A virtualization system is that comprises a display configured to display a representation of a real-world gaming area with physical objects. A user selects and adds one or more virtual electronic gaming machines (EGMs) to the gaming area representation to generate a mixed reality gaming area. Each virtual EGM added to the mixed reality gaming area can be moved to a desired location and rotated to a desired orientation. Each virtual EGM added to the to the mixed reality gaming area is also shown implementing a game that may also be selected by the user. The user is provided with a representation on the tablet computer of the mixed reality gaming area that includes the specific EGMs implementing the specific game, where the specific EGMs can be added or replaced at one or more virtual locations.

A gaming system and method that provides a changing pattern matching award feature in a gaming environment, which includes a plurality of different patterns that are independently and randomly selectable and displayable by the gaming system during a series of plays of one or more games via one or more electronic gaming machines or other devices of the gaming system or configured to operate with the gaming system.

An improved gaming machine comprising a display screen, a processor, and an input device. The gaming machine displays on the display screen a gaming interface presenting an entertaining display and a summary window comprising a limited view of variables related to participants in multiple events. The gaming machine may conduct wagering on past events for a player, conducting a wager including the processor accessing a database to automatically retrieve data about one or more events in the past and included multiple participants. The data may include both a final ranking of the participants in the events and listings of features of the participants in the events, which may be displayed in the summary window.

A quarantine wallet associated with a user account that support funds to be quarantined for a defined period. A user account server determines that a respective win amount satisfies one or more funds quarantine criteria and removes at least a portion of the win amount satisfying the one or more funds quarantine criteria from access by one or more wallets associated with a user account. The user account server stores the removed portion of the win amount as a quarantined fund amount in a quarantine wallet associated with the user account. The user account server sets a release time for the quarantined funds amount in the quarantine wallet and performs a transfer of the quarantined funds amount to the one or more wallets based on satisfying the release time.

A gaming device comprises a processor, a credit input device, a credit meter, a win meter, a bank meter, and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to generate a game outcome, add any win amount resulting from the game outcome to the win meter to establish a win meter balance, upon a win amount added to the win meter satisfying the automatic bank condition, transfer the win meter balance to the bank meter, and upon a residual credit balance of the credit meter being below a desired wager amount corresponding to a desired player selection for a subsequent game after transfer of the win meter balance to the bank meter, conduct a random trial having a probability of success proportional to a ratio of the residual credit balance to the desired wager amount to determine whether to conduct the subsequent game using the desired player selection.

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.

A system is disclosed for providing array-based games reflecting the performance of participants in sporting events. The array-based games include skill-based games and event bingo games. The skill based games depend on selecting prospective winners that match actual winners based on real events. The event bingo games provide bingo cards with randomized numbers associated with each position on the card. Winning cards are the first cards that match the randomized numbers with another set of randomized numbers to form a game ending patterns of matches. The system includes at least one server having a processor configured to execute machine-readable code. The processor is configured to cause the server to create and provide a set of array-based games to the plurality of presentation devices of the users, which each present the set of games on a respective display, each game of the set having an assigned fixed odds payout. The server receives, over the wide area network, data from the presentation devices of the users. The server updates the event data pertinent to participants in the actual events associated with the array-based games. The server uses the updated data to calculate and assign payoffs to the users based on the fixed payoff odds.

A gaming machine includes a base, a columnar pedestal extending vertically from the base, and a button deck adjustably coupled to the pedestal. The button deck includes an upper surface including a transparent touchscreen element, a lower surface opposite the upper surface, and a button deck body extending therebetween. At least one of the lower surface and the body include one or more transparent display elements, the one or more transparent display elements are configured to generate images of gaming machine control actuators viewable on the upper surface. The transparent touchscreen element is configured to receive touches and gestures indicating control inputs. The gaming machine also includes a player tracking card reader positioned within the button deck and accessible through a slot in a front edge of the button deck, the player tracking card reader communicatively coupled to a player tracking display area of the gaming machine.

A gaming machine includes a video display mounting configuration, such as for mounting a secondary video display to a base cabinet having a first or primary video display. The mounting comprises connectors on a display frame which drop into mounts of a display support. The mounting may include a locking mechanism. An alignment configuration is also provided, such as for aligning different gaming machine components such as two video displays and/or light rings, trim or the like, relative to one another in three dimensions.

A gaming system, gaming device, and method using a deck of cards containing statistics and identifying information from real-world sports players is described. The cards in the deck may contain the player scores for a set of games or matches as well as other player-related information. The gaming system and device randomly generate a hand and randomly select one of the player's pre-determined scores for each of the cards. The user's score may be determined through a variety of methods utilizing the player scores on the cards in the user's hand. The outcome of the user's hand may be determined by matching the user's score with a pay table, or for a multi-user game, the outcome may be determined by finding the highest scorer among the participating users.
