Abstract: A blockchain system for supporting electronic gaming on a plurality of electronic gaming devices a primary blockchain and a system server participating in the primary blockchain. The primary blockchain defines a partially fungible tokens configured to be used for game play for a first gaming operator. The system server is configured to (i) identify a game outcome from a play of an electronic game based on output of a random number generator, the game outcome includes an award amount of PFTs; (ii) generate a blockchain transaction that includes an operator address as a funds source account of the blockchain transaction, a player address as a destination account of the blockchain transaction, and the award amount of PFTs; and (iii) transmit the blockchain transaction into the primary blockchain, thereby transferring the award amount of PFTs.

Abstract: Disclosed are gaming systems, methods and machines that may include one or more notched display screens. The notched display screens are defined by a non-rectangular shape. One or more portions of the display screen is removed, such that a variety of shapes can result from one or more cuts in the screen. In some examples, two or more notched display screens are arranged to provide a common and/or coordinated display. In some examples, a void from the removed portions can be used to present a feature, such as a mechanical reel.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine includes a cabinet, a main display coupled to the cabinet and configured to display a wagering game, and a button deck assembly slidably coupled to the cabinet. The button deck assembly includes a housing extending from a first end oriented to face the cabinet to an opposed second end, a pushbutton releasably coupled to the housing between the first end and the second end, a latch, and a lever. The latch is configured to pivot relative to the pushbutton between a first position, in which the latch engages the pushbutton to secure the pushbutton to the housing, and a second position, in which the latch is disengaged from the pushbutton. The lever is slidably coupled to the housing and configured to engage the latch, wherein movement of the lever relative to the housing pivots the latch between the first position and the second position.

Abstract: An electronic gaming system includes at least one display device, at least one array of immersive sound speakers positioned adjacent the at least one display device, and a memory device in electronic communication with the at least one display device, where the memory device stores instructions. Additionally, the electronic gaming system includes a game controller comprising a processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory device, which, when executed, cause the game controller to cause to be displayed gaming events on the at least one display device. Additionally when executed, the instructions stored in the memory device cause the game controller to output audio data, via the at least one array of immersive sound speakers, to create spatial sound. The spatial sound is directed to a player positioned within a localized sound bubble area, opposite the at least one display device.

Abstract: Electronic gaming devices and other gaming equipment include, or are retrofitted with, ultraviolet (“UV”) light sources to disinfect surfaces as well as hardware features and software features to manage UV disinfection cycles and report results of UV disinfection cycles.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine (EGM) archway includes a first EGM including at least one first curved display device, the at least one first curved display device defining a first portion of the archway. The EGM archway also includes a second EGM including at least one second curved display device, the at least one second curved display device defining a second portion of the archway, the second EGM spaced apart from and diametrically opposing the first EGM. In addition, the EGM archway includes an overhead display portion including at least one third display device, the at least one third display device defining a third portion of the archway, the overhead display portion extending overhead between the at least one first curved display device and the at least one second curved display device.

Abstract: Gaming devices and systems incorporating one or more image projectors capable of displaying under control of a video controller. The video controller may be onboard the gaming device, or can be a video controller server in networked communication with an individual gaming device; wherein some cases both such video controllers may be utilized. The video controller(s) have access to one or more image projectors on a gaming device and may respond to different trigger conditions to exercise control over image projectors of respective gaming devices. An onboard video controller in a first gaming device may communicate with two or more additional gaming devices, such as a bank of gaming devices, for controlling image projectors of such devices.

Abstract: A system is provided. The system includes an electronic gaming machine including a display and a controller. The system also includes a player tracking controller in communication with the electronic gaming machine. The player tracking controller is programmed to: a) store a plurality of tokens of a plurality of token collections, wherein each token collection of the plurality of token collections includes a predefined combination of specific tokens of the plurality of tokens and an award; b) receive, from the electronic gaming machine, gameplay information associated with a player; c) determine to award a token of the plurality of tokens to the player based on the gameplay information; and e) transmit a notification of the award of the token to the electronic gaming machine, wherein the electronic gaming machine is configured to display, on the display, the token that was awarded.

Abstract: A gaming device in accordance with some implementations includes a housing, a reel-spin initiation member, and a reel configured to spin in response to a user actuation of the reel-spin initiation member, the reel including a peripheral member having a plurality of symbols thereon and an array of light-emitting elements coupled to the reel. The gaming device also includes a controller coupled to the array of light-emitting elements and configured to selectively illuminate respective light-emitting elements of the array of light-emitting elements while the reel is rotating to produce an animated visual element.
