Abstract: A multidimensional sound system coordinates the playback of audio streams on a device that outputs more than one video stream simultaneously. The system provides a method for splitting and directing sound so that multiple users viewing multiple content streams on a single device can hear audio relevant to the video content they wish to view. The system also provides methods directed to allowing users to share audio relevant to their respective video streams with other users on the same device, and allows users to reject such sharing requests.

Abstract: An Internet bonusing system includes an electronic gaming machine (EGM) having a memory area for receiving information relating to game play on the EGM and a player's activity associated with game play on the EGM and for storing the information. The EGM also includes a processor that is programmed to record play of the player on the EGM, encode at least a portion of the recorded play, and output a result of the encoding in a tangible form to the player. The Internet bonusing system also includes an Internet-enabled computer programmed to communicatively couple to a gaming website and to receive the result of the encoding through an input device communicatively coupled to the computer.

Abstract: A cash box assembly particularly suited for a slant-top slot machine is described. The slant-top slot machine has an angled console, incorporating the display area and the user interface. The present invention allows an attendant to easily remove a cash box from the console area of a slant-top gaming machine while the attendant stands upright in a comfortable position. The cash box is accessed through a door in the console. The cash box is located at the rear of an arcuate chute so that, when the attendant grasps the handle and pulls the cash box forward, the cash box slides upward along the arcuate path. At the point where the cash box is exiting the arcuate chute, the front of the cash box is approximately parallel to the slanted plane of the console. This is an optimal angle for removing or inserting the cash box. The arcuate path not only reduces the necessary size of the console opening to gain access to the cash box assembly, but provides a more ergonomic cash box removal and insertion technique.
