Patent number: 11055953Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a video display input assembly including a mechanical rotatable bezel surrounding the video display. The video display input assembly is suitable for use in a gaming terminal, a gaming cabinet or a gaming machine, including as a retrofit to an pre-existing gaming machine. Direction and speed of a manual rotation of the bezel is detected and interpreted. The result may be used to control various aspects of operation of the gaming terminal, gaming cabinet or gaming machine, including providing input for game play. The video display may be updated in real-time to reflect the rotation of the bezel. A motor may be coupled to the rotatable bezel to provide resistance, assistance or operator feedback.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2020Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: SG Gaming, Inc.Inventors: Bran Ferren, Don Lariviere, Ivo Janssen, James Hirahara, Jeffrey Mulvey, Michael Ma, Vernon Bernard, Karl Wudtke, Benjamin E.

Publication number: 20170211793Abstract: A display where lights may be programmed to randomly flash is described. The randomness may be changed by changing the mode of flashing. The lights may extend along strings that are powered by a power supply that may itself be plugged into a socket that had previously served as a light socket. The display may be added to existing displays to enhance existing visual effects. The display may be submerged and the lights may remain upright because of their buoyancy.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2016Publication date: July 27, 2017Applicant: WET DesignInventors: Mark Fuller, Jim Doyle, Don Lariviere, Antonio Y.
