  • Publication number: 20200286332
    Abstract: Provided are systems for providing ticket and cashless discount offers. As system includes a processor circuit that receives, from a player, a request for a cashout that corresponds to a cash balance held by the player at the end of a gaming session. A cashout bonus status that corresponds to the player and to the gaming session is determined. A bonus portion that is based on the cashout bonus status and the cash balance is determined. The system transmits an offer message to the player. The offer message includes an offer to allocate the bonus portion and the cash balance to be spent with a predefined vendor that is associated with a game provider. If the player accepts the offer, the bonus portion and at least a portion of the cash balance are transferred to an account that is associated with the player and the predefined vendor.

  • Patent number: 10726680
    Abstract: Real-time image data of coins that are on a physical coin pusher playfield and that are adjacent a drop-off edge of the physical coin pusher playfield may be received. An augmented reality (AR) device may generate AR display content that includes first game content that is viewable by a user of the AR device and that is associated with one of the coins. An action of the first virtual element may be generated responsive to physical movement of the one of the coins in response to generating the action of the first element. An AR award to the user that is associated with the first virtual element may be generated. A combined image corresponding to an image of the physical coin pusher game that is viewable through the AR device and the AR display content that may be generated by the AR device may be provided to the user.

  • Patent number: 10720006
    Abstract: A mixed reality display system includes a processor circuit, and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to determine a location of a user wearing a mixed reality viewer and generate a live video signal of a real-world scene including a plurality of real-world elements. The machine readable instructions further cause the processor circuit to determine an authorized region within the real-world scene including a plurality of authorized real-world elements that are authorized to be displayed to a third party, and generate a mixed reality including the authorized real-world elements within the authorized region and a first virtual element that obscures one of the plurality of real-world elements of the live video signal that is not within the authorized region of the real-world scene, and generate an output video signal of the mixed reality scene.

  • Publication number: 20200152010
    Abstract: In response to receiving a wager, a plurality of game elements are displayed as part of the wagering game. The plurality of game elements includes a play area, an enemy element that travels along an enemy path from an enemy entry location toward an enemy goal location, and a defense element that attacks the enemy element when the enemy element is within a defense attack range of the defense element. An enemy health value of the enemy element is reduced based on the defense element attacking the enemy element when the enemy element is within the defense attack range of the defense element. Reducing the enemy health value of the enemy element to zero destroys the enemy element. In response to the enemy element being destroyed, a second monetary amount is credited to the first credit account.

  • Publication number: 20200118381
    Abstract: An immersive video system includes a processor circuit, and a memory coupled to the processing circuit. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to determine a device location of an immersive video device being worn by a user and an electronic game machine (EGM) location for an EGM associated with the user. The memory further includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to determine that the immersive video device is obstructing a view of the EGM by the user. The memory further includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to determine in response to determining that the immersive video device is obstructing the view of the EGM by the user, disable a feature of the EGM.
