Abstract: A roulette wheel having a rotating roulette wheel including upper and bottom surfaces, pockets on the upper surfaces and symbols arranged around and corresponding to the pockets. Triggers on the bottom surfaces trigger sensors. A computer receives sensor data and image data from video images of the upper surfaces, extrapolates rotational data associated with a location of each pocket from the sensor data, outputs the rotational data embedded in the image data, and generates random data. Player stations enable players to play by selecting symbols and generating playing data based on the symbol selection. Each player station receives the rotational data embedded in the image data, generates graphical data based on the random data and the playing data, and displays the graphical data on a display overlayed on the image data and synchronized to movement of the upper surfaces in the image data based on the rotational data.

Abstract: A roulette wheel system and method of using are disclosed. A roulette wheel may include a rotatable rim, a controller, and an optical display system. The optical display system may be configured to project a lighting effect on a top surface of the roulette wheel. The lighting effect corresponds to bet information. As the bet information changes the lighting effect is dynamically updated. A controller may provide signal content to the optical display system to produce the signal content.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for roulette gaming systems including an automated roulette wheel and a plurality of player stations having a display providing a gaming interface to wager on roulette gaming events at the automated roulette wheel. Embodiments may include a computing device to provide the gaming interface, set a betting window, receive at least one bet from a player station, determine a type of roulette ball (e.g., normal or multiplier) to be launched into the roulette wheel for the gaming event, a random set of symbols and a separate multiplier value for each symbol in the set of symbols. Payouts are based on the result of the roulette event, and when the result is a symbol in the set of symbols, the multiplier value associated with the symbol.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for operating roulette games. A betting interface on a player station may include a first betting layout to receive a bet corresponding to a first roulette game, and a second betting layout to receive a bet corresponding to a second roulette game. A timing of a first betting window and a second window may be alternated so that the first betting window enables a bet acquisition corresponding to a round of a first roulette game, and the second betting window enables a bet acquisition corresponding to a round of the second roulette game. A first roulette ball, corresponding to a round of the first roulette game may be launched when the second betting window is open, and a second roulette ball, corresponding to a round of the second roulette game may be launched when the first betting window is open for a new round.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for operating roulette games. Bet information may be acquired from user input provided at a graphical user interface. The bet information may include a wager associated with a first set of symbols. A first roulette ball and a second roulette ball may be asynchronously launched on a roulette wheel. A first symbol associated with a final position of the first roulette ball may determined, and the ball is stored in a sub-pocket beneath a central cone of the roulette wheel prior to the second ball reaching a final position. A second symbol associated with the final position of the second roulette ball may be determined. An animation indicative of a payout based on the bet information, the first symbol, and the second symbol may be provided on the graphical user interface.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention provides an optic, which comprises a light pipe extending from a proximal end to a distal end about an optical axis, said light pipe being adapted to receive at its proximal end at least a portion of light emitted by a light source. The optic further comprises a central reflector optically coupled to said distal end of the light pipe for receiving at least a portion of the light transmitted through the light pipe and reflecting said received light, a peripheral reflector optically coupled to said central reflector for receiving at least a portion of said reflected light, and an output surface. The peripheral reflect is configured to redirect at least a portion of the light received from the central reflector to said output surface for exiting the optic.

Abstract: In one aspect, an optical lens assembly (herein referred to also as an optic) is provided that comprises a plurality of lenses (or lens segments) adapted to receive light from a light source, each of said lenses (or lens segments) having an input surface and an output surface and a lateral surface extending between the input and output surfaces. The lenses are arranged relative to one another and positioned relative to the light source such that each of the lenses receives at its input surface a different portion of light emitted by the source, e.g., each lens receives at its input surface light emitted by the source into an angular subtense (solid angle) different than an angular subtense associated with another lens. Each lens (or lens segment) guides at least a portion of the received light to its output surface via reflection, e.g., via total internal reflection (TIR).
