Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in connection with an electronic game such as slots, video poker, or other such game. The game can provide a unique, dynamic storyline. For example, a storyline can be presented through graphical or other visual indicators that appear during game play, e.g. symbols or other game elements. The storyline and the graphical or other visual indicators of the storyline can change throughout a gaming session based on results in the game. For example, a winning spin in a slots game can cause the storyline to change in a positive direction while a non-winning spin can cause the storyline to remain neutral or change in a negative direct. Other factors that could influence the storyline can include, but are not limited to, the amount of a wager, the number of spins or the amount of time played so far, etc.

Abstract: A gaming system, computer-implemented method and gaming device are operable enhance player experience using image data. A system includes a processor circuit and a memory including machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to perform operations. Such operations include receiving, from a camera, image data that includes visual signals corresponding to a player and determining player action components from the image data. The player action components include multiple different player attributes that correspond to an emotional state of the player. Operations further include, based on the different player attributes, determining a predicted action of the player and causing a casino related action that corresponds to the predicted action.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to gaming machines, systems, and methods. As an example, a method is disclosed that includes enabling a user to interact with a game of chance via a user interface device of the electronic gaming machine, storing an amount of credit available for the player to play the game of chance in a credit meter, presenting the amount of credit available to the user via the user interface device, providing information from the credit meter to a wireless communication assembly, and transmitting, with the wireless communication assembly, the information from the credit meter to a game management system.
