Abstract: A method and system facilitate self-service processing of a jackpot win by a player of a gaming machine. A jackpot processing system receives notification of a jackpot win, generates jackpot processing information including an amount to be awarded to the player, such as a jackpot amount less offsets thereto, and generates and sends a message to the player's mobile communication device. The message allows the player to confirm the jackpot processing information and provide necessary confirmations, such as a signature. The jackpot processing system generates a jackpot win record, may generate one or more associated win forms, and facilitates payment of the award amount to the player.

Abstract: Event streams of terminals for a given interval of time are preprocessed to label event types and label predefined time-based or sequence-based patterns associated with terminal power supply unit (PSU) failures. The labeled event streams are provided as input to a trained machine-learning model (MLM), which outputs a score for each terminal representing a likelihood that the corresponding terminal is or is not going to experience a PSU failure. In an embodiment, each score is compared against one or more threshold values and each terminal is classified as low risk, medium risk, or high risk of a PSU failure. In an embodiment, the scores and/or the classifications for the terminals are reported to an enterprise associated with the terminals at predefined intervals of time.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing jackpots, including providing jackpot-related forms such as tax forms to jackpot winners, suspending jackpot processing, integrating jackpot processing with other features such as loyalty and financial/wallet features and systems, replenishing jackpot payment pouches, and processing of player tips, such as from jackpot funds, are provided.

Abstract: Relative to a gaming system, a jackpot processing server is configured to generate at least one gaming win reporting form, such as a W2G, in response to a gaming win by the player. The jackpot processing server is configured to store that form and provide access to the form. A code may be provided to the player which is used to generate a communication link to a webserver for accessing the form. Alternatively, the form may be emailed to the player, such as in response to a request to an email server. The email server may be a public email server that communicates to the jackpot processing server via a secure communication module.

Abstract: In accordance with a method and system for processing a casino jackpot won by a player, information regarding the player is utilized to interrogate one or more casino systems for the existence of any outstanding casino credit, such as outstanding markers, to the player. In the event of outstanding casino credit, all or a portion of the amount of the jackpot may be credited to pay the casino credit balance.

Abstract: A remotely controlled air vent register which allows the direction of airflow to be changed with a rotating assembly driven by a first motor mounted to a duct-side face of the mounting plate and which allows the amount of airflow to be changed with louvers operated by a second motor mounted to a duct-side face of the mounting plate, both of said motors being controlled by a processor with a receiver to receive an activation signal transmitted from a location apart from the vent register.

Abstract: Wearable devices, such as wrist bands, mobile devices, cards, name tags, or the like, are provided for facilitating various transactions at events. Further, a system is provided that allows an event organizer to manage transactions among various entities in an event via the wearable devices. In particular, a wearable device with unique identification may be given to each attendee. The attendee may use the wearable device to gain access to various parts of the event and make purchases at various vendors or merchants. The system may manage transactions made by the attendees using the wearable devices.

Abstract: A remote controlled air vent register having a mounting plate with a hole; a rotating assembly disposed within the hole, the rotating assembly having a bottom plate and one or more louvers disposed within the bottom plate; a motor statically mounted to a duct-side face of the mounting plate, the motor having a drive shaft and a drive shaft gear mounted to the drive shaft, the drive shaft gear being in geared communication with a geared surface on said rotating assembly; a processor in communication with the motor and powered by a power source; and a receiver within the processor, the receiver being configured to receive a signal from a remote control.

Abstract: Taste of a non-nutritive steviol glycoside sweetener is improved by using anisic acid in an amount sufficient to mask the metallic aftertaste of the non-nutritive steviol glycoside sweetener when the sweetener is contained in a beverage, beverage concentrate or syrup, or reduced calorie sweetener.
