Abstract: A processor circuit provides a real-time environmental model of a shared virtual environment (SVE) comprising a plurality of virtual persons in a virtual gaming environment. Display data corresponding to the SVE to a first player device worn by a first player is transmitted, including user display data that causes a display device in the first player device to render a portion of the SVE from a point of view (POV) of the first player based on a virtual orientation of the first player device and a virtual location of the first player in the SVE. Based on a determined player status of the second player, a sensory interactivity parameter of the second player is modified to modify at least one of a visibility, an audibility, and a tangibility a second player avatar associated with the second player in the SVE in the POV of the first player.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a gaming system, device, and method that in response to the detected content generation event, generates, from a set of group content preferences, content for presentation by a reality altering device of each player in the group of players, select content in the generated content for presentation by the reality altering device to represent a sensory characteristic of a selected object in a set of objects, determines, relative to a coordinate system, a respective spatial location of each player in the group of players and a respective spatial location of the selected object, and, based on the respective spatial locations of each player relative to the respective spatial location of the selected object, causes a respective portion of the selected content to be presented by the corresponding reality altering device of the player.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a splash zone in a casino or other venue. The splash zone is visually similar to the splash zone in an amusement ride. People in the splash zone get wet at the ride. In the present disclosure, people in the splash zone can receive money or prizes. A splash zone can be triggered around a winning gaming system. This can be a monetary event as well as a visual effect. The visual aspects of the winning effect can synchronize lights, animations, and/or sounds across gaming systems.

Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit and a memory including machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to perform operations. Operations include generating multiple branded game plays that comprise celebrity brand data from a celebrity and corresponding to a plurality of game plays on a gaming machine. Operations include transferring, responsive to receiving a request provided by a user, the branded game plays to the user and responsive to an outcome event of one of the branded game plays on the gaming machine, providing the user with celebrity brand data that corresponds to the one of the branded game plays.

Abstract: Systems and methods that offer zero, one or more bonus events in association with a procurement and/or a redemption of a ticket voucher associated with an amount of funds.

Abstract: Systems and methods that track occurrences of events in association with gaming sessions at one or more gaming devices, and determine gaming establishment loyalty benefits based on the tracked occurrences of the respective events and one or more random determinations.

Abstract: A gaming system rewards a player for maintaining a set of player engagement indicators in predetermined state. The state of the player engagement indicator depends directly upon a player engagement level with the gaming system measured over a selected time period, and the state itself determines one or more of an amount and probability of winning an award.

Abstract: A system includes a communication interface, a processing circuit, and a memory coupled to the processing circuit. The memory includes machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to determine a trigger event corresponding a virtual gaming session that is provided to a user via a first mobile computing device. Based on the trigger event, the processing circuit is further caused to send, to the user via the first mobile computing device, virtual gaming session data that includes session transfer data for transferring the virtual gaming session from the first mobile computing device to a second mobile computing device. The processing circuit is further caused to transfer the virtual gaming session to the second mobile computing device without ending the virtual gaming session.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to controlling access to a gaming system. According to one embodiment, controlling access to a gaming system can comprise initiating a start-up routine and reading, during the start-up routine, a pre-defined value stored in a memory of the gaming system. The pre-defined value can indicate a market in which the gaming system is to be operated. The market can comprise a commercial market or a non-commercial market. A determination can be made as to operate the gaming system in a commercial mode or a non-commercial mode based on the pre-defined value. In response to determining to operate the gaming system in the non-commercial mode operation of a feature or function of the gaming system can be modified. Modifying the operation of the feature or function of the gaming system can inhibit the gaming system from being used in an unauthorized commercial mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods that offer zero, one or more bonus events in association with a procurement and/or a redemption of a ticket voucher associated with an amount of funds.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a gaming system, device, and method that selects a predetermined game outcome from a pool of predetermined game outcomes, generates a prompt to a generative model, the prompt comprising input related to the predetermined game outcome, receives content generated by the generative model based on the generated prompt, selects at least a portion of the received content for presentation as part of a game display configured to provide the selected predetermined game outcome, and causes the received content to be presented by a gaming device as part of the game display.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to capturing and ranking videos of players reacting to events in the electronic game and using those videos to attract other players. As will be described, embodiments allow players to record celebration videos, i.e., videos of the player reacting to a win, when the hit a jackpot, have a winning hand or set of numbers, bet on a winning horse or team, etc. The videos can then be used to attract other players to a game. In some cases, an incentive can be provided to encourage players to provide celebration videos. For example, having the highest ranked video can provide benefits to players such as player loyalty points or prizes. The videos can be ranked and organized by denomination, wager, theme, Electronic Gaming Machine (EGM) or bank of EGMs played, etc. and prizes can be awarded accordingly.

Abstract: A system includes a communication interface, a processing circuit, and a memory coupled to the processing circuit. The memory includes machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to receive participant motion data and event data that corresponds to a defined occurrence in a sporting event that is predicted to happen during the sporting event. The processing circuit is further caused to send an event wagering opportunity corresponding to the defined occurrence in the sporting event and receive, before the defined occurrence in the sporting event, predicted motion data and a wagering amount that corresponds to the event wagering opportunity before the defined occurrence in the sporting event. The processing circuit is further caused to determine an award level that is based on comparing the predicted motion data and an actual outcome of the defined occurrence of the sporting event.
