Distributing information in a wagering game system
View Patent ↗The patent application describes techniques for distributing information in a wagering game system. One method includes identifying one or more components to notify about events occurring in a wagering game system, where the one or more components facilitate secondary wagering games. The method can also include detecting the events, where some of the events arise from presenting primary wagering games. The method can also include reporting the events to the one or more components. The method can also include determining results for one or more of the secondary wagering games; and transmitting the results for presentation.
1. A method comprising:
detecting, in a wagering game server, a first winning event associated with a first wagering game appearing on a remote wagering game terminal, wherein the first wagering game is for a single player, wherein the first winning event indicates a first monetary award, and wherein a first credit meter is associated with the first wagering game;
detecting, in the wagering game server, a second winning event associated with a second wagering game, wherein the second wagering game appears on the remote wagering terminal during a portion of the first wagering game, wherein the second wagering game is for the single player, wherein the second winning event indicates a second monetary award, and wherein a second credit meter is associated with the second wagering game and not associated with the first wagering game;
transmitting, to an account server, indications of the first monetary award and the second monetary award;
receiving, from the account server, new values for the first credit meter and the second credit meter, wherein the first credit meter and second credit meter appear on the remote wagering game terminal; and
transmitting content to display the new values on the remote wagering game terminal.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first credit meter indicates wagers made and wagers won for the first wagering game, and wherein the second credit meter indicates wagers made and wagers won for the second wagering game.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content includes the new values.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the accounting server determines the new values.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the remote wagering game terminal includes components for processing the content and displaying the new values.
6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device including instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
detecting, in a wagering game server, a first winning event associated with a first wagering game appearing on a remote wagering game terminal, wherein the first wagering game is for a single player, wherein the first winning event indicates a first monetary award, and wherein a first credit meter is associated with the first wagering game;
detecting, in the wagering game server, a second winning event associated with a second wagering game, wherein the second wagering game appears on the remote wagering terminal during a portion of the first wagering game, wherein the second wagering game is for the single player, wherein the second winning event indicates a second monetary award, and wherein a second credit meter is associated with the second wagering game and not associated with the first wagering game;
transmitting, to an account server, indications of the first monetary award and the second monetary award;
receiving, from the account server, new values for the first credit meter and the second credit meter, wherein the first credit meter and second credit meter appear on the remote wagering game terminal; and
transmitting content to display the new values on the remote wagering game terminal.
7. The tangible computer-readable storage device of claim 6 , wherein the first credit meter indicates wagers made and wagers won for the first wagering game, and wherein the second credit meter indicates wagers made and wagers won for the second wagering game.
8. The tangible computer-readable storage device of claim 6 , wherein the content includes the new values.
9. The tangible computer-readable storage device of claim 6 , wherein the accounting server determines the new values.
10. The tangible computer-readable storage device of claim 6 , wherein the remote wagering game terminal includes components for processing the content and displaying the new values.
11. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor;
at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device including program code, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
operations to detect, in a wagering game server, a first winning event associated with a first wagering game appearing on a remote wagering game terminal, wherein the first wagering game is for a single player, wherein the first winning event indicates a first monetary award, and wherein a first credit meter is associated with the first wagering game;
operations to detect, in the wagering game server, a second winning event associated with a second wagering game, wherein the second wagering game appears on the remote wagering terminal during a portion of the first wagering game, wherein the second wagering game is for the single player, wherein the second winning event indicates a second monetary award, and wherein a second credit meter is associated with the second wagering game and not associated with the first wagering game;
operations to transmit, to an account server, indications of the first monetary award and the second monetary award;
operations to receive, from the account server, new values for the first credit meter and the second credit meter, wherein the first credit meter and second credit meter appear on the remote wagering game terminal; and
operations to transmit content to display the new values on the remote wagering game terminal.
12. The apparatus device of claim 10 , wherein the first credit meter indicates wagers made and wagers won in the first wagering game, and wherein the second credit meter indicates wagers made and wagers won in the second wagering game.
13. The apparatus device of claim 10 , wherein the content includes the new values.
14. The apparatus device of claim 10 , wherein the accounting server determines the new values.
15. The apparatus device of claim 10 , wherein the remote wagering game terminal includes components for processing the content and displaying the new values.
