Abstract: A camera captures a display of a gaming device and determines information that appears on the display. The camera is mounted on a video gaming device, and the camera continuously or at various intervals captures images of the screen of the video gaming device. Those images are analyzed to determine information displayed on the video gaming device, such as game speed (e.g., time between handle pulls, total time of play, handle pulls during a session, etc.), bet amounts, bet lines, credits, etc. This information may be determined in various ways, such as by using image processing of images captured by the camera. Machine learning algorithms may also be used to infer key information displayed on the screen of the video gaming device to capture and/or analyze. A housing of the camera may also have a secondary display oriented in a similar direction as the screen of the video gaming device.
