Abstract: A gaming system configured to create electronic player sports wagering profiles for un-identified players, track each sports related wager made by each un-identified player, determine if any un-identified player has reached a sports related wager limit for a designated time period, and responsive to determining that an un-identified player has reached the sports related wager limit for the designated time period, initiate a sports wager limit resolution process.

Abstract: Systems and methods which utilize a player account to place one or more wagers on one or more sporting event wagering opportunities remote from a gaming establishment sports book such as in association with a hotel room system.

Abstract: A gaming system may determine a player status of a player using the gaming device and, based on the determined player status of the player, may provide video of a live sporting event to a display device of the gaming device. The gaming system may select a set of wagers that are associated with defined events in the live sporting event and provide an indication of the set of wagers to the display device. The system may include a wager or other requirement for continuing providing the video. The system may determine whether the player has selected a wager from among the set of wagers which satisfies the wager requirement, and may suspend, continue, or resume providing the video of the live sporting event to the gaming device based on the determination.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for selectively providing live sporting event video at sports gaming devices may include decrypting a first encrypted video signal is decrypted into a first decrypted video signal that includes a first encoded video stream of a first live sporting event. The first encoded video stream may be decoded into a first decoded video stream that includes a first video of the first live sporting event, which may be displayed by a display device along with first wager information to facilitate a user placing a wager on the first live sporting event. In response to receiving an instruction to display a second video of a second live sporting event, a second encrypted video signal may be decrypted into a second decrypted video signal that includes a second encoded video stream of the second live sporting event. The second encoded video stream may be decoded into a second decoded video stream that includes the second video of the second live sporting event.

Abstract: A method of operating an electronic gaming machine includes providing a predictive model of an emotional state of a player of the electronic gaming machine, obtaining biometric data associated with the player, and analyzing the biometric data to detect an emotional state of the player. The method detects occurrence of a game play event of the electronic device, generates a predicted emotional state of the player as a result of the occurrence of the game play event, and modifies an aspect of a game play experience of the electronic gaming machine based on the predicted emotional state of the player in response to the game play event.

Abstract: At a first point in time, a first game outcome is determined in association with a play of a first game, the determined first game outcome is displayed, any first game award associated with the determined first game outcome is displayed, and if a second game triggering event occurs in association with the play of the first game, a second game outcome is determined in association with a play of the second game, the determined second game outcome is displayed, and any second game award associated with the determined second game outcome is displayed. At a second, different point in time, independent of any occurrence of any second game triggering event, a second game outcome in association with a play of the second game is determined, the determined second game outcome is displayed, and c any second game award associated with the determined second game outcome is displayed.

Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for managing licenses in gaming networks. Some aspects of the invention are provided as a license manager module that operates as part of a server-based system for provisioning and configuring gaming machines. Security and authentication techniques are provided to prevent unauthorized gaming software usage. Such gaming software may be, for example, downloaded to gaming machines in the network under the control of a gaming establishment's game management server that is in communication with a license manager device. In preferred implementations, a gaming machine is prevented from executing software for a game of chance unless the license for that game is valid and has not expired.

Abstract: A plasma spray gun comprises a nozzle, an upstream powder injector, and a downstream powder injector. The upstream powder injector is disposed outside the nozzle and axially adjacent a nozzle outlet. The downstream powder injector is disposed axially downstream of the first upstream powder injector. The downstream powder injector is operative in a first coating mode, and the upstream powder injector is operative in a second coating mode.
