Examples disclosed herein relate to systems and methods, which may receive wagers on one or more paylines. The disclosure relates to an electronic gaming system which allows a player to make one or more inputs via human gesturing, and associated methods.

The present invention relates to systems and methods to administer non-wagering entertainment games suitable for play on personal electronic devices and corresponding wager-based games available on electronic game machines within a regulated casino environment in a manner that permits users to earn benefits for play on one platform based on participation on the other platform.

A wireless communications system is provided. A computer system runs on at least one platform on which at least one interactive lottery is played across multiple, states, territories, countries and jurisdictions. At least one computer readable storage medium stores computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one network processor in the workflow server residing in the mobile communications network, implement components including: a workflow module comprising sets of workflow instructions for processing different types of lottery game packets from a plurality of different jurisdictions; and a deep packet inspection module for inspecting a received lottery game packet and providing information about the lottery game packet to the workflow module.

A wireless communications system includes a computer system that runs on at least one platform on which a plurality of different lottery games for different jurisdictions are supported and run from the at least one platform. A plurality of multiple functions relative to lottery games are mapped to the at least one platform. Multiple functions for the plurality of lottery games and different jurisdictions are mapped to the at least one platform and the at least one platform is scaleable.

A gaming machine that provides a game in which an array of symbol positions are populated with game symbols from a set of game symbols, the set of game symbols including ordinary game symbols and at least one special symbol, the gaming machine being adapted to award an award if a winning combination of game symbols is displayed, the gaming machine including a user interface in communication with a game controller, wherein the game controller is adapted to enhance the characteristics of at least one of the ordinary game symbols to create at least one enhanced symbol based upon the relative location of the ordinary game symbol to a special symbol.

A gaming system including electronic gaming machines (EGMs) compatible with patron-controlled portable electronic devices, such as smart phones or tablet computers, is described. EGMs within the gaming system can be configured to establish communications with portable electronic devices. After communications are established, the EGMs can be configured to determine input and output capabilities of the portable electronic devices and instantiate temporary peripherals. A temporary peripheral instantiated on an EGM can be used to send output to the portable electronic device and/or receive input from the portable electronic device. In some embodiments, input from a temporary peripheral can be used to affect a state of a wager-based game played on the EGM.

A long decorative illumination device which is long in the vertical direction and for being installed in the sides of a game machine may be provided with a plurality of light guide plates that can be individually illuminated. The plurality of light guide plates may be arranged in the vertical direction with gaps therebetween and in a slanted state so that the light emitting surfaces thereof are oriented toward a window part which is open from at least two directions of the front surface and the side surfaces of the decorative illumination device. A controller may control the light emission of the plurality of light guide plates to perform visual effect lighting having an impactful visual effect, while controlling the light emission from the plurality of light guide plates to convey predetermined information.

A wireless communications system is provided. A computer system runs on at least one platform on which a plurality of different lottery games for different jurisdictions are supported and run from the at least one platform. The at least one platform includes or is coupled to a jurisdiction agent to execute one or more configurable games. At least one computer readable storage medium stores computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one network processor in the workflow server residing in the mobile communications network, implement components including: a workflow module comprising sets of workflow instructions for processing different types of lottery game packets from a plurality of different jurisdictions; and a deep packet inspection module for inspecting a received lottery game packet and providing information about the lottery game packet to the workflow module.

A wireless communications system is provided. A computer system runs on at least one platform on which a plurality of different lottery games for different jurisdictions are supported and run from the at least one platform. The system is configured to provide one or more notifications of lottery ticket status.
