  • Publication number: 20250058208
    Abstract: An electronic dice shaker device includes a housing defining an interior cavity, the housing including a transparent window between the interior cavity and an exterior of the housing. The electronic dice shaker device further includes a sensor that detects, in response to an electronic die coming to rest in the interior cavity, a visible face of the electronic die. The electronic dice shaker device further includes a first communication interface that, in response to detection of the visible face of the electronic die, provides an indication of the visible face of the electronic die to a gaming device.

  • Publication number: 20250058209
    Abstract: An electronic die includes a plurality of faces, each face of the plurality of faces including a display device, an inertial measurement device, a processor circuit, and a memory including machine-readable instructions. When executed by the processor circuit, the instructions cause the processor circuit to receive a movement signal from the inertial measurement device indicative of a die-shake movement of the electronic die. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to, in response to the movement signal, cause the display device of each face of the plurality of faces to display a graphical symbol.

  • Patent number: 11386741
    Abstract: Various embodiments are provided for calibration of motion player tracking devices in electronic gaming machines (EGMs). A plurality of object sensors positioned adjacently to a display device of the EGM each record a plurality of data frames inclusive of a position of a plurality of fiducial markers relative to the plurality of object sensors. At predetermined intervals, the plurality of object sensors are calibrated in three-dimensional space using the position of the plurality of fiducial markers relative to the plurality of object sensors within the recorded plurality of data frames.

  • Patent number: 10895918
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to computational devices and gesture recognition. A computational device may include instructions that determine, based on a parameterization for a portion of a symbol, complete predicted symbols. The complete predicted symbols may be used as an input for an application operating on the computational device.
