  • Ordering transaction requests in a distributed database according to an independently assigned sequence
    Patent number: 11120006
    Abstract: Transaction requests may be ordered in a distributed database according to an independently assigned sequence. Different distributed system nodes, such as a transaction coordinator and a storage node may independently assign sequence numbers to requests to access a distributed database. A storage node may receive the request from a transaction coordinator with an assigned sequence number and another request to which the storage node may assign a sequence number. The storage node can then order performance of the requests based on the sequence numbers.

  • Messaging system failover
    Patent number: 11064022
    Abstract: A device receives a notification indicating a failure of a first server device responsible for a primary message queue that includes messages at a time of the failure. A second server device is responsible for a standby message queue to which the messages are replicated, where a position in the standby message queue and a message time are assigned to each of the replicated messages. The device obtains a record time that identifies the message time of one of the messages that was last obtained from the primary message queue prior to the failure, compares an adjusted record time and the message time of one or more of the messages of the standby message queue to determine a starting position in the standby message queue, and processes messages obtained from the standby message queue beginning at one of the messages assigned to the position that matches the starting position.

  • ELECTRONIC GAMING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING UPGRADEABLE SYMBOL AWARDS
    Publication number: 20210049869
    Abstract: An electronic gaming system includes at least one processor configured to provide a reel-based wagering game. In the game, a matrix of symbol positions is displayed, and during each spin of the reels, the processor determines whether at least one symbol displayed in the matrix is a target (or collectable) symbol. When at least one target symbol is displayed, the processor also determines whether a threshold number of such target symbols have been accumulated from the matrix by the player, and if so, the processor awards a plurality of free games, each of which is evaluated against an upgraded paytable. The upgraded paytable defines a plurality of upgraded awards for a variety of symbol combinations, at least some of which incorporate the target symbol. In some cases, a different (e.g., upgraded) version of the target symbol may be displayed during free games.
