The instructions further cause the processor circuit to determine a monetary value associated with the item. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to determine a gaming offer associated with the monetary value. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to cause the head-mounted display device to display the gaming offer, wherein the gaming offer is associated with the item in the field of view of the user.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine (“EGM”) includes a processor circuit, a port coupled to the processor circuit, and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The port is configured to communicatively couple to a license dongle. The license dongle is configured to store a license associated with a game. The license is usable to allow the game to be played on the EGM. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the EGM to perform operations. The operations include providing an identifier of the license dongle to a separate entity. The operations further include, responsive to providing the identifier of the license dongle, receiving an indicator of the license associated with the game. The operations further include initiating the game on the EGM using the license.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to monitoring sustainability in a gaming environment. For example, embodiments can measure the energy savings or environmental impact of gaming systems such as Electronic Gaming Machines (EGMs), Video Lottery Terminals (VLT), or sports wagering play in casinos, show players which methods of play are saving energy, and then offers players incentives to save energy. For example, players who choose to turn down the brightness of the gaming system display might be awarded additional player club points for being “green.” Various embodiments described herein can include, but are not limited to, calculating the energy used by a gaming system, displaying the energy used by the play of the gaming system or its impact on sustainability, incentivizing the player to use sustainable features of the gaming system, i.e., energy saving features, rewarding the player for sustainable play including additional player points or “Green” player points, and/or others.
