Abstract: Gaming systems and methods that automatically adjust the audio outputted by the gaming system based on a prediction that the player wants to change the audio. Upon an occurrence of an audio adjustment determination, the gaming system automatically makes an adjustment to the audio outputted by the gaming system. This automatic audio adjustment feature can be employed in association with the audio outputted in association with a play of a primary game, the audio outputted in association with a play of a secondary game, the audio outputted before a play of a primary game or before a play of a secondary game, and/or the audio outputted after a play of a primary game or after a play of a secondary game.

Abstract: Gaming systems and methods that automatically adjust the audio outputted by the gaming system based on a determination to make a change to the audio based on one or more of player related data and/or play related data. Upon an occurrence of an audio adjustment determination, the gaming system automatically makes an adjustment to the audio outputted by the gaming system. This automatic audio adjustment feature can be employed in association with the audio outputted in association with a play of a primary game, the audio outputted in association with a play of a secondary game, the audio outputted before a play of a primary game or before a play of a secondary game, and/or the audio outputted after a play of a primary game or after a play of a secondary game.

Abstract: A gaming device includes a gesture detection device that includes a gesture detector that is operable to detect a gesture of a player and a gesture interpreter that is configured to generate gesture data corresponding to the gesture, a housing that includes an interior that is defined by a plurality of opaque surfaces and a front surface that includes a portion that is a semi-transparent window that is configured to reflect, to the player, a reflected image of at least a portion of the player that is an object distance away from the semi-transparent window. The gaming device includes a display device that is arranged within the housing and that includes a display surface that faces the semi-transparent window, that is spaced apart from the semi-transparent window by about the object distance and that is configured to display a supplemental image that is visible through the semi-transparent window.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for artificial intelligence implementation for modifying user interface elements may include receiving gaming device data associated with a gaming device, the gaming device data including a plurality of gaming device parameter values for a plurality of gaming parameters associated with the gaming device. The gaming device data is analyzed to determine a first gaming device parameter value of the plurality of gaming device parameter values. Using a predictive model including a plurality of data clusters, the first gaming device parameter value is correlated with a first data cluster of the plurality of data clusters, where each data cluster is associated with a user interface parameter value of the gaming device. A user interface element of the gaming device is then modified based on the user interface parameter value associated with the first data cluster.
