Wagering game systems, methods and associated operations are described herein. The operations can include presenting one or more browsers on display device. A browser area can be presented in at least a portion of at least one browser. An ownership of the browser area can be determined. The browser area can be customized in accordance with the ownership of the browser area.

Controlling wagering game system browser areas

A wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In embodiments, the operations can those for moving an object across a plurality of browsers on a display device of a wagering game machine. The method can include presenting a first browser area and a second browser area on the display device, and presenting the object in the first browser area, wherein the object is owned by a first player account. The method can include detecting, by the wagering game machine, player input directing movement of the object toward the second browser, and moving the object from the first browser area to the second browser on the display device, in response to the player input. The method can also include transferring ownership of the object from the first player account to a second player account, in response to moving the object to the second browser.

Gaming devices, gaming systems, methods of conducting wagering games, and computer programs for operating wagering game machines are disclosed. A gaming machine for conducting a wagering game is disclosed. The gaming machine includes a first display device that is configured to display aspects of the wagering game. The first display device includes a touchscreen configured to receive user inputs. The gaming machine also includes a second display device that is configured to display a plurality of user-selectable elements. The second display device is further configured to display a selection mechanism in response to a first user input received from a user via the touchscreen of the first display device. The second display device is also configured, in response to a second user input received from the user via the touchscreen of the first display device, to display the selection mechanism selecting at least one of the displayed user-selectable elements.

Systems, methods, and devices for operating wagering game machines with enhanced user interfaces

A wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In some embodiments, the operations can include initiating, at a wagering game server, a secondary game for presentation on a wagering game machine. The secondary game may be associated with a primary wagering game being presented on the wagering game machine. The operations can also include detecting that the secondary game becomes unavailable for play while the secondary game is being presented on the wagering game machine, and determining identification information associated with a player of the primary wagering game and the secondary game. The operations can further include generating results for the secondary game associated with the player after the secondary game is available for play, and providing an award, depending on the secondary game results, to the player using the identification information.

Dynamic management of wagering game availability

A wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In embodiments, the operations can include presenting one or more browsers on a shared wagering game display and presenting a graphical image of an object on the shared display in a first area of the one or more browsers. The first area of the one or more browsers is assigned to a wagering game system user account. The operations can further include detecting a player input that initiates a movement of the graphical image of the object along a trajectory toward a second area of the one or more browsers on the shared display. The operations can also include causing the graphical image of the object to move along the trajectory across the shared display from the first area to the second area.

Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to receive operational power from a primary power supply at a processor housed within a wagering game machine, where the processor is operable to present a wagering game. Further activities may include determining that the wagering game machine is currently in a hibernation state, authenticating at least one hibernation file, and resuming operation of the wagering game machine to a base operation state defined by the at least one hibernation file. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Wagering game machine hibernation

A computerized wagering game system includes a gaming module comprising gaming code which is operable when executed on to conduct a wagering game on which monetary value can be wagered. The system is coupled to at least one external sign assembly via a sign server, the external sign comprising one or more speakers. The wagering game system provides a volume control interface operable to allow a user of the wagering game system to control the volume of the one or more speakers comprising a part of the external sign assembly via the sign server.
