Abstract: An exemplary gaming kiosk is disclosed herein which includes a dial in which a player is able to select a desired winning amount. Upon receiving the wager amount and the winning amount, aspects of the present disclosure generate a number of wager combinations which will pay out the desired winning amount based upon the wager amount. That is out of a set of all available wagers, aspects of the present disclosure generate one or more wagering combinations that would result in the dialed-in win amount if successful. The wagering combinations are presented to the player via the kiosk.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fully automated system for player identification for risk profiling purposes that can be used in conjunction with an unmanned wagering system, such as, for example a sports wagering kiosk, based on audio-visual biometric recognition and AI pattern recognition. In aspects, a sports wagering kiosk includes components to detect biometrics information, such as a camera for facial detection, a fingerprint scanner, a retina scanner, a microphone for voice recognition, etc. The collected biometric information is processed using machine learning and/or other identification algorithms heuristics to create an identifier for the player. In aspects, the identifier generated is uniquely identifiable, such that it can be used to identify the same player across multiple interactions using different devices.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to using a virtual reality (VR) device to expand viewing options of an event by combining multiple video streams of the event with interactive overlays. In examples, a viewer utilizing a VR device may view an event from a plurality of camera angles associated with the event. Further, one or more overlays containing interactive elements associated with the content and the viewing experience may be presented to the user on the content stream of the event without the user having to transition to a separate screen or device. The overlays may be generated based on one or more interest indicators and may be selected to trigger a workflow. Ultimately, the overlays and additional viewing angles enhance the users experience without diminishing the underlying viewing experience.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an event application formatted for a wearable device such as a smartwatch. The wearable device user interface organizes event information so that it may be viewed and interacted with via the touchscreen and controls of the wearable device. The user may provide input to transition between event categories, events, and interactive elements associated with the event directly on their wearable device. The wearable device format provides increased access for the user wherever they are without requiring them to carry around a bulky external device. Further, the wearable device format provides access directly on the user's wrist making it easier for the user to perform other tasks and still access the event application. Ultimately, the wearable device format simplifies the user's ability to interact with the event application while maintaining application functionality on a smaller device.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a focus mode which allows a user to navigate events on an application and engage with interactive elements associated with the event. The focus mode condenses the event offerings presented in an application to one or more event categories with a single event displayed at a time for the selected category. The user may then navigate through event cards within the event category and interactive elements associated with the event by providing various gesture inputs. Ultimately, the focus mode provides a simplified interface that prioritizes the interactive elements available for a selected event to generate and maintain user interest in the event.

Abstract: An X-ray diffraction apparatus and method of processing signals from an X-ray diffraction apparatus are disclosed. By analysing a time delay between first and second pulses, generated by respective first and second detector cells, and by analysing an energy of each of the first pulse and the second pulse, charge sharing events and coincident photon events can be identified.

Abstract: A system, computer-implemented method and gaming device are provided. A system includes a processor circuit, a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that cause the processor circuit to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes two axis display control to determine a selected event group from multiple event groups and to determine multiple events from multiple events, receive wager amount data and wager type data via the GUI, after receiving the wager amount data and the wager type data via the GUI, receive event selection inputs corresponding to the events and determine an aggregate total amount of wager investment and winnings based on outcomes of selected ones of the events.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating and operating voice conversing virtual agents with pre-modeled and inherited human behavior across use cases and domains. One of the methods includes: using a first non-domain specific neural network based model to predict a non-domain specific conversational situation, the first neural network based model trained with labelled parts of conversations from more than one domain; forwarding the non-domain specific conversational situation to a second domain specific neural network based model; using the second domain specific neural network based model to predict a conversational situation and to provide a system intent, the second domain specific neural network based model trained with labelled parts of conversation from a specified domain; and generating a response based at least in part on the predicted conversational situation and system intent.
