Disclosed are gaming systems, methods and machines that may include one or more notched display screens. The notched display screens are defined by a non-rectangular shape. One or more portions of the display screen is removed, such that a variety of shapes can result from one or more cuts in the screen. In some examples, two or more notched display screens are arranged to provide a common and/or coordinated display. In some examples, a void from the removed portions can be used to present a feature, such as a mechanical reel.

Electronic gaming machines with notched screens

Electronic gaming devices and other gaming equipment include, or are retrofitted with, ultraviolet ('UV') light sources to disinfect surfaces as well as hardware features and software features to manage UV disinfection cycles and report results of UV disinfection cycles.

Gaming machine

Gaming wheel display

In one aspect, an electronic gaming system is described. The electronic gaming system includes a plurality of electronic gaming machines (EGMs), the plurality of EGMs spaced apart from a central axis by a distance and defining an interior portion therebetween. The electronic gaming system also includes a flexible display device extending from the interior portion to an overhead position above the plurality of EGMs, the flexible display device including a plurality of flexible display panels, each flexible display panel of the plurality of flexible display panels controlled by at least one EGM of the plurality of EGMs.

Flexible display for use with one or more electronic gaming machines

A diagnostic system for electronic gaming machines (EGMs) includes a power supply, and a diagnostic device in electrical connection with the power supply, the diagnostic device configured for placement within a cabinet of an EGM. The diagnostic device includes an attachment device configured to couple the diagnostic device to the EGM, a sensor array including at least one sensor for sensing a condition associated with the EGM and configured to generate conditions data based on the sensed condition, a communications device configured to transmit the conditions data to a remote location, a memory configured to store the conditions data, and a processor configured to analyze the conditions data and determine a diagnostic evaluation based upon the analyzed conditions data.

Systems and methods for gaming machine diagnostic analysis

A gaming system () includes gaming locations () that each comprise an interactive communication unit (), including a displayvisible from the gaming location. A network () is arranged to transmit data between the communication units. A touch screen liquid crystal display () unrelated to the operation of a gaming machine () generates graphics images.

Gaming system customer service techniques

The present invention provides a system and method for an improved communications interface for a gaming machine. Certain embodiments of an improved gaming network include a gaming system including a communication interface, and a server providing at least one of an application, a service, and a status to the gaming system. The communication interface initiates communication with the server to transmit and/or receive information. The communication interface may allow games or other applications/services to be downloaded to the gaming system. In an embodiment, the communication interface facilitates voice over internet protocol communication, for example. The communication interface may also provide a secondary game at the gaming system and/or access to the Internet or other network, for example. In an embodiment, the communication interface facilitates purchase and/or confirmation of items and/or services at the gaming system. The communication interface may translate information to an appropriate protocol for the gaming system.
