BLOCKCHAIN AND MULTI-LEVEL NON-FUNGIBLE TOKEN SOLUTIONS INTEGRATED IN A GAMING SYSTEM
Systems and methods are provided for gaming solutions across different gaming channels, different entities, and different environments using blockchain and/or non-fungible token (NFT) components and/or functionality. In an embodiment, multi-level NFTs may be awarded as part of game play in one or more game channels, with each subsequently awarded NFT having a level and associated value higher than its predecessor. The multi-level NFT's may be controlled by a smart contract designed to allow the use of the multi-level NFT's in ways that minimize changes to existing gaming regulations.
1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:
via a computing system:
pairing a user computing device associated with a player with a first gaming device;
executing, via the first gaming device, a first gaming session;
in response to a first predetermined outcome resulting from execution of the first gaming session, recording, by the computing system, via one or more blocks on a blockchain, data descriptive of a first transaction awarding ownership of a first multi-level non-fungible token to the player;
pairing the user computing device associated with the user with a second gaming device;
executing, via the second gaming device, a second gaming session; and
in response to a second predetermined outcome resulting from execution of the second game session, recording, via one or more additional blocks on the blockchain, data descriptive of a second transaction both canceling the player's ownership of the first multi-level non-fungible token and awarding ownership of a second multi-level non-fungible token to the player,
wherein a level associated with the second multi-level non-fungible token exceeds a level associated with the first multi-level non-fungible gaming token.
2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the awarding and cancellation of the player's ownership of the first multi-level non-fungible token and the awarding of the player's ownership of the second multi-level non-fungible token is controlled by a smart contract.
3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first game session comprises at least one gameplay of a first game executed via the first gaming device and the second game session comprises at least one gameplay of a second game executed via the second gaming device.
4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the first game and the second game have at least one of a same game title, a same mathematical model or a same return-to-player.
5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the first game and the second game differ in at least one aspect of game title, mathematical model or return-to-player.
6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the first game and the second game have the same cost-to-jackpot.
7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first gaming device comprises at least one of a physical gaming device, a metaverse gaming device, an electronic gaming device, or a computer-based gaming device.
8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein the second gaming device comprises at least one of a physical gaming device, a metaverse gaming device, an electronic gaming device, or a computer-based gaming device.
9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first gaming device is associated with a first gaming environment, the first gaming environment comprising at least one of a first physical gaming environment, a first metaverse gaming environment, or a first computer-based gaming environment.
10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the second gaming device is associated with a second gaming environment, the second gaming environment comprising at least one of a second physical gaming environment, a second metaverse gaming environment, or a second computer-based gaming environment.
11 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising sending a message to a blockchain platform to record, on a blockchain of the blockchain platform, at least one of the first transaction or the second transaction.
12 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:
via a computing system:
executing, via a first gaming device, a first gaming session;
in response to a first predetermined outcome resulting from execution of the first gaming session, displaying a first scannable code representing a first multi-level non-fungible token;
upon receiving, via a scanner, scanned data from the first scannable code, recording, via one or more blocks on a blockchain, data descriptive of a first transaction awarding ownership of the first multi-level non-fungible token to the player;
executing, via a second gaming device, a second gaming session;
in response to a second predetermined outcome resulting from execution of the second gaming session, displaying a second scannable code representing a second multi-level non-fungible token; and
upon receiving, via the scanner, scanned data from the second scannable code, recording, via one or more additional blocks on the blockchain, data descriptive of a second transaction both canceling the player's ownership of the first multi-level non-fungible token and awarding ownership of the second multi-level non-fungible token to the player,
wherein a level associated with the second multi-level non-fungible token exceeds a level associated with the first multi-level non-fungible gaming token.
13 . The computer implemented method of claim 12 , wherein the awarding and cancellation of the player's ownership of the first multi-level non-fungible token and the awarding of the player's ownership of the second multi-level non-fungible token is controlled by a smart contract.
14 . The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein the first gaming session comprises at least one gameplay of a first game executed via the first gaming device and the second gaming session comprises at least one gameplay of a second game executed via the second gaming device.
15 . The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the first game and the second game have at least one of a same game title, a same mathematical model or a same return-to-player.
16 . The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the first game and the second game differ in at least one aspect of game title, mathematical model or return-to-player.
17 . The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , wherein the first game and the second game have the same cost-to-jackpot.
18 . The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein the first gaming device comprises at least one of a physical gaming device, a metaverse gaming device, an electronic gaming device, or a computer-based gaming device.
19 . The computer-implemented method of claim 18 , wherein the first gaming device is associated with a first gaming environment, the first gaming environment comprising at least one of a first physical gaming environment, a first metaverse gaming environment, or a first computer-based gaming environment.
20 . The computer-implemented method of claim 18 , wherein the second gaming device comprises at least one of a physical gaming device, a metaverse gaming device, an electronic gaming device, or a computer-based gaming device.
21 . The computer-implemented method of claim 20 , wherein the second gaming device is associated with a second gaming environment, the second gaming environment comprising at least one of a second physical gaming environment, a second metaverse gaming environment, or a second computer-based gaming environment.
22 . The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising sending a message to a blockchain platform to record, on a blockchain of the blockchain platform, at least one of the first transaction or the second transaction.
