Abstract
An electronic gaming machine includes a cabinet, at least one mechanical reel including at least one reel lighting controller, an edge lighting supported by and extending at least partially around a perimeter of the cabinet, the edge lighting including an edge lighting controller, and a processor configured to: identify an edge lighting delay offset value associated with the edge lighting and a mechanical reel delay offset value associated with the at least one mechanical reel; control the at least one mechanical reel to display an animation via the reel lighting controller; and control at least a portion of the edge lighting to initiate a first pattern at a timing via the edge lighting controller based on a difference between the edge lighting delay offset value and the mechanical reel delay offset value, thereby synchronizing presentation of the first pattern with the animation.
