  • Publication number: 20240269685
    Abstract: A system and method for mounting a liner element to a mill shell of a mill. The system includes one or more fastening bolts, and one or more associated liner interface guide elements each having a locking portion having a cross-sectional dimension larger than a cross-sectional dimension of a bolt body of the fastening bolts. Each fastening bolt and an associated liner interface guide element are structured and arranged to be attached to each other such that, when inserted into the liner element through-hole, the liner interface guide element, by means of the locking portion, locks the fastening bolt to the liner element and protrudes out from the back side thereof to define a guide portion. The guid portion is arranged to penetrate into an associated mill shell through-hole thereby guiding the liner element into a mounting position at which the liner element is in abutment with the mill shell.

  • Patent number: 11074788
    Abstract: A method is proposed for processing a game participation request. The method comprises receiving, from a terminal, a participation request comprising a prize amount indication and based on the prize amount, determining a winning criterion for a random number to meet for the game participation request to yield a winning participation. The method further comprises receiving a random number from a number generator, determining whether the number meets the winning criterion and communicating a message that the participation is a winning participation if the random number meets the criterion. With a prize amount a priori unknown by a game server as the electronic gaming arrangement, it is advantageous to relate winning for to the specific prize amount. In order to remain profitable, it is preferred to attribute lower winning chances for higher prize amounts. This is enabled by relating the winning criterion to the prize amount communicated to the server.
