An electronic gaming device is described. The electronic gaming device includes a display device, a base, and a moveable coupling mechanism configured to couple the display device to the base and facilitate movement of the display device along an arcuate path and relative to the base between a first position and a second position wherein in the first position the display device is held in an upright position and in the second position the display device is held in a lowered position.

Adjustable electronic gaming device and associated systems and methods

A gaming machine, system and method providing variable position display capable of display movement and an extendable screen responsive to gaming conditions. The gaming machine includes a cabinet, a variable position display, an extendable display screen, and a controller. The variable position display rotates, tilts, pans, or some combination of translation, rotation, tilting and panning, in relation to the cabinet and in response to at least one or more predefined gaming conditions. The controller initiates a movement sequence movement of the variable position display, from a first position to a second position, and initiates the game program tailored to retractably extend the extendable display screen with respect to the cabinet relatively to the movement of the variable position display, and present the game and game outcomes of the game on the variable position display in the second position.

Gaming systems, methods, and machines provided herein may include dynamic displays in which sets of movable display units are arranged such that movable display units of each set are translatable along corresponding non-parallel first axes.

Electronic gaming machine with dynamic display

A gaming system includes at least one processor configured to: receive, from a mobile computing device of a player, a digital image of the player captured during a gaming session of an electronic game; analyze the digital image using facial expression analysis techniques to determine a current emotional state of the player; categorize the current emotional state of the player, the categorizing includes a first state representing a desired emotional level; and transmit instructions to the mobile gaming device causing the mobile computing device to initiate a game session action during the gaming session when the current emotional state is not the desired emotional level, the game session action is configured to cause the player to transition to the desired emotional level.

Gaming machine and method for evaluating player reactions

An electronic gaming system including a casino management server and an electronic casino device is described. The electronic casino device includes a beacon configured to wirelessly communicate with end user devices (EUDs) of players and a processor. The processor executes instructions which cause the processor to transmit a request for a custom beacon ID, receive the custom beacon ID, and cause the beacon to wirelessly transmit the custom beacon ID to the EUD. The casino management server is configured to receive a connection request and validate that the received beacon ID matches the custom beacon ID. The casino management server is further configured to receive instructions from the EUD such that the player plays a game operated on the electronic casino device by physically interacting with the EUD, wherein the instructions received from the EUD include a low-bandwidth instruction including no more than two bytes.

Systems and methods for securely connecting an electronic gaming machine to an end user device

Innovations in game design features of an electronic gaming device are presented. A progressive jackpot is associated with an escrow. At least a portion of the escrow can be applied to a reset amount for the progressive jackpot. The amount of escrow applied to the reset amount can vary, such as based on a current escrow value. The progressive jackpot can be associated with an increment rate and an escrow rate. The increment rate or the escrow rate may vary based on one or more parameters, including one or more game parameters. Game parameters can include game output parameters, such as a coin out amount, a number of games played, a handpay amount, or a number of players actively engaged in game play with a particular progressive jackpot. Changes in how escrow is applied, or how increment or escrow rates are determined, can be based on time periods or events.

Systems, apparatus, and related methods for implementing services over a plurality of gaming devices in a mesh network. A plurality of gaming devices are situated in a mesh network. A gaming device includes, a client processing module configured to provide play of one or more games of chance, and a mesh network interface configured to provide communications with a further one or more gaming devices. A gaming device also includes a server processing module configured to receive and transmit service data via the mesh network. The service data is independent of game play data for wagering on a game of chance at one or more of the gaming devices. The service data is capable of being stored at a gaming device and at the further one or more gaming devices to provide a level of redundant storage of the service data.

Ultra-thick gaming device

A gaming system used in a wager-based electronic gaming machine is described. The gaming system is configured to provide picture in a picture capabilities on the electronic gaming machine. In one embodiment, the gaming system can include a first gaming device and a second gaming device where the first gaming device controls the second gaming device. The first gaming device can be configured to receive data and/or communicate with an electronic gaming machine controller, a value input device and value output device. The second gaming device can be configured to receive touchscreen data from a touchscreen display and first video data from the first gaming device and second video data from the EGM controller. Under control of the first gaming device, the first video data and second video data can be output in various sizes and locations on the touchscreen display.

In an embodiment of a gaming method, an identifier may be received from a first gaming unit, wherein the identifier is associated with a tournament game card, wherein the tournament game card is provided to a player in response to paying a fee. Whether the identifier received from the first gaming unit is authentic may be determined. A duration the player may play in a tournament may be determined based on the identifier, and the first gaming unit may be enabled for play in the tournament for the duration if the identifier is authentic. A tournament score of the player may be received, and a winning player of the tournament, if any, may be determined. Data indicative of a value payout to be awarded to the winning player may be generated if the winning player of the tournament is determined.

A method of connecting a wireless device to an electronic gaming machine is described. The method includes broadcasting, though a wireless transceiver of the gaming machine, a discovery message to wireless communication devices within a broadcast range of the wireless transceiver. The method further includes receiving, at the wireless transceiver, a response message from the wireless device. The method includes establishing, by the gaming machine, a wireless connection between the wireless device and the gaming machine. The method further includes requesting, by the gaming machine, a player identification and player preferences of a user of the wireless device. The method includes receiving, from the wireless device, the player identification and player preferences of the user. The method further includes broadcasting, through the wireless transceiver, an audio message customized for the user to the wireless device.

Apparatus and methods for wireless gaming communications

A disclosed a player tracking unit provides a touch screen display with a touch screen controller integrated into the touch screen sensor assembly.
