Patent Troll sues major casinos claiming networked progressive slot machines infringe its intellectual property.
MGT Capital Investments announced that its majority-owned subsidiary, MGT Gaming, had filed a massive lawsuit against casino companies Caesars Entertainment ( CZR ), MGM Resorts ( MGM ), WMS Gaming ( WMS ), Penn National Gaming ( PENN ), and Aruze Gaming America. MGT Gaming alleges that these companies infringed on its patent 7,892,088 related to networked slot machines with a shared-display bonusing event. Top-tier law firm Nixon & Vanderhye filed for MGT Gaming in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi.

I believe this is the same firm that represented Derek Webb in his 3CP lawsuits. These guys know the gaming IP legal landscape.
