Abstract: An electronic gaming machine to play an interactive game where a players eye gaze acts as x-ray vision. A graphics processor generates an interactive game environment and defines a viewing area as its subset. A display device displays the viewing area, where a visible game component masks an invisible game component. A display controller controls rendering of the viewing area on the display device using the graphics processor. At least one data capture camera device continuously monitors player eye gaze to collect player eye gaze data. A game controller calculates a player eye gaze location relative to the viewing area, the location corresponding to the invisible game component, and triggers a control command to the display controller. In response, the display controller controls the display device in real-time to provide a graphical animation effect representative of a visual update to the visible game component to reveal the invisible game component.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to using artificially intelligent bots to represent automated, virtual entities in a virtual casino. According to one embodiment, providing a virtual casino can comprise maintaining a model of virtual casino interactions representing interactions between entities in a gaming environment. The interactions between entities in the gaming environment represented by the model comprise can comprise verbal communications and physical actions. A representation of the virtual casino can be presented to a user device through a communications network. A bot for an entity can be generated based on the model and a representation of the bot for the entity in the virtual casino can be presented through the communications network to the user device. The bot can interact with a human player in the virtual casino through the presented representation of the bot based on the model and using a natural language processing system.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to gaming devices, systems, and methods. As an example, a gaming device is disclosed to generate game outcomes based on game instructions applying game rules to user inputs; cause gameplay graphics to be rendered by the user interface in accordance with the game outcomes; receive, from a sensor, information that enables the processor to identify a number of players positioned in proximity of the user interface; dynamically modify the game rules based on the identified number of players being greater than one; generate additional game outcomes based on the game instructions applying the modified game rules to user inputs; and cause additional gameplay graphics to be rendered by the user interface in accordance with the additional game outcomes.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a wearable device comprising a wireless communications interface, a display, a processor coupled with the wireless communications interface and display, and a memory coupled with and readable by the processor. The memory can store therein a set of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to operate in a game play privacy mode in which the processor can pair with an EGM through the wireless communications interface and provide, to the EGM, information defining preferences for the privacy mode. The processor can receive, from the EGM through the wireless communications interface, a set of game play information related to the preferences for the privacy mode. The received set of game play information may not be presented on the EGM. The processor can present, through the display to a user of the wearable device, the game play information received from the EGM.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems, methods, and devices that enable interactions between a tag having conductive, coded ink and a gaming environment. As an example, a method is disclosed that includes providing a tag with an encoded physical medium that is readable by a touch-capable user interface, determining that the tag has been read by a touch-capable user interface of a gaming device in combination with detecting a gesture of the user at the touch-capable user interface of the gaming device, enabling the gaming device to provide a predetermined game feature in response to determining that the tag has been read by the touch-capable user interface of the gaming device in combination with detecting the gesture of the user at the touch-capable user interface of the gaming device, and updating an electronic record associated with the tag to indicate that the predetermined game feature has been enabled.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine (EGM) includes a display having a display surface configured to provide stereoscopic 3D viewing of at least a portion of the game. The portion of the game includes a 3D interface element. The EGM further includes a locating sensor that generates an electronic signal based on a player's location in a sensing space. The EGM includes an ultrasonic emitter configured to emit an ultrasonic field. At least a portion of the ultrasonic field is located in the sensing space. The EGM also includes one or more processors configured to: identify a location of one or more player features based on the electrical signal from the locating sensor; determine that the location of the player features is associated with the 3D interface element; and control one or more of the ultrasonic emitters based on the identified location to provide tactile feedback to the player.
