A system for and methods of pari-mutuel wagering on previously-run order-of-finish contests (PROOFCs). The system may include electronic gaming machines (EGMs), each of the EGMs may include a display device, a user interface configured to receive input from a user, a communications interface, an EGM controller, an EGM memory device, and EGM control software; a server, connected to the EGMs via a network, the server may include a pari-mutuel wagering application, a server controller, operating memory, and a communications interface; a data store storing PROOFCs content that may include order-of-finish results applicable to the PROOFCs; and wherein stored program instructions may include generating race decks of PROOFCs from one or more sets of PROOFCs buckets, wherein the PROOFCs buckets may include order-of-finish outcomes applicable to the stored PROOFCs; providing at least one of the generated race decks of PROOFCs to each respective player to wager on; receiving wagers on the provided race decks of PROOFCs from the respective players; placing the wagers into pari-mutuel wagering pools formed on the PROOFCs of the provided race decks of PROOFCs; receiving respective winner results for the PROOFCs of the provided race decks of PROOFCs; and determining respective payouts based on the winner results and the pari-mutuel wagers by the respective players based on the balance in the pari-mutuel pools.

The invention involves an method, which includes providing a plurality of game cards, each having a grid of tiles formed in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. Each tile corresponds to a defined result chosen from a plurality of defined results. The method includes selecting a tile from each of the plurality of game cards, and comparing the defined result of the selected tile to a selected one of the plurality of defined results. The selected one of the plurality of defined results is selected in response to an occurrence.

An electronic gaming device comprises a display and a controller. The controller may have a processor, and a memory that stores a symbol set and instructions. A base game instance and a feature game may be initiated. In the base game, reel strips for the base game are mapped for each configurable symbol. An indicator may form part of the respective configurable symbol. Upon the occurrence of threshold number of triggering configurable symbols in the base game, a feature game is triggered that converts a single game window to a plurality of game windows. The triggering configurable symbols of the first game window are replicated at corresponding symbol positions in each other game window displayed. Upon one or more triggering configurable symbols including a mystery indicator, a prize value indicator may be revealed. Until an end condition occurrence, game instances continue. An award outcome may be generated.

A method for generating and distributing simulated animal data includes a step of receiving a set of real animal data at least partially obtained from one or more sensors that receive, store, or send information related to one or more targeted individuals. Simulated animal data is generated from at least a portion of real animal data or one or more derivatives thereof. Finally, the simulated animal data is provided to a computing device. Characteristically, one or more parameters or variables of the one or more targeted individuals can be modified.

Embodiments of the invention comprise skill-based wagering games, systems and devices. In one embodiment of the invention, the configuration of a skill-based game is dependent upon the skill level of the player or players. In one embodiment, the game is configured so that the odds of winning the game, and thus the payout for a winning outcome, depends upon the player's skill level. In other embodiments, the payouts or awards offered to players are fixed and the difficultly level for achieving a winning outcome is adjusted based upon the skill levels of the players. In some case, games are modified, such as to have a higher payout or lower difficulty, when criteria for modification are met based which are dependent upon a persona of the player.

Provided herein are systems methods and devices. Systems disclosed herein include a processor circuit and a memory including machine-readable instructions. When executed by the processor circuit, the machine-readable instructions cause the processor circuit to: provide a lottery game ticket that includes data corresponding to a primary game, receive a registration of the lottery game ticket corresponding to a chance game that includes an outcome that is based on an external event, determine, based on an outcome of the external event, a chance game characteristic to be applied to an entry for the chance game that corresponds to the lottery game ticket, and use the chance game characteristic to determine whether to provide a chance game award to a user.

Implementations of the present disclosure may include systems and methods for providing an improved bingo game based on player defined custom bingo cards and mapping the player defined custom bingo cards to simulate other games, such as, but not limited to, wheel based games such as roulette, dice games, and other suitable games. Implementations of the system and method may include receiving messages comprising one or more player wager selections from the plurality of electronic player interfaces, wherein the one or more player wager selections comprise one or more player selected game patterns. Implementations of the system and method may include creating one or more custom bingo cards based on the one or more player selected game patterns received in the one or more player wager selections.

According to the present invention, at least one variable odds set is respectively generated by an odds processing unit for at least one payout odds of a game result, and the at least one variable odds set respectively has at least one variable odds; there totals more than two variable odds, and the at least one variable odds respectively has a selected probability to replace the corresponding payout odds alternatively; moreover, an odds value of a part of all variable odds is lower than that of the corresponding payout odds, and odds values of the other variable odds are to make a change value of a calculated return-to-player percentage satisfy a designated condition, wherein the designated condition may be that the change value of the return-to-player percentage is the minimum. According to the present invention, the numerical value of a part of the variable odds is reduced, so that the numerical values of other variable odds are improved, and thus, the maximum possible numerical value of the variable odds can attract players.

An embodiment may involve receiving, at a receiving component, an instruction; determining, by way of a random number generator (RNG), a set of symbols and a sync symbol; displaying, on a display component, the set of symbols in a two-dimensional array and the sync symbol in a preview space; and while there are pre-determined patterns of symbols in the two-dimensional array: replacing the pre-determined patterns of symbols in the two-dimensional array with vacant symbol positions; determining, by way of random selection by the RNG, whether replacement symbols to be placed in the vacant symbol positions are subject to synchronization, wherein the replacement symbols being subject to synchronization causes each of the vacant symbol positions to be filled with the sync symbol, and wherein the replacement symbols not being subject to synchronization causes each of the vacant symbol positions to be filled with further symbols determined by way of the RNG.
