Patent number: 12623140Abstract: An electronic die includes a plurality of faces, each face of the plurality of faces including a display device, an inertial measurement device, a processor circuit, and a memory including machine-readable instructions. When executed by the processor circuit, the instructions cause the processor circuit to receive a movement signal from the inertial measurement device indicative of a die-shake movement of the electronic die. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to, in response to the movement signal, cause the display device of each face of the plurality of faces to display a graphical symbol.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2023Date of Patent: May 12, 2026Assignee: IGTInventors: Andreas Bean, Martin Oswald

Publication number: 20260100095Abstract: Embodiments are directed to low latency streaming of video in an electronic game such as an electronic table game. According to one embodiment, a gaming system can comprise a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), and a memory coupled with and readable by the CPU and the GPU and storing therein a set of instructions which, when executed by the CPU, causes the CPU to receive, from a camera, an encoded video stream representing elements of an electronic game, and provide, to the GPU, the encoded video stream. The set of instructions, when executed by the GPU, can cause the GPU to receive the encoded video stream from the CPU, decode the encoded video stream, sample a plurality of frames from the decoded video stream, and save the sampled plurality of frames from the decoded video stream in a buffer maintained within the GPU.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2025Publication date: April 9, 2026Inventor: Andreas Bean

Patent number: 12569749Abstract: An electronic dice shaker device includes a housing defining an interior cavity, the housing including a transparent window between the interior cavity and an exterior of the housing. The electronic dice shaker device further includes a sensor that detects, in response to an electronic die coming to rest in the interior cavity, a visible face of the electronic die. The electronic dice shaker device further includes a first communication interface that, in response to detection of the visible face of the electronic die, provides an indication of the visible face of the electronic die to a gaming device.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2023Date of Patent: March 10, 2026Assignee: IGTInventors: Andreas Bean, Martin Oswald, Georg Fabiani-Aimetti
