System and method for implementing a lottery game
The present disclosure relates generally to a gaming device that facilitates user interactions with multiple games. Illustratively, a method of facilitating a lottery game is provided that includes receiving, from a gaming device, an indication of an outcome of a game that was executed by the gaming device, identifying a user of the gaming device when the outcome of the game occurred, then assigning a lottery number to the user of the gaming device for a next execution of the lottery game, where the lottery number is selected based on the outcome of the game.
METHOD OF GAMING, A GAMING SYSTEM AND A GAME CONTROLLER
A gaming machine having a display to display symbols at a plurality of display positions and a plurality of prize identifiers. The gaming machine also includes a game controller to cause a display to display a plurality of symbols at the display positions and visually moves a number of a plurality of prize identifiers at a first speed. If a trigger condition occurs with the displayed symbols, the game controller selects a prize identifier of the prize identifiers to be upgraded while visually moving the selected prize identifier being upgraded at a second speed onto the display. The game controller completes the upgrading on the display while the selected prize identifier is being displayed.
Systems and methods for providing ultraviolet sterilization, disinfection and decontamination of gaming machines and associated equipment
Systems and methods for providing ultraviolet (UV) sterilization, disinfection and decontamination of electronic gaming machines (EGMs), gaming chips, dice, playing cards, currency, TITO tickets, etc. The ultraviolet sterilization, disinfection and decontamination may include a singular or plurality of UV lamps of any type or style or UV LEDs or RGB-UV LEDs or any type or style of UV LEDs of at least such wavelengths to be effective in at least partially reducing or eliminating viruses or the like. The UV sources are mounted on, in or proximate to a variety of gaming devices or equipment such as EGMs, mechanical gaming machines, chip trays, chippers, dice holders, automatic card shufflers, bill validators, currency counting devices, currency dispensing devices, printers, magnetic card readers, playing card and currency sterilization, disinfection or decontamination storage mechanisms, ATMs, redemption machines, promotional kiosks, etc., or similar devices used in other industries.
APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING RATE OF PLAY AT A GAMING MACHINE
A method of controlling a gaming machine according includes causing a video display system of the gaming machine to display a number of activation icons. Each of the activation icons includes a respective activation value so that the number of activation icons define a activation value range from a minimum activation value to a relatively higher maximum activation value. The method further includes receiving a activation selection input that selects one of the activation icons to place the activation value included in the selected activation icon as a activation for an activation of the gaming machine. In response to the activation selection input and under control of a result generating processing system associated with the gaming machine, a result for the activation is obtained and, where the result is a winning result, the video display system is caused to display the result obtained for the activation selection input in a numerical prize graphic comprising a static numerical value.
System and Method of Combining a Lottery Game and a Table Game
A system combining a lottery game and a table games includes a plurality of different table games each having a plurality of player positions. A plurality of interface assemblies is provided and each table game has one of the interface assemblies. Each of the interface assemblies is programmed to receive one or more betting units from each of the plurality of player positions and associating the betting units with each player position submitting the betting units. A database is in communication with each of the interface assemblies. The database is programed to tally the betting units and form a pool of the betting units. The database is programmed to randomly select one of the betting units to define a winning bet and communicating the winning bet and the pool to at least the interface assembly positioned on the table game associated with the player position having the winning bet.

A temperature stimulation unit according to one or more embodiments may include a cover, a case including a top portion with an opening, and a control board. The case may include a bottom portion and a side portion having a through-hole. The bottom portion and the side portion may define a clearance at least with the control board.
GAMING MACHINE AND METHOD WITH MULTIPLE GAME MODES
A group of gaming machines, method, and program product are provided for operating in two gaming modes. In response to a mode change event received over the network, the mode of gaming machines in the group changes from a first gaming mode to a second gaming mode including a meter displayed by the display system and a different paytable for the game than the first gaming mode. A level of the respective meter for each gaming machine in the group is reduced based on the time spent in the second gaming mode. A bonus event trigger activates a bonus feature for the respective gaming machine including at least one bonus prize, and in response to the bonus outcome at the respective gaming machine, meter level is decreased at each gaming machine in the group. The second game mode ends when the meter reaches a defined lowest level.
