A system that interconnects multiple accounts associated with a gaming establishment.

A diagnostic system for electronic gaming machines (EGMs) includes a power supply, and a diagnostic device in electrical connection with the power supply, the diagnostic device configured for placement within a cabinet of an EGM. The diagnostic device includes an attachment device configured to couple the diagnostic device to the EGM, a sensor array including at least one sensor for sensing a condition associated with the EGM and configured to generate conditions data based on the sensed condition, a communications device configured to transmit the conditions data to a remote location, a memory configured to store the conditions data, and a processor configured to analyze the conditions data and determine a diagnostic evaluation based upon the analyzed conditions data.

In accordance with some embodiments, a game table such an electronic baccarat table may be equipped with one or more detecting components (e.g., an RFID antenna, an NFC antenna or an optical reader) to identify gaming elements placed in a certain area of the game table and determine the status of each such gaming element. A specific type of transaction may be automatically inferred by the game table, without a dealer specifically requesting an initiation of a mode or process for the type of transaction, based on statuses of the gaming elements detected within the area and a current phase or stage of a game event. For example, a Change Transaction may be inferred upon the game table determining that both inventory and non-inventory game elements are present within the area of the table at the same time.

An electronic gaming machine includes a display device and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to generate a game-state-retention sign based upon a plurality of game variables representing a state of a wagering game, where the game-state-retention sign includes a first two-dimensional machine-recognisable image that encodes the plurality of game variables. When executed, the instructions also cause the processor to display the game-state-retention sign on the display device for image capture by a handheld player device, where the handheld player device is configured to display a game-continuation sign generated from the game-state-retention sign for resuming play of the wagering game.

A method of displaying a subset of all available wagers on the different possible outcomes for a play inside of a live sporting event that is dependent upon the portion of the game the user is watching so that the user may view available wagers and the live sporting event on the same display.

Systems and methods for aggregating and integrating distributed grid element inputs are disclosed. A data platform is provided for a distribution power grid. The data platform provides a crowd-sourced gaming system for identifying grid elements and determining dynamic electric power topology. The data platform also provides an interactive interface for displaying a view of a certain area with identified grid elements. The data platform communicatively connects to the identified grid elements, collects data from the identified grid elements, and manages the distribution power grid.

A computing device for gaming by patrons. An identification acceptor may scan an identification document into digital form. A biological sensor such as a camera may obtain biological data describing a human patron. Input-output device(s) mounted in the computing device may present information and accept registration/login information and gaming commands from a human patron. A currency acceptor and dispenser may accept money. The computing device may ask a patron to insert an identification document into the identification acceptor and scan the document. The computing device may obtain biological data describing the patron. The computing device may verify the identity of the patron and acceptability of the patron for gaming based at least in part on the digital form of the patron's identification and the biological data. The computing device may accept currency for deposit into a wagering account. Once the patron is verified and the account is funded, the computing device may offer gaming activities to the verified patron out of the wagering account and pay out gaming winnings at the currency dispenser.

A computer-implemented method of pseudo-randomly selecting game elements for use in playing a game. An oracle obtains: a set of seed data items, the set of seed data items comprises one or more user seed data items generated by a respective user; a sequence of public keys; and a list of game elements. A total number of public keys corresponds to a total number of game elements. The oracle generates a first output of a game transaction. The first output comprises the sequence of public keys and a script configured to generate at least one pseudorandom number based on the set of seed data items. The script is configured to generate a list of the public keys based on the at least one pseudorandom number. An order of public keys in the list of public keys differs compared to an order of public keys in the sequence of public keys.

Technology for managing mobile applications on an electronic gaming machine (EGM) in communication with a mobile device over a communications network is disclosed. An EGM may perform an account login by a user using a gaming host application associated with the EGM such that the account login triggers the gaming host application to launch a selected mobile gaming application for game play on the EGM.

In various embodiments a single reel on a gaming device contains multiple symbols.
