at least a portion of a first touch surface on the transmitting device with the signal such that the signal is present and transmittable, transmitting, the signal from the first touch surface through the signal conduit to a second touch surface on a receiving device, receiving, by a gaming system, an authentication request comprising the identification, authenticating, by the gaming system, the transmitting device based on the identification, and linking, by the gaming system, the transmitting device with the receiving device.

Abstract: The gaming system, gaming device and method disclosed herein determines whether to provide at least one of the plurality of progressive awards to the player based on that player's measured level of skill in: (i) a plurality of plays of a partial skill-based game, (ii) a skill-based progressive award sequence, or (iii) a plurality of plays of a partial skill-based game and a skill-based progressive award sequence. The determination is based on zero, one or more inputs made by the player which tend to measure that player's level of skill in at least one of a partial skill-based game and a skill-based progressive award sequence.

Abstract: In various embodiments, the gaming system, gaming device, and method disclosed herein maintains a designated award which is associated with a variable score for a skill-based game. In one such embodiment, the gaming system enables a player to play a game, wherein the gaming system forms a score for the player. The player's formed score is based on zero, one or more inputs made by the player during the play of the skill-based game (i.e., which tends to measure one or more aspects of that player's skills). If the player's score does not reach the variable score associated with the designated award, the gaming system modifies the variable score associated with the designated award of that skill-based game. If the player's score reaches or exceeds the variable score associated with the designated award, the gaming system provides the player a designated quantity of opportunities to win the maintained designated award.
