A computer gaming system receives a specification of rules for revenue recognition, reporting, or allocation of proceeds of gaming activities among entities having claims to proceeds in conjunction with bettors of the gaming activity. The specification may describe and reflect changes in inter-jurisdiction tax treaties or compacts, or agreements among commercial operators. During or at conclusion of gaming activities by players through the gaming system, amounts of revenue, tax payable, or tax withholding, relating to the gaming activities are computed from the specification, for a plurality of horizontally-related tax jurisdictions, players and operators of the gaming activity having taxable contacts with the horizontally-related tax jurisdictions. The computation may reflect a tax compact or treaty among the horizontally-related jurisdictions to specify interjurisdictional treatment of the revenue, tax payable, or withholding. Proceeds of the gaming activities of the players are reported and/or allocated to operators and/or jurisdictions as specified by the computation.

A listening device is operatively connected to multiple network devices, and is configured to subscribe to one or more EGM data types, and receive first data from a first network device in accordance with the subscription. The listening device is also configured to generate a first data package in a form of a first data structure comprising the first data and configuration information related to the first network device, and transmit the data package across a second network to a collection server. The listening device is also configured to receive second data from a second network device in accordance with the subscription, wherein the second data comports with a second protocol that differs from the SAS protocol, and generate a second data package in the form of the first data structure comprising the second data and configuration information related to the second network device.

A media sharing and communication system, including a recording mechanism that records a desired portion of media upon activation by a first individual user, a first user transmitter/receiver that transmits the portion of media and a message generated by the first individual user regarding the portion of media to a second individual user and is capable of transmitting a message to a second individual user, a confirmation mechanism that confirms that the second individual user is authorized to view the portion of media, a notification mechanism that notifies the first individual user if the second individual user is not authorized to receive the portion of media, a second user transmitter/receiver that receives the portion of media and voice message upon authorization of the second individual user, a search mechanism, and a video recording mechanism, an online betting module, and an online food ordering module.

Methods, systems, processes and others are provided for digital administration of gaming units including, for example, receiving a real-time request for gaming units; determining that the gaming unit administration application executing on the mobile device is located at the particular gaming location of the gaming establishment; determining that the real-time request for gaming units does not exceed the gaming unit limit of the account pre-approved by the gaming establishment; identifying a gamer distribution module associated with the particular gaming location for the current gaming activity associated with the request; and providing an authorization to distribute to the gamer associated with the request one or more requested gaming units.

Systems and methods for real-time interactive wagering on event outcomes are presented. Clients are first qualified and given wagering limits before being allowed to interactively wager on event outcomes. Event outcomes may be based on, for example, financial markets and indices, sporting and entertainment events, casino games, casino performances, and natural phenomena such as weather and earthquakes. Events on which wagers can be placed include both those with known and unknown outcome probabilities, and wagers can be a fixed-odds type or a spread-bet type. Wager transactions, including acceptances and confirmations, are executed in real time. Clients can customize displays of events on which they are authorized to wager. Real-time client credit management, automatic dealer hedging, automatic price-spread adjustments, and automatic client and dealer defined wagering limits are also provided.

Example embodiments relate to predicting aspects of an unknown event. A system may involve an electronic device communicatively coupled to a server. The server may provide a set of possible parameters relating to an unknown event to the electronic device. The electronic device may enable a user to select predicted parameters via a user interface and may further transmit the predicted parameters to the server. The server may generate a combination from the set of possible parameters to use to retrieve a pre-recorded event and transmit the event to the electronic device for display to the user. The server may also compare the predicted parameters to the generated parameters to determine a result and provide the result to the electronic device for display to the user.

A computer-implemented method includes providing a real-time environmental model of a shared virtual environment (SVE) that includes a plurality of virtual players. Display data corresponding to the SVE is transmitted to each player device. The data includes user display data that causes a display in the player device to render a portion of the SVE based on a virtual orientation of the player device and a virtual location of the virtual player in the SVE. Sensory feedback data is then transmitted to the plurality of VR devices that causes each VR device to provide a sensory indication associated with the SVE to the respective player. The sensory indication is indicative of a benefit that will be provided to a subset of the plurality of players at a predetermined future time. At the predetermined future time, the benefit is then provided to the subset of the plurality of players.
