Abstract: A system and method(s) for testing a land-based gaming machine is described. For instance, a system generates a video stream showing a first view of a land-based gaming machine physically located within a secure gaming test environment. The system further transmits, via a communications network, the video stream to a user computing device that is external to the secure gaming test environment. The system further animates play of an in-development wagering game presented via the first view. The system further detects a change in state, related to presentation of the in-development wagering game, of the gaming machine or the user computing device. The system further determines, based on the change in state, a second view of the land-based gaming machine to present via the user computing device. The second view is different from the first view. The system further automatically modifies the video stream to present the second view.

Abstract: A centralized gaming system is provided. The centralized gaming system includes a thin gaming device providing game play in a communal game and a central gaming server configured to: store a ball call for the communal game on behalf of the thin gaming device and at least one legacy gaming device; receive an outcome request message from the thin gaming device; allocate a bingo card to the game instance associated with the outcome request message from a card pool of predetermined bingo cards; evaluate the allocated bingo card based on a current state of the ball call of the communal game; determine a reward value based on the evaluation of the allocated bingo card; and transmit an outcome results message to the thin gaming device in response to the outcome request message.

Abstract: A robot includes a camera, a wireless interface, a propulsion system, a memory device, and a processor. The processor is configured to control the propulsion system to navigate the robot proximate a gaming device, initiate, using the wireless interface, a connection with the gaming device, request a data exchange with the gaming device, and receive, via the wireless interface and using a wireless communications protocol, data from the gaming device.

Abstract: A robot management system (RMS) includes a plurality of service robots deployed within an operations venue that includes a plurality of gaming devices, an operator terminal presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) to an operator, and a robot management system server (RMS server) configured in networked communication with the plurality of service robots. The RMS server is configured to: identify location data for the service robots; create an interactive overlay map of the operations venue that includes a static map of the operations venue, overlay data showing the location data of the plurality of service robots over the static map, and an interactive icon for each service robot of the plurality of service robots; display, via the GUI, the overlay map; receive a first input indicating a selection of a first interactive icon associated with a first service robot; and display current status information associated with the first service robot.

Abstract: A gaming device may be configured for receiving, via a user interface, user input corresponding to a request for play of a gambling game and for determining whether the gambling game is a base game or a sub game. Upon determining that the gambling game is a sub game, the gaming device may be configured for controlling a display system to provide a sequence of images corresponding to an instance of the sub game, for determining sub game data and sub game metadata corresponding to the instance of the sub game, for adding a sub game trace to a game history data structure corresponding to the sub game data and the sub game metadata and for adding a game round index marker to the game history data structure corresponding to the instance of the sub game.

Abstract: A method of replay of a gambling game may involve receiving user input corresponding to a request for replay of the gambling game. The request may include a game round indication pertaining to an individual free game from within a feature game comprising a plurality of free games. The method may involve querying a game history data structure and retrieving game round metadata corresponding to the individual free game. The method may involve controlling a display to provide a sequence of images corresponding to the game round metadata. The sequence of images may correspond to a replay of the individual free game.
