Abstract: A gaming device includes a base and a transparent display disposed on the base including an emissive layer including an array of pixels, each including an emissive pixel element and a transparent portion, and a conductive layer operatively coupled to the emissive layer to selectively operate the emissive pixel elements. The gaming device further includes a processor circuit a memory storing machine-readable instructions that cause the processor circuit to selectively operate the transparent display. The transparent portion of each pixel is transparent to visible light in an inactive state such that an environment behind the transparent display is visible through the transparent portion to a user in front of the transparent display. Each pixel of the array of pixels emits light in an active state sufficient to obscure visibility of the environment behind the transparent display through the transparent portion to the user in front of the transparent display.

Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to provide, by the processor circuit, a virtual environment in a metaverse. The virtual environment includes a virtual electronic gaming machine (EGM). The processor circuit is further caused to receive, via the processing circuit and from a gaming device that is in a physical world and that corresponds to a user, an identification of a modification to the virtual environment that is not possible in the physical world. The processor circuit further caused to provide, responsive to receiving the identification of the modification and via the processing circuit, the modification to the virtual environment.

Abstract: A cryptographic token associated with a player including a cryptographic hash associated with a blockchain, a player identifier indicative of a player associated with the cryptographic token, and a progress identifier indicative of a present progress value for a wagering game is determined, and a first progress value associated with a first play session of a first wagering game by a player is determined. Based on the first progress value, the progress identifier of the cryptographic token is modified to add the first progress value to the present progress value. Based on the present progress value, a first game benefit to the player is provided.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine where the player plays an interactive game using their player eye gaze. A graphics processor generates an interactive game environment and defines a viewing area as its subset, the viewing area having visible game components. A display device displays the viewing area having the plurality of visible game components. The 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 the player eye gaze to collect player eye gaze data. The game controller determines the location of the player's eye gaze relative to the viewing area 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 displayed on the display device representative of a visual update to the visible game components in the viewing area.

Abstract: A primary wagering game is provided at a gaming device to a first player and a cryptographic token associated with the first player is determined. The cryptographic token includes a player identifier indicative of the player associated with the cryptographic token and a benefit identifier associated with a game benefit being provided to the first player associated with the cryptographic token. Based on the cryptographic token, a secondary game is provided at the gaming device, wherein play of the secondary game does not affect play of the primary wagering game, and wherein play of the secondary game appears to the first player to modify play of the primary wagering game.
