A gaming machine includes a processor, a video controller coupled to the processor, a display device coupled to the video controller, and an input device coupled to the processor and receiving an input from a player. The display device includes a rear display panel and a front display panel arranged between the player and the rear display panel, the front display panel including an electrochromic display panel that is spaced apart from the rear display panel in a viewing direction of the player. The video controller causes the display device to alternate between a first state for displaying a first image on the rear display panel and a second state for displaying a second image on the front display panel. In the first state, the video controller displays the first image on the rear display panel and causes the front display panel to be transparent, and in the second state, the video controller displays the second image on the rear display panel and causes the front display panel to be opaque.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a gaming system and method providing a plurality of different player-selectable wager alternatives if a credit balance of a player is less than a designated wager amount (such as a cost to cover a play of a wagering game or a maximum wager amount for the play of the wagering game) and greater than or equal to a lowest eligible credit balance (such as 1 credit). Generally, selecting one of the different wager alternatives when the player's remaining credit balance is less than the designated wager amount and greater than or equal to the lowest eligible wager amount enables the player to utilize the player's remaining credit balance (or any suitable portion thereof) in a manner that is different than, separate from, and in addition to wagering on one or more plays of the wagering game.

A multi-layer projection display including first and second panels separated by a predetermined distance, wherein at least a portion of the first panel overlaps at least a portion of the second panel, and the first panel is disposed between a viewing location and the second panel. The display also includes a controller configured to cause the first and second panels to alternate between substantially opaque and substantially transparent states at a determined frequency, such that the first panel is substantially opaque when the second panel is substantially transparent, and the second panel is substantially opaque when the first panel is substantially transparent. The display further includes a projector configured to project an image onto the first panel when the first panel is substantially opaque, and further configured to project the image onto the second panel when the second panel is substantially opaque.
