The present disclosure relates generally to gaming devices, systems, and methods. As an example, a gaming device is disclosed to generate game outcomes based on game instructions applying game rules to user inputs; cause gameplay graphics to be rendered by the user interface in accordance with the game outcomes; receive, from a sensor, information that enables the processor to identify a number of players positioned in proximity of the user interface; dynamically modify the game rules based on the identified number of players being greater than one; generate additional game outcomes based on the game instructions applying the modified game rules to user inputs; and cause additional gameplay graphics to be rendered by the user interface in accordance with the additional game outcomes.

A true random number generator (TRNG) is disclosed that includes an enclosure. The enclosure enfolds radioactive source defining a radioactive source surface and a cavity separating the radioactive source from an array of cells that define an array surface with an edge. Each cell in the array comprises a detector constructed to detect electrons within the cavity from the decay of the radioactive source and to produce a signal for the detected energy.

The second data includes the logical address and a timestamp value indicating a version of map data mapping between the logical address and the physical address.

A gaming system comprising a display system and a game controller comprising one or more processors, the game controller executing instructions which cause the game controller to: based on a determination that an extra wild feature is enabled for a first reel of a plurality of reels, randomly determine whether to activate an extra wild feature for the first reel, activate the extra wild feature for the first reel in response to the determination, based on the activation of the extra wild feature for the first reel, cause the display system to replace the first reel with a first multiplier ladder, determine a multiplier value for the first multiplier ladder, and cause the display system to display the determined multiplier value.

A true random number generator is presented that includes a CMOS matrix detector with a top surface. A shell is positioned over the top surface, and the shell includes a radiation source and a luminophore or scintillator constructed to emit photons towards the top surface when the luminophore or scintillator is struck by electrons from the radioactive decay of the source of the radiation. The CMOS detector matrix is constructed to detect the photons emitted from the luminophore or scintillator and to produce a signal for the detected photons. The signal is communicated to a processor that produces true random numbers based on the signal from the detected photons.

A true random number generator (TRNG) device having a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure coupled to a domain wall wire. The MTJ structure is formed of a free layer (FL) and a reference layer (RL) that sandwiches a tunnel barrier layer. The free layer has anisotropy energy sufficiently low to provide stochastic fluctuation in the orientation of the magnetic state of the free layer via thermal energy. The domain wall wire is coupled to the MTJ structure. The domain wall wire has a domain wall. Movement of the domain wall tunes a probability distribution of the fluctuation in the orientation of the magnetic state of the free layer. The domain wall can be moved by application of a suitable current through the wire to tune the probability distribution of 1's and 0's generated by a readout circuit of the TRNG device.

A magnetic tunnel junction element includes a fixed layer having a ferromagnet and having a magnetization direction fixed substantially, a free layer having a ferromagnet and having a magnetization direction varying with a first time constant, and a barrier layer disposed between the layers configured with an insulator. The magnetic tunnel junction element has a shift magnetic field of an absolute value of 20 millitesla or smaller. The fixed layer has a plurality of ferromagnetic and non-magnetic coupling layers laminated one upon another, and ferromagnetic layers adjacent to each other among the respective ferromagnetic layers are coupled in terms of magnetization by the non-magnetic coupling layers in an antiparallel manner.
