  • Patent number: 11127245
    Abstract: A gaming machine includes a cabinet at least partially defining a cavity opening and an internal cavity at least partially visible through the cavity opening, a primary display, a secondary display positioned within the internal cavity and visible through the cavity opening, a display movement assembly coupled to the primary display, and logic circuitry. The display movement assembly selectively moves the primary display between an open position and a closed position in which the primary display blocks visibility through the cavity opening. The logic circuitry causes the primary display in the closed position to present a first portion of a game, causes the display movement assembly to move the primary display to the open position to expose the cavity opening and the secondary display, and, in response to the secondary display being exposed, causes the secondary display to present a second portion of the game.

  • Patent number: 11069179
    Abstract: A gaming machine includes a cabinet, an emotive lighting system coupled to the cabinet the textured surface, and logic circuitry. The emotive lighting system includes a textured surface including a plurality of walls that define a plurality of channels, a first array of light-emitting devices oriented to emit light in a first direction, and an optical waveguide positioned over the first array of light-emitting devices. Each channel is aligned with at least one light-emitting device of the first array, and the optical waveguide guides light from the first array towards the channels in a second direction at an oblique or orthogonal angle relative from the first direction. The logic circuitry causes each light-emitting device of the first array to selectively emit light such that each channel is selectively illuminated with indirect light from the aligned light-emitting device and substantially isolated from indirect light emitted from unaligned light-emitting devices.

  • Patent number: 8663019
    Abstract: Gaming machine chairs and wagering game systems and machines with a gaming chair are presented herein. A gaming chair is disclosed that includes a base, a seat portion supported by the base, and at least one actuator attached to the seat portion to selectively move the seat portion. A movable shroud at least partially circumscribes the base and the actuator(s) to inhibit access thereto. The movable shroud is attached to the actuator(s) for concurrent movement therewith. Optionally, the base may be attached to both the seat portion and the actuator(s). In this instance, the actuator(s) may be pivotably mounted to a chair support structure, whereas the base may lack a direct connection to the chair's support structure. An optional flexible boot at least partially circumscribes the base and the actuator(s). The moveable shroud and flexible boot cooperate to substantially conceal and inhibit access to the base and the actuator(s).

  • Patent number: 7683947
    Abstract: An apparatus for providing amplified image data may include an image sensor including a number of pixel light sensing elements. Circuitry may output pixel exposure signals and a dark level signal. The differences between the pixel exposure signals and the dark level signal are uni-polar signals. A variable gain amplifier may shift the uni-polar signals to bipolar signals centered around zero, and may also amplify the bipolar signals. In this manner, a full scale output range of the variable gain amplifier may be substantially utilized.
