International Classification:

A63F 9/24

US Classification:

463 11

Abstract:

Described are casino games that incorporate a player's physical dexterity into gameplay, thus adding a physical skill component to a game, beyond any mental skill components the underlying games already posses. Similarly to the manner in which a player's knowledge of a game's rules and strategies allows the player to increase their chance of winning traditional casino games, the dexterity, or skill based games allow the player to increase their chance of winning by performing game-oriented physical tasks. Examples of games with this feature are a poker game where a player shoots a game gun at a display device to add cards to their hand in hopes of forming a winning hand, and a three dimensional mahjong game where a player rotates a tile structure to find and removing matching tiles in order to increase their score.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are described for dynamically generating contextual interactives. In various aspects, the content of web page can be analyzed to determine one or more semantic rules associated with the web page. The semantic rules can include the keywords or the entities of the webpage, which can be used to define a context type for the web page. The context type for the web page can include, for example, a financial context type, an entertainment context type, a sports context type, a technical products context type, or any other context type associated with a web page or news article that appears within a web page. A contextual interactive may then be generated based on the context type for the web page. The contextual interactive may then be embedded within the web page such that the contextual interactive is operable to allow a user to interact with the contextual interactive.
