Abstract: This invention relates to antimicrobial lenses containing metals and methods for their production.

Abstract: A gaming system and method for identifying and handling strictly fractional credit portions. The system and method is used in games that offer credit values that do not fall within a recognized denomination. For example, a game in which 1 credit is equal to 0.1¢ or another acceptable fractional value. The strictly fractional credit portions are subject to a secondary or special game procedure prior to cash-out by the player that guarantees a specified theoretical return to the player, while at the same time allowing for an exciting game experience upon cash out.

Abstract: A system and method for use in one or more casino establishments for offering a game of chance with multiple wheels. A player may bet on one or more of the wheels to win an award. The resulting pay is based on the combination of the final position of the wheels after they come to a stop. The award may be the cumulative value for winning outcomes on each of the wheels, it may be a set outcome depending on the combination of symbols on a win line across the wheels, or it may include special awards such as multipliers and wild card wins depending on the wheel configuration. The system and method are offered on an electronic multi-wheel gaming system with multiple player terminals connected to a set of electro-mechanical wheels or video wheels displayed on a screen, but may also be deployed in other forms such as on a live table game with a live operator of mechanical wheels, or on a general purpose computing device connected to a network.

Abstract: A gaming system and method for use in one or more casino establishments for offering a secondary game initiated after a loss. The gaming machine and method are offered on electronic gaming machines such as slot machines and video poker machines, but may also be deployed in other forms such as on a general purpose computing device in stand-alone form or connected to a network such as the internet.

Abstract: A system and method for a bingo game with a multiplier. A first draw selects a group of numbers from a total game pool that are used to complete a matrix on one or more bingo cards. A second draw selects a subset of the group of numbers as winning numbers. If the winning numbers are configured in a predefined winning pattern on one or more of the bingo cards, that card is a winner. Selection among multiple winning patterns is performed and a multiplier may also be applied to a winning pattern. The multiplier may be randomly assigned. The bingo game is offered on an electronic gaming machine such as a video based slot machine, but may also be deployed in other forms such as on a general purpose computing device in stand-alone form or connected to a network such as the internet.
