    Abstract: An electronic gaming machine that includes a three-dimensional (3D) graphics processor to generate a 3D game environment for a game. A display controller defines a view window of the three-dimensional game environment. The view window defines a portion of the three-dimensional game environment. An electronic display device displays, via a display interface, the portion of the three-dimensional game environment defined by the view window using the 3D graphics processor. A player input device detects a player request interaction input to update the view window to navigate within the three dimensional game environment. In response to detection by the player input device, the display controller updates the view window based on the update action to define another portion of the three-dimensional game environment. The player can navigate throughout the 3D game environment using player request interaction input.

    Abstract: A gaming system, and method of controlling a gaming system, having a touchscreen, that simulates a game of skill by showing a graphical object and detecting a pair of spaced-apart user input touch points on the touchscreen. An increase in distance between the touch points corresponds to an increase in stress upon the object, which is animated on the touchscreen, and scaling of an associated reward. A failure threshold is selected and the increase in stress is tested against the failure threshold. The failure threshold may be at least partly randomized. If the stress exceeds the threshold, then a failure event is shown. If the touch input ceases, the user may elect to accept then current reward value or to continue. The object may be a bubble and the stress may be expansion of the bubble, leading to popping of the bubble if the expansion exceeds the failure threshold.

    Abstract: There is disclosed an electronic gaming machine that includes an electronic datastore storing game data for a given game, an electronic display, and one or more processors in communication with the at least one electronic datastore and the electronic display. The processors include a three-dimensional graphics processor. The processors are configured to: generate, with at least the three-dimensional graphics processor, a three-dimensional game surface in accordance with a set of game rules using the game data, the three-dimensional game surface for displaying game symbols thereon; present a view of the three-dimensional game surface such that a plurality of game symbols are viewable on the electronic display; and in response to a game event defined by the game rules: rotate the view of the three-dimensional game surface such that at least one additional game symbol becomes viewable on the electronic display; and integrate the at least one additional symbol into the given game in accordance with the game rules.
