Definitions

  • EGMs Electronic gaming machines
  • games such as mechanical spinning reel games, video spinning reel games, video poker games, roulette games, keno games and other types of wagering games that are commonly deployed at a casino for use by players.
  • Playing a particular EGM requires the player to physically sit at the machine and place a wager on the outcome of the game. The player then interacts with the game during the game cycle to make selections as directed for different options until the game cycle ends with the game outcome being selected and displayed to the player. If the outcome is a winner, the player receives an award corresponding to the outcome.
  • the publication provides a description of an EGM configured to receive at least game outcomes from a remote device (server) where the EGM itself does not use a random number generator (“RNG”) to generate game outcomes locally.
  • the game outcomes are instead generated remotely (from the server) in response to inputs made on the mobile device such as an input indicating a wager amount and/or an input to initiate the game.
  • the wager amount or initiation information can be sent from the mobile device to a remote device such as from a mobile gaming device to a server.
  • a game presentation for the game outcomes generated remotely can be generated and displayed on the mobile device.
  • the game presentation can also be generated remotely (from the server) and then streamed for display to the mobile device.
  • the prior art fails to show the use of a mobile device to remotely control an EGM where control may be switched between: (a) local control of the EGM by a player physically present at the EGM interacting with the EGM through the inputs on the EGM; and (b) remote control of the EGM by a player using a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet computing device.
  • the present invention provides a system and method that allows for switching of control between local operation of the EGM and remote operation of an EGM from a mobile device.
