Abstract: A video lottery system may include a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory comprises machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to obtain, by a mobile player device associated with a player, site controller information from a local site controller associated with a video lottery terminal (VLT). The instructions further cause the processor circuit to transmit, by the mobile player device, a network request to a remote server for player information from a player database. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to receive, by the mobile player device from the remote server, the player information. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to provide, by the mobile player device, the player information in an encoded format to the local site controller.

Abstract: In response to a winning game result of a video lottery game at a video lottery terminal (VLT) by a first player, a processor circuit determines whether a game award for the winning game result meets a first threshold and whether the winning game result is associated with a player account of the first player. In response to a determination that the game award meets the first threshold and a determination that the winning game result is not associated with a player account, the VLT displays a prompt to the first player to create a player account. Based on input from the first player at the VLT, the player account is created and a redemption ticket for the game award is printed, which is redeemable for the game award only by the first player.

Abstract: A system configured to rank gameplay can include a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the system to perform operations. The operation can include transmitting an indication of a start of an event to an electronic gaming machine (“EGM”). The operations can include, subsequent to transmitting the indication of the start of the event, receiving information associated with gameplay by a player from the EGM. The operations can further include determining a ranking associated with the player based on the information associated with the gameplay by the player. The operations can further include transmitting an indication of the ranking associated with the player.

Abstract: A system configured to manage content on an electronic gaming machine (“EGM”) can include a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory can include machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the system to perform operations. The operations can include determining information associated with the EGM. The operations can further include determining that a first adjustment to the EGM is desired. The operations can further include determining a second adjustment to the EGM based on the first adjustment and the information. The operations can further include transmitting a signal to the EGM, the signal including instructions to perform the second adjustment to the EGM.

Abstract: A gaming device includes a display device, an input device, a processor circuit, and a memory. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to receive, by the processor circuit and via an operator processing circuit, identification corresponding to multiple game sets. Each of the game sets may include a subset of games. The processor circuit is caused to determine a recommended game set switch from a first game set to a second game set. The first and second game sets are on an electronic gaming machine (EGM) and the determining is performed using artificial intelligence that uses external data to identify the second game sets. The processor circuit is caused to transmit, to the EGM, an identification of the recommended game set switch.

Abstract: A display device of a computing device displays a graphical user interface (GUI) including a game selection area that includes a first plurality of wagering game objects for selection, and a game set area that includes a second plurality of wagering game objects for activation at a first electronic gaming machine (EGM). In response to receipt of a wagering game selection instruction associated with a wagering game object, a depiction of the selected wagering game object is added to the second plurality of wagering game objects in the game set area. In response to receipt of an EGM update instruction, a wagering game associated with the selected wagering game object is activated at the first EGM.

Abstract: A display device of a computing device displays a graphical user interface (GUI) including a system path area including a depiction of a first hierarchy path including a top level of a hierarchy of a plurality of gaming devices, a first sub-level of the hierarchy, and a plurality of nested sub-levels of the hierarchy therebetween. The GUI further includes an object group area including depictions of a first plurality of objects in the first sub-level, each object including one of a gaming device in the first sub-level; and a sub-level below the first sub-level. In response to receipt of an alert condition indication relating to a first gaming device in an alert condition, a depiction is displayed of an alert relating to a first object of the first plurality of objects, including the first gaming device or a second sub-level containing the first gaming device in the alert condition.

Abstract: A game recommender device includes a processor circuit and a memory comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to receive a login request from an operator processor circuit. The login request includes login credentials. Operations include evaluating the login credentials. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided to the operator processor circuit configured to manage multiple gaming devices that provide a player with a subset of games of multiple games. Managing the games includes selecting the subset of games. Operations include receiving, from the operator processor circuit, an indication of a first game of the subset of games, determining data corresponding to multiple external factors and an identity of the first game, and transmitting, to the operator processor circuit, recommended games for use with the first game based on the first game and the data corresponding to the plurality of external factors.
