  • Patent number: 10089816
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are provided for providing players with additional side betting options. One method includes operations for receiving user account information of a first player for playing a blackjack game, and for providing data for a sideboard interface to be presented before a round of the blackjack game. The sideboard interface provides options for side bets, which are wagers on cards dealt during the round. Additionally, the method includes an operation for providing data for a blackjack interface for playing the blackjack game after side bets have been entered. A check is made to determine if the one or more cards dealt during the round of the blackjack game produce one or more winning side bets, and a currency counter of the user account is increased of the first player for the one or more winning side bets during the round of the blackjack game.

  • Publication number: 20120226593
    Abstract: A server includes a memory that stores a plurality of Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) request forms, and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor is operable to provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to a user in which to create an ETF request, receive the ETF request created using the GUI, determine, based on a ticker symbol of the ETF request, an ETF request form to use to process the ETF request, and populate the determined ETF request form using parameters of the ETF request. The processor is further operable to transmit the populated ETF request form to a placement agent associated with the populated ETF request form and indicate, using the GUI, that the ETF request has been processed after the ETF request form has been transmitted to the placement agent.

  • Patent number: 5692834
    Abstract: A point of sale photographic film package also functions as a non-prepaid mailer to a pre-designated professional film processor. In one embodiment, a film cassette or cartridge is sold in a sealed container, such as an envelope or "bubble pack" card, having a removable label which overlies the name and address of a film processor. The label bears film-identifying indicia on one side thereof and a customer-identifying form on the reverse side. The container further includes (i) indicia or perforations for facilitating access to the film cassette while leaving the container substantially intact for re-use, and (ii) an adhesive strip for resealing the container after the original seal is broken to gain access to the film cassette therein. Upon opening the sealed container and using the film, the customer may have the film processed by returning the exposed film and the container together with the label bearing the completed customer identification form, which includes customer credit information.
