Online/Mobile Gaming Patent issues to Gamiker, Inc.
US Patent No. 10,147,263 issued to Gamiker, Inc., a game studio located in Pasadena, California. The ‘263 Patent is directed to an online and mobile game which combines skill and chance elements. The game involves the display of a grid of moveable tiles in which a particular movement of one or more tiles in a grid of tiles triggers a wagering event. The wagering event may have an ultimate outcome determined by a combination of a randomly-generated, chance-based outcome and a skill-based outcome. In one example, the randomly-generated outcome is determined by a random number generator and the skill-based outcome is determined by the relative value or score associated with the movement of the tiles that triggered the wagering event.
