Abstract: A gaming device, and related devices, methods, and systems, may include a touch input device to detect touch inputs performed by a user, and a gesture input device to detect gesture inputs performed by the user. The gaming device may further includes a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory may include machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to: receive a first gesture input value from the gesture input device, predict, based on the first gesture input value, a predicted touch input value corresponding to a predicted touch input that is predicted to be performed by the user, and modify a user interface element of the gaming device based on the first gesture input value and the predicted touch input value.

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 receiving, at a touch-capable user interface, a user gesture provided in combination with a tag having data encoded thereon with an encoded physical medium that is readable by the touch-capable user interface. The method further includes extracting the data encoded on the tag, determining an output to provide based on the extracted data, and causing a user output device of a gaming device to provide the determined output.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method can include determining a location of a mobile device that is proximate to a casino and that is associated with a user. The method can further includes determining a conditional reward that indicates a reward to be provided to the user in response to a condition being completed by the user. The conditional reward can be based on the location of the mobile deice relative to the casino. The method can further include transmitting a signal having the conditional reward to the mobile device and determining that the user is at the casino. The method can further include determining that the condition is completed and providing the user with the reward.

Abstract: A wagering gaming apparatus is provided, comprising a 3-dimensional (3D) display device configured to create for a player a visual illusion of a 3D scene for a wagering game, the 3D scene having perceived depth in a z-direction perpendicular to a physical screen having width in an x-direction and height in a y-direction; one or more sensor devices configured to sense a physical location of one or more anatomical features of the player; at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory processor-readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions. The processor-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform various adjustments regarding the 3D scene based on the sensed physical location of an anatomical feature of the player.

Abstract: Three-dimensional displays and related techniques are provided. A method of generating a stereoscopic 3D image of a casino game apparatus is provided. A first static 2D image may be applied to a surface in a virtual 3D environment as a first texture of the surface in a first view of the virtual 3D environment. A second static 2D image may be applied to the surface in the virtual 3D environment as a second texture of the surface in a second view of the virtual 3D environment. A stereoscopic 3D image of the casino game apparatus may be generated, the stereoscopic 3D image comprising the first view of the virtual 3D environment with the first static 2D image applied as the first texture to the surface and the second view of the virtual 3D environment with the second static 2D image applied as the second texture to the surface.

Abstract: A wagering gaming apparatus is provided, comprising a 3-dimensional (3D) display device; at least one processor programmed to cause the 3D display device to display a 3D scene for a game, the 3D scene comprising a virtual 3D space in which a plurality of virtual game components are displayed; and at least one contactless sensor device configured to sense a location and shape of a physical object in a physical 3D space and generate 3D information indicative of the location and shape of the physical object in the physical 3D space. In some embodiments, the at least one processor is programmed to: update a 3D model for a virtual object in the 3D scene, the virtual object corresponding to the physical object; and detect an interaction between the virtual object and at least one virtual game component in the 3D scene.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to gaming machines, systems, and methods. As an example, a method is disclosed that includes enabling a user to interact with a game of chance via a user interface device of the electronic gaming machine, storing an amount of credit available for the player to play the game of chance in a credit meter, presenting the amount of credit available to the user via the user interface device, providing information from the credit meter to a wireless communication assembly, and transmitting, with the wireless communication assembly, the information from the credit meter to a game management system.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for unlocking hardware and associated functionality of gaming devices. Before a player reaches a predetermined progress level, enhanced user interface devices of the gaming device remain locked to the player. The functionality associated with the enhanced user interface devices also remains unavailable to the player while the enhanced user interface devices are locked. Once the player reaches the progress level, a hardware-unlock option is presented to the player allowing the player to unlock an enhanced user interface device and select a functionality associated with the unlocked enhanced user interface device. The availability of the hardware-unlock options and specific functionality to be activated can be limited based on in-game events and a progress level reached by the player.

Abstract: A system sends the identification of an electronic incentive award that a player may into a mobile device. The electronic incentive award may be sent in response to the player performing an action to complete an incentive objective on an electronic gaming machine (EGM). The system receives incentive progress data that corresponds to the action to complete the incentive objective. The incentive progress data indicates player progress towards completing the incentive objective. In response to the incentive progress data indicating that the player has completed the incentive objective, the system provides the electronic incentive award to the mobile device for the player to use on the mobile device.
