20220395744 · 2022-12-15 ·

Embodiments of the disclosure provide an electronic gaming machine, systems and methods with a wheel feature mode dependent on base game outcomes. Specifically, a gaming machine comprises a user interface, a display device, and a game controller. The wheel feature mode is triggered during a base game based on wheel feature mode trigger conditions. The wheel feature mode animates a graphical user interface to present a spinning feature wheel that provides credit value awards, dependent on base game outcomes (e.g., one or more base game bingo pattern outcomes), through a sequence of player-initiated feature wheel spins. If one or more winning base game outcomes remain in the base game, the wheel feature mode continues with each wheel slice value reset, such that the minimum wheel slice value is equal to or greater than the previous spinning feature wheel credit value award which continues until no winning base game outcomes remain.

CARD GAME
20220392315 · 2022-12-08 ·

A card game for playing in a casino environment, with a dealer and one or more players. Before play commences the players place an ante bet. Each player and the dealer are then dealt 2 cards. The object of the game is to get a pair of cards scoring higher than the dealer, with a wild card being able to make a pair with any other card and two wild cards being the highest score possible. Without a pair the score is determined by the sum of the card's numeric values. Before the dealer reveals their cards, the players inspect their cards and can either forfeit their ante bet, or place a further bet equivalent to the original ante bet. A side bet is also available for receiving one or two wild cards.

SRAM as random number generator

An approach is provided in which an information handling system performs multiple tests on a memory device using different supply voltage levels. The information handling system identifies a set of memory cells in the memory that produce a same set of results during each of the memory tests at the different supply voltage levels, and generates a random number based on a set of data values collected from the set of memory cells. In turn, the information handling system uses the random number generator in one or more processes executed by the information handling system.
