Frameworks and Methodologies for Delivering Electronic Gaming Machine User Interfaces Across Multiple Client Platforms

摘要

Described herein are frameworks and methodologies for delivering electronic gaming machine user interfaces across multiple client platforms. Embodiments of the invention have been particularly developed for providing electronic casino-type games across a range of client devices, including various forms of mobile device, computing devices, smart TVs, consoles, and the like. While some embodiments will be described herein with particular reference to that application, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to such a field of use, and is applicable in broader contexts.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method, performed by a client terminal, for providing a casino-type game at the client terminal, the method including:
defining a request to play a user-selected game at the client terminal; in response to the defining of the request, downloading, from a first remote server, a set of computer executable code that enables rendering of graphical user interface components for the user-selected game, wherein the set of computer executable code is identified based on (i) the user-selected game; and (ii) one or more characteristics of the client terminal; in response to a user interaction with a specific one or more of the rendered user interface components, defining upstream game performance data for transmission to a second remote server, thereby to enable a gameplay instance to be implemented at a remotely executing virtual gaming machine that provides the user-selected game; and providing graphical stimuli via one or more of the rendered user interface components in response to downstream game performance data received by the client terminal, the downstream game performance data being defined subject to completion of the gameplay instance once implemented at the remotely executing virtual gaming machine that provides the user-selected game.
