Abstract: A system and associated methods are provided for displaying aspects of one or more multiplayer games on one or more venue display devices. Players may interact with the games via mobile devices and may be organized into virtual tables, fields, tracks, or other groupings. The system, based on a determination of which players are physically located at the venue with a particular display device, may select views of games comprising information or views related to those local players.

Abstract: A venue-specific entertainment system is described. A communications controller is configured to communicate with electronic devices deployed at a venue, including at least two different types of electronic devices. The electronic devices are configured to communicate with one another by transmitting messages through the communications controller. The communications controller detects events based upon information from the electronic devices and transmits messages to other electronic devices to modify their output based upon the detected events.

Abstract: A system for configuring a venue environment based on venue-specific observations is described. A controller receives inputs associated with one or more patrons of the venue. The inputs are analyzed to determine one or more environmental preferences associated with the patrons. At least one environment modification is identified based on the one or more environmental preferences. The venue environment is modified based on the identified modifications.

Abstract: A system for disseminating venue-specific content output information to users is described. A venue database stores a plurality of venue entries associated with a respective plurality of venues. Each venue entry includes information identifying one or more content output devices deployed thereat. A controller is communicatively coupled to the content output devices by a first network. The controller is configured to receive, over the first network, from the content output devices, identifying information associated with the content being output by the respective content output devices deployed at the plurality of venues. The controller also updates the venue entries stored in the venue database with the received identifying information of content being output by the content output devices deployed at the respective venues. A server is accessible by computing devices of users over a second network to retrieve the identification information stored in the venue database.

Abstract: In a method of operating an on-demand multiplayer game system, a controller advertises availability of one or more on-demand multiplayer games to a plurality of individuals at a first venue. The controller receives a request from a first individual at the first venue to initiate a multiplayer game and outputs a notification of the initiation of the multiplayer game to one or more display units at the first venue. One or more additional individuals are allowed to join the multiplayer game. The multiplayer game is initiated with the first individual and the one or more additional individuals who joined the multiplayer game as participants.
