Abstract: Position based media pipeline systems and methods for volumetric displays provide content to a volumetric display having at least two pixels arranged in a 3D coordinate space. A three-dimensional (3D) pixel position dataset and a 3D animation are provided and a first volume representation based on the 3D animation is created. A second volume is created based on the first volume and including color data. A texture atlas is assembled based on the second volume and volumetric image data is generated based on the texture atlas. The position based media pipeline outputs the volumetric image data to one or more graphic controllers. The volumetric image data can be output whereby a user can preview the volumetric image data in addition to output to the volumetric display.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a gaming system and method providing a wagering game with a kicker modifier feature. In certain embodiments, the gaming system is configured to initiate a play of a wagering game associated with a paytable including multiple winning hand categories each associated with one of multiple award amounts. The winning hand categories include a designated winning hand category associated with a designated award amount and multiple designated winning hands. The gaming system is configured to display a hand of cards and to determine whether the hand of cards forms one of the designated winning hands. The gaming system is configured to, responsive to determining that the hand of cards forms one of the designated winning hands, determine a modifier based on a designated card of the hand of cards and determine and display an award based on the designated award amount and the modifier.

Abstract: A player is enabled to initiate on a mobile device a multiplayer game via a community gaming panel for multiplayer game play. Additional players are enabled to access the multiplayer game on additional mobile devices to enroll in the multiplayer game. The multiplayer game is funded by wagers from the player, additional players, a gaming venue, or a third party funding source. An outcome is determined for the multiplayer game based on one or more plays of the multiplayer game by the player and/or the additional players. The mobile device and the additional mobile devices are remotely connected to a server associated with multiple gaming machines. The player and the additional authenticated players are each associated with a respective gaming machine.
