  • Patent number: 10688382
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described herein for controlling movement of a platform in a dice gaming system. In one aspect, a dice system may include a platform and at least one member extending from the platform. The at least one member may include at least one magnet. The system may also include a first magnetic movement limiter positioned in a first direction from the at least one magnet and a second magnetic movement limiter positioned in a second direction opposite to the first direction from the at least one magnet. The first magnetic movement limiter and the second magnetic movement limiter may limit movement of the member in the first and second directions.

  • Patent number: 10537788
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described herein for providing a selection of dice to use in a dice gaming system. In one aspect, a method for providing a selection of dice may include providing X selection items corresponding to Y separate dice systems, where each of the Y separate dice systems are configured to throw at least one dice in an enclosed space. The method may further include receiving a selection of the X selection items corresponding to the Y separate dice systems. The method may additionally include visually indicating the selection of the X selection items.

  • Patent number: 10486058
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described herein for calibrating displacement of a platform for throwing dice in a dice gaming system. In one aspect, a method may include obtaining a configured platform displacement during a throw of one or more dice by the dice gaming system. The throw of the dice may be associated with at least one dice throw parameter. The method may also include measuring an actual platform displacement during the throw of dice by the dice gaming system, and comparing the configured platform displacement with the measured actual platform displacement to determine a displacement delta. The method may additionally include adjusting at least one dice throw parameter based on the comparison to decrease the displacement delta for future throws of the one or more dice.

  • Patent number: 10417466
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described herein for reading at least one dice. In one aspect, a method may include transmitting an RFID signal proximate to at least one dice, for example, which is contained within a dice gaming system. The method may also include receiving at least two RFID responses, with each of the RFID responses associated with different faces of at least one dice. A first RFID response may be associated with a first signal strength and the second RFID response associated with a second signal strength. The method may further include determining which side of the dice is facing upwards based on the first signal strength and the second signal strength using machine learning.
