Abstract: A gaming system including a central server linked to a plurality of gaming machines. In one embodiment, the gaming system provides players with one or more enhanced wagering opportunities. One enhanced wagering opportunity enables a player to continue playing one or more primary games at the maximum wager even if the player's continued play causes the gaming device's credit meter to fall below zero credits. In one such embodiment, after playing one or more maximum wager games which cause the credit meter to drop below zero, the player's player tracking account is utilized to cover any amount of credits the gaming device's credit meter is below zero.

Abstract: A gaming system including a number of host devices each coupled to one or more gaming machines, wherein content provided by the host device is output on the gaming machine. To output the content provided by the remote host, a host-controlled process that is authenticated by the gaming machine and executed in a secure memory location such that it is isolated from other processes executing on the gaming machine may be utilized. The host-controlled processes may be decoupled from the process used to execute the game of chance played on the gaming machine such that the content output by the host-controlled process doesn't alter the play of game of chance.
Abstract translation: 一种包括多个主机设备的游戏系统，每个主机设备耦合到一个或多个游戏机，其中主机设备提供的内容在游戏机上输出。 为了输出由远程主机提供的内容，可以使用由游戏机认证并在安全存储器位置中执行以使得其与在游戏机上执行的其他进程隔离的主机控制进程。 主机控制的进程可以与用于执行在游戏机上玩的机会游戏的过程分离，使得由主机控制的进程输出的内容不会改变机会游戏的游戏。

Abstract: By awarding bonuses during predetermined bonus periods, gaming establishments can exercise greater control over bonus wins and, in doing so, can create player excitement and increase play during historically off-peak times, realizing greater revenue for the casino. The time based bonus begins when a maximum time for the bonus period is selected and divided into time increments, with each time increment having its own weight. A winning increment is randomly selected and a bonus is awarded when the time increment has been reached.
Abstract translation: 通过在预定的奖金期间奖励奖金，游戏机构可以更好地控制奖金，并且在这样做时可以创造玩家兴奋，并在历史高峰时期增加游戏，实现赌场的更多收入。 当奖金期间的最大时间被选择并分为时间增量时，基于时间的奖金开始，每个时间增量都有自己的权重。 随机选择获胜增量，并在达到时间增量时奖励。

Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking RFID gaming chips at a gaming table are disclosed. Gaming chips include an outer body with center and rim portions, and a plurality of RFID tags contained within the outer body. Signals from gaming chip RFID tags can be encrypted only for readers having an appropriate private key, and can be subject to a variable time delay unique to each RFID tag. Separate RFID tags within one gaming chip can be identical for security purposes, and to increase “visibility” to associated RFID readers at the gaming table. Security breach components within RFID tags can reduce or prevent unauthorized writing or tampering attempts to an RFID gaming chip. Further system components include a gaming table and a plurality of RFID reading devices distributed thereabout, including transponders and antennae. Such RFID reading devices are disposed beneath an upper surface of the gaming table in a grid-like fashion.
