  • Patent number: 12363194
    Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronizing data structures in computer networks and distributed computing environments are disclosed. A system can provide a network resource to a client device corresponding to a network profile, establish a network communication session with the client device, and transmit instructions for network application formatting during the network communication session. The system can receive a second request for a network exchange during the network communication session. The system can determine that a path for an object of the network communication session satisfies at least one intersection criterion, the at least one intersection criterion associated with at least one second transmission value. The system can update a second data structure of the network profile.

  • Publication number: 20250182557
    Abstract: Described herein are gaming systems and methods for providing timed inflation games. A data processing system can receive a wager and generate a graphical user interface that includes a graphical indicator representing the score for the gameplay along with a first interactive element that updates the score in response to user interaction with it. The state of the graphical indicator increases as the score for the gameplay increases. The data processing system can determine that interaction with the first interactive element has ceased and initiate a timer to count the passage of time up to an expiration threshold. The data processing system can also present a second interactive element that can terminate the gameplay, and the credit balance can be adjusted based on the wager and score in response to user interaction with the second interactive element before the timer expires.

  • Publication number: 20250157282
    Abstract: Described herein are gaming systems and methods for providing a navigation-based game. A data processing system can receive a wager and present a graphical user interface with a plurality of rows or columns, each of which can include a respective set of spaces. Each space can correspond to a respective space condition that can cause the game state to be updated. The respective space condition of a subset of the respective set of spaces can include a termination condition that can cause a play of the game to terminate. The data processing system can receive input to initiate navigation of an icon to a target space of the respective set of spaces of a first row or a first column. The data processing system can determine an updated game state for the play of the game based on the respective space condition of the target space.

  • Publication number: 20250157307
    Abstract: Described herein are gaming systems and methods for providing multi-hand card games. A data processing system can receive a wager for a play of a multi-hand card game and present a graphical user interface having multiple hands. The graphical user interface can indicate a respective set of cards for each hand. The data processing system can determine, based on the respective set of cards for each hand, whether a hand satisfies a lock condition or an unlock condition. The data processing system can receive input to advance the play of the card game. The data processing system can update the graphical user interface according to the command for each hand satisfying the unlock condition. Finally, the data processing system can adjust the credit balance according to the player's multiple hands and the dealer's hand.

  • Publication number: 20250104530
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing bonus games based on positive and negative bonus accumulators are disclosed. The gaming system can generate, responsive to receiving an indication to begin a play of a game, a grid of symbols. Each symbol can have an attribute corresponding to one or more of a positive bonus value, a negative bonus value, and a credit value. The gaming system can calculate a positive accumulator value, a negative accumulator value, and a credit accumulator value based on the attribute. The gaming system can detect a condition to initiate a bonus game, and execute the bonus game based on the positive accumulator value and the negative accumulator value. The gaming system can adjust, responsive to executing the bonus game, a credit balance based on an outcome of the bonus game and the credit accumulator value.

  • Publication number: 20240087413
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides gaming systems. An example gaming system can receive a side wager corresponding to a play of a card game. The gaming system can then provide a plurality of hands for the play of the card game. The gaming system can determine the number of the plurality of hands that satisfy a side wager condition, and calculate a first award amount based on the number of the plurality of hands that satisfy the side wager condition. An account of the player can be credited based on the first award amount. The gaming system can receive wagers that each correspond to a respective hand of the card game. Upon completion of the game, the system can determine an award amount for each of the plurality of hands, and adjust a credit balance of an account based on the award amount for each of the plurality of hands.

  • Publication number: 20220301393
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides gaming systems having one or more processors coupled to memory. The gaming system can receive an indication of a wager on a play of a game. The gaming system can decrease a credit balance based on the wager. The gaming system can determine a first number as a target value and a second number as a modifier. The gaming system can determine an initial award amount based on the wager and a result of the play independent of the first number. The gaming system can determine that a game event of the play satisfies a bonus award condition based on the first number. The gaming system can compute a bonus award based on the second number and the initial award amount. The gaming system can cause the credit balance to increase based on the computed bonus award and the initial award amount.

  • Publication number: 20060106654
    Abstract: The methods and systems for coordinating the travel itineraries of multiple travelers, who are leaving from more than one origin location, but are arriving at the same destination location, provide automated techniques for determining which itineraries for each traveler best meets the specified criteria for the trip. For example, a travel organizer may specify certain travel criteria for a trip, such as the relative importance of the travel schedules versus the price. A set of suggested travel itineraries that most closely meet the specified criteria are then provided, in addition to the amount of time between when any two travelers arrive at and/or leave from the destination location, and the price. Furthermore, the travel coordination techniques provide flexibility by allowing replacement of one or more of the suggested itineraries with other possible itineraries and recalculation of the time amounts and the price(s).
