Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide entertainment gaming systems and methods comprising, among other things, a real world non-random number outcome generator machine and an entertainment gaming machine wherein the non-random outcome from the real world non-random number generator machine is processed into an entertainment gaming machine outcome. The entertainment gaming system and method of embodiments of the invention may be configured to collect non-random number based outcome from a real-world event and transmitting it to the entertainment gaming machine. The non-random number outcome from the real-world is processed into an entertainment gaming machine outcome event by the entertaining game machine processor or by the central server.

Abstract: A platform for updating one or more properties of one or more digital twins including receiving a request for one or more digital twins; retrieving the one or more digital twins required to fulfill the request from a digital twin datastore; retrieving one or more dynamic models corresponding to one or more properties that are depicted in the one or more digital twins indicated by the request; selecting data sources from a set of available data sources based on the one or more inputs of the one or more dynamic models; obtaining data from selected data sources; determining one or more outputs using the retrieved data as one or more inputs to the one or more dynamic models; and updating the one or more properties of the one or more digital twins based on the one or more outputs of the one or more dynamic models.

Abstract: The invention provides a data visualisation system comprising a data value memory in which is maintained a finite set of data values and display means arranged to display a contoured representation. One or more of the data values are displayed as contours around one or more data points and each data value is centred on a data point. The invention also provides a method of data visualisation and a data visualisation computer program.

Abstract: A data visualisation system for a method of data analysis comprising a database of interaction data between customers and merchants; a display of a graphical spatial representation of at least part of the commercial premises of a merchant; retrieving from the interaction database a plurality of data values representing interactions between customers and merchants; generating and superimposing a representation of the data values on the spatial representation; and superimposing a representation of interactions between customers and merchants associated with part of the spatial representation selected by a user in order to answer business value questions.

Abstract: A data visualisation system including a data value memory in which is maintained a finite set of data values, each data value having a corresponding time value, a display arranged to display a representation of each data value centered on respective data points, the position of each data point based on the time value of each data point, and a contour generator arranged to generate and display a contoured representation around each data point such that each data point is displayed as a local maximum. The invention encompasses a data visualisation method and program.

Abstract: The invention provides a data visualization system comprising a data memory in which is maintained one or more fact data sets comprising an identifier and one or more attribute and one or more finite element data sets wherein the members of each finite element data set define the range of possible values for at least one attribute of at least one fact data set; a retrieval component arranged to retrieve one or more data sets from the memory; and a display component arranged to display a graphical representation of a chosen subset of the set of all fact data sets in the memory as a series of data values. The invention also provides a related method and computer program.
