A system includes a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory includes machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to initiate a virtual play session of a virtual table game for a player of the virtual table game, the virtual table game comprising a dealer avatar. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to determine whether a player status of the player meets a predetermined threshold. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to, based on the player status meeting the predetermined threshold, associate the dealer avatar with a live dealer to control the dealer avatar. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to, based on the player status failing to meet the predetermined threshold, associate the dealer avatar with a software bot to autonomously control the dealer avatar.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to facilitating access to assets in a virtual and/or real-life gaming environment. For example, allocating assets in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment can comprise providing, to a VR user device, a representation of a virtual casino including a virtual asset, receiving, from the VR user device, a request to utilize the virtual asset, and performing a validation process on the request to utilize the virtual asset. In response to successful completion of the validation process, an electronic record associated with the virtual asset can be updated to indicate allocation of the virtual asset to a user of the VR user device. For example, allocating the virtual asset to the user of the VR user device can comprise allowing an avatar for the user to sit at a virtual gaming machine in the virtual casino.

Methods and systems for virtual gaming asset allocation

An electronic gaming machine includes a cabinet, a display mounted to the cabinet, a wireless interface for communicating with a portable electronic device, a network interface for communicating with a validation server, a bill validator coupled to a game controller configured to accept bills and printed ticket vouchers, and a removable cash box. The game controller includes a processor and a memory configured to control a wager-based game played on the EGM, redeem virtual ticket vouchers and printed ticket vouchers, receive an indication to transfer value to the EGM via a virtual ticket voucher, receive the virtual ticket voucher including a virtual ticket voucher validation number from the portable electronic device via the wireless interface, validate the virtual ticket voucher with the validation server via the network interface, deposit a credit amount associated with the virtual ticket voucher, and notify the validation server that the virtual ticket voucher is redeemed.
