Abstract
A method and system comprises integrating a contest framework into a game. The contest framework at least comprises means for communicating with a transactional server, a plurality of listeners being configured to monitor interactions during a play of the game for communication to the transactional server, and means for displaying notifications from the transactional server. The transactional server is at least configured for processing received interactions in conjunction with a progressive jackpot contest associated with the game and communicating notifications regarding the processing to the contest framework. A communicating with the transactional server at least comprises associating the game with a progressive jackpot contest and setting parameters for the progressive jackpot contest.
Claims21
A method comprising the steps of:
- providing a software-development kit (SDK) for integration into a first game, the SDK implementing a contest framework into a first game, said SDK configured to:
- (i) communicate with a transactional server, (ii) monitor interactions during a play of said first game via a plurality of listeners, wherein the SDK is operable to communicate at least some of the monitored interactions to said transactional server, the plurality of listeners comprising a collection of nested interfaces embedded within the SDK configured to monitor the interactions associated with the first game and communicate information associated with the monitored interactions to the transactional server, and (iii) display notifications from said transactional server;
- and
- providing said transactional server, said transactional server configured to:
- manage a plurality of jackpot contests associated with a plurality of different games, each particular game associated with a unique application programming interface (API) key corresponding to at least one particular jackpot contest associated with the particular game, each particular jackpot contest associated with a defined contest time period during which the transactional server is configured to receive a non-limited number of contest attempts from a non-limited number of players for the particular jackpot contest, wherein each particular jackpot contest is completed at the end of the defined contest time period associated with the particular jackpot contest;
- process received interactions from the plurality of listeners in conjunction with at least one jackpot contest associated with said first game based on the at least one particular unique API keys associated with the received interactions;
- communicate notifications regarding said processing to said SDK;
- and
- automatically update results associated with the particular jackpot contest in response to receiving the information on the monitored interactions.

A system comprising:
- a software-development kit (SDK) for integration into a first game, the SDK implementing a contest framework into the first game, the SDK executable by at least one hardware processor, the SDK configured to:
- communicate with a transaction server;
- monitor interactions during a play of said first game via a plurality of listeners, wherein the SDK is configured to communicate at least some of the monitored interactions to said transactional server, the plurality of listeners comprising a collection of nested interfaces embedded within the SDK configured to monitor the interactions associated with the first game and communicate information associated with the monitored interactions to the transactional server;
- and
- display notifications from said transactional server;
- and
- the transactional server executed by at least one hardware processor, the transactional server configured to:
- manage a plurality of jackpot contests associated with a plurality of different games, each particular game associated with a unique application programming interface (API) key corresponding to at least one particular jackpot contest associated with the particular game, each particular jackpot contest associated with a defined contest time period during which the transactional server is configured to receive a non-limited number of contest attempts from a non-limited number of players for the particular jackpot contest, wherein each particular jackpot contest is completed at the end of the defined contest time period associated with the particular jackpot contest;
- process received interactions from the plurality of listeners in conjunction with at least one jackpot associated with said first game with said integrated SDK based on the at least one particular unique API keys associated with the received interactions;
- communicate notifications regarding said processing to said SDK;
- and
- automatically update results associated with the particular jackpot contest in response to receiving the information on the monitored interactions.
