Publication number: 20170345257Abstract: A gaming system and its operations include, for instance, providing, for presentation via one or more electronic display devices, first digital content for a first application. The first application is independent from a second application that concurrently presents second digital content. The operations can further include intercepting, by the first application via an application communication interface associated with the second application, data associated with the second digital content. The operations can further include determining, based on evaluation of the data associated with the second digital content via an electronic processing unit of the gaming system, a relationship between an aspect of the first digital content and an aspect of the second digital content. The operations can further include causing, by the first application via the electronic processing unit, the second application to automatically modify presentation of the second digital content in response to determining the relationship.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2017Publication date: November 30, 2017Inventors: Mark B. Gagner, Siva Kumar Krishnan, Larry J. Pacey, Alfred Thomas, Matthew J. Ward

Patent number: 9430917Abstract: A wagering game system (“system”) and its operations are described herein. In some examples, the operations include electronically determining, via an electronic communication interface of the system, display coordinates associated with first content of a first wagering game application (“first application”) for presentation on an electronic display device associated with the system. The first application is independent from a second wagering game application (“second application”). The operations can further include automatically mapping, via an electronic processing unit of the system, second content for the second application to the display coordinates. The operations can further include, based on the mapping, electronically presenting, via the electronic display device, the second content affixed relative to the first content during concurrent game play of the first application and the second application.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2015Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: BALLY GAMING, INC.Inventors: Peter J. Aponte, James J. Getz, Siva Kumar Krishnan, Brian D. Manning, Krishnakumar Meluveettil

Patent number: 9257006Abstract: A wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In some embodiments, the operations can include receiving first application data from a first application, where the first application data describes a first characteristic of first content from the first application. The first application presents the first content during a wagering game session. The operations can further include determining a relationship between the first characteristic and a second characteristic of second content of a second application that presents the second content during the wagering game session while the first application presents the first content. The operations can further include modifying the second content dynamically based on the relationship between the first characteristic and the second characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2012Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: Bally Gaming, Inc.Inventors: Mark B.

Patent number: 9087438Abstract: A wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In some embodiments, the operations can include presenting primary wagering game content, during a wagering game session, in an area of a display assigned to a primary wagering game application. The operations can further include detecting player input that indicates activation of a secondary wagering game application during the wagering game session and superimposing a portion of the secondary wagering game content over the primary wagering game content in the first area of the display in response to the player input. The operations can further include generating an outcome value for a playing turn of the secondary wagering game application in response to the player input, and presenting the outcome value for the secondary wagering game application via the portion of the secondary wagering game content.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2012Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: WMS Gaming, Inc.Inventors: Peter J.
