The present disclosure relates generally to electronic systems, and more particularly, to systems, methods, and various other disclosures for conducting a spy game on a social network, allowing each player the opportunity to portray themselves as a spy. The objectives of the game is for (i) each player to play anonymously as all players are at least initially tasked with determining the truth or falsity of any new message post on a social network site; (ii) to increase his/her spy status and earn rewards (e.g. points or virtual currency); (iii) accumulate virtual wealth; and (iv) ultimately gain control of different players within different geographic regions around the world, a feat that is accomplished through gaining influence with each message post authored and/or responded to. Higher ranking spies are generally seeking to dethrone their competitors (other higher ranking spies) and/or reduce their competitor's wealth and influence.

An agent that may assist a service provider of gaming services with registering/signing up users, with accepting funds/money from a user and depositing these funds in a gaming account of the user for the user to play games with, and/or with receiving requests from a user to withdrawal funds from the user's account and paying the user the withdrawn funds. The agent may also assist a user in obtaining a report of an account of the user, the account being associated with a service provider that provides gaming services.

A method for gaming. The method including instantiating an instance of a video game at a local device of a spectator. Game state and user data of one or more players participating in a gaming session is received. Video frames are generated of live game play by the players using the game state and user data by executing the video game in the instance. Video frames are displayed for the live game play on a display of the spectator. A local game slice of the video game is generated for a sliced game play while executing the video game in the instance. The local game slice being responsive to inputs from a controller device of the spectator.

An approach to facilitating interface-based game-space contest generation is provided. A user interface may be provided to an administrator. The user interface may be configured to receive user inputs from the administrator that include one or more performance criteria to be associated with a contest to be provided in a game space, one or more awards to be distributed in association with the contest, and one or more qualifications to participate in the contest. A notification that relates to the contest may be provided, based on the user inputs, in the game space. Performance scores of users that participated in the contest may be determined based on the performance criteria and activities that are performed in the game space by the participating users. Automated distribution of the awards to individual ones of the participating users may be facilitated in accordance with the performance scores of the individual participating users.

A system and method of fuzz testing an on-line gaming system includes a host test bench system capable of generating a protocol template that can be used for identifying primitives in the data communications between a client device and the online gaming servers. The protocol template can then be used to identify primitives in initial communications between the client device and the online gaming servers and perform generation fuzz testing of those initial communications. The system also includes a game stream interceptor that can intercept streaming online gaming data in both directions between the client device and the online gaming system. The intercepted streaming online gaming data can be mutated to test the client device and the servers in the online gaming system.

Systems and methods for transfer of rights pertaining to game assets operate between users of an online gaming platform. Exemplary implementations may: tokenize a game asset into a tokenized game asset; record, on a distributed blockchain, ownership of a beneficiary right to a share resulting from selling the game asset; responsive to a sale of the game asset, transfer the share resulting from the sale to a first beneficiary; responsive to a transfer of ownership of a particular virtual item from the first beneficiary to a second beneficiary, and responsive to a second sale of the game asset, transferring a second share resulting from the second sale to the second beneficiary in accordance with the beneficiary right.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for dynamic quality of service (QoS) management for multi-player gaming. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for dynamic QoS management for multi-player gaming is provided. The method includes monitoring a multi-player game and detecting a game moment for a game player in the multi-player game. The method also includes determining a degree of sensitivity for the game moment and enhancing access to a computing resource of the game player in response to determining the game moment to be highly sensitive. In one aspect of the embodiment, the method additionally includes detecting a subsequent game moment for the game player in the multi-player game, determining a degree of sensitivity for the subsequent game moment, and reducing access to the computing resource of the game player in response to determining the game moment to be less sensitive.
