  • Patent number: 9069485
    Abstract: A method for processing commands includes receiving, for multiple commands, doorbells for writing to a send queue scheduler buffer on a host channel adapter (HCA). The send queue scheduler buffer is associated with a send queue scheduler. The method further includes detecting a potential deadlock of the send queue scheduler from processing a portion of the doorbells, writing a subset of the doorbells to a doorbell overflow buffer on a host, operatively connected to the HCA, based on detecting the potential deadlock, and discarding the subset by the send queue scheduler without processing the subset of the plurality of doorbells before discarding.

  • Publication number: 20100248810
    Abstract: A slot machine with game play crossing over between at least two sets of symbols each from a particular game theme. Game play on the slot machine displays on a set of reels a plurality of symbols of a first game theme. Play is initiated on the reels and the reels are stopped. A determination is made as to whether at least one symbol designated as a trigger symbol is located in a stop position designated as a trigger position. The game crosses over or switches to a second game theme with a plurality of second symbols on the set of reels if the trigger symbol is located in the trigger position. Game play may include, but not necessarily be limited to one or more of the following: simple cross over play between two games, free spins in a different theme, bonus games in a different theme, player selected trigger symbols, randomly selected trigger symbols, player selected game themes and player selection of the number of game themes to include in a play session.

  • Publication number: 20090191937
    Abstract: Described is an electronic gaming device and system with player preference options. With the device or system, a player may select certain game parameters, including, but not limited to, whether or not to play for a progressive jackpot, whether or not to listen to game tones associated with the game and whether or not to play left handed or right handed. Players may also select a number of pay lines to play or which bonus games to play. The player's preferred parameters may then be stored such that during a later visit, the electronic gaming device may be automatically configured using the stored parameters or alternatively, the player may be provided with the option to select or decline the preferred parameters from a previous gaming session. In one version, multiple games of chance may be played simultaneously on a single game screen.

  • Publication number: 20090149249
    Abstract: A video game machine including one or more display devices utilizing organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) or functionally equivalent technology to display moving and/or static information on curved portions of a display device such that the activity of the video reels flat slot machine display resembles the activity of mechanical reels, and so that user interface buttons and screens are more appealing. To facilitate fabrication of the curved portions of the display device, flexible OLED technology may be employed.

  • Publication number: 20090093301
    Abstract: Described is a display device utilizing organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) to display moving and static game symbols on curved portions of a display device such that the activity of the video reels, unlike the currently available flat slot machine display devices, resembles the activity of mechanical reels. To facilitate fabrication of the curved portions of the display device, flexible OLED technology may be employed.
