A urinal-based multiplayer gaming system is provided. The system includes a plurality of urinals, each including a respective urine sensing system, each urine sensing system configured to sense, when active, a urine stream attribute of urine collected at that urinal. A common display is viewable from each of the plurality of urinals. A processing system is configured to: execute a computer-implemented game responsive to urine stream attributes received from the active urine sensing systems; and render game graphics on the common display during execution of the computer-implemented game, wherein the game graphics include, for each of the active urine sensing systems, a corresponding graphical component.

A method, system, and computer readable storage to implement an electronic puzzle mechanic. The mechanic enables a player to place pieces on a grid. The pieces can be rotated before placement. Upon forming a line, either horizontally or vertically, the pixels in the line are removed from the grid and the player earns both points and potentially credits.

An exemplary system, method, and computer-accessible medium for recommending a model(s), can include, for example, receiving a plurality of test models including the model(s), determining if each of the test models has at least one verifier associated therewith, and recommending the model(s) based on the determination. An indication of a stake associated with each of the test models can be received. The stake can be a financial stake or a reputation stake. The financial stake can be a cryptocurrency. At least one of the test models can be analyzed using a machine learning procedure, which can be a convolutional neural network or a recurrent neural network. At least one of the test models can be analyzed using an empirical Bayes procedure. A particular model can be removed if the particular model(s) does not have a verifier(s) associated therewith.

A method of conducting multiple competitions of skill for a single performance is described herein. User generated competition groups and system generated competition groups allow users to participate in multiple competitions at once based on answering the same questions or making the same selections related to a single event. The users are informed of each competition either via email, text message or when logging into the network via a website. The users select which competitions groups to join. After joining the desired groups, the users then make their selections related to the event which are transmitted to the network where results are tabulated and transmitted back to the users. The results are separated based on each competition group, so that users can continually know where they stand in each separate competition. With multiple competition groups, users are able to have varying success from the same performance in multiple competitions.

In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for generating an augmented reality environment. An application executing on a computing device may receive a real-time video feed. The application may present the real-time video feed on a display of the computing device. The application may identify an image on a physical token from the real-time video feed. The application may select an animation from a set of one or more animations based on the identified image. The application may add the animation to the real-time video feed at an animation position above the physical token. The application may present the real-time video feed with the added animation.

A system for presenting a skill-based game, the system includes at least one server to serve a set of matchups of participants of an event, to a plurality of presentation devices, the plurality of presentation devices displaying the set of matchups on a display; to receive over the wide area network data from the presentation devices characterizing a set of user selected winners of the matchups made by the users; update the event data pertinent to participants in the actual events; using the updated data to calculate and assign payoffs to the users based on fixed payoff odds. A related computer-implemented method provides participant matchups to an operator organizing such a skill-based game.

A gaming machine and method include a monetary input device, a user interface configured to: enable a player to select a wager for a game of chance having a skill-based activity, to interact with the game of chance using a gaming input device. A processor is programmed to enable the player to win a prize based at least in part on input from the gaming input device, and to set at least one parameter of the skill-based activity or the gaming input device to a first difficulty for winning the prize during a first game of a gaming session including a plurality of games, and to adjust the parameter to modify the difficulty to a second difficulty for winning the prize during a subsequent game of the gaming session to maintain a predetermined percentage or percentage range of money or credits returned to the player (RTP) during the gaming session.

A game that promotes abstract reasoning, problem solving, spatial reasoning, and time management may include use of particular game components, wherein the game components include a deck of cards; a random number generator; a random theme generator; a timer; and a card holder. The deck of cards may include a plurality of alphabet cards; a plurality of numerical cards; a plurality of bonus point cards; at least one universal symbol card; and at least one wild card. A separate deck may include at least one symbol card. The random theme generator may be a six sided dice, wherein each side of the dice has a theme marked thereon, the themes being: alpha, alpha number, alpha symbol, alpha number symbol, player choice, and dealer's choice. Playing the game may include manipulating a set of dealt cards to create words and phrases that correspond with a generated theme.

Systems and methods which operate in at least two modes, such as an arcade mode and a hybrid arcade/wagering mode.
