Publication number: 20230310991Abstract: A virtualization system is that comprises a display configured to display a representation of a real-world gaming area with physical objects. A user selects and adds one or more virtual electronic gaming machines (EGMs) to the gaming area representation to generate a mixed reality gaming area. Each virtual EGM added to the mixed reality gaming area can be moved to a desired location and rotated to a desired orientation. Each virtual EGM added to the to the mixed reality gaming area is also shown implementing a game that may also be selected by the user. The user is provided with a representation on the tablet computer of the mixed reality gaming area that includes the specific EGMs implementing the specific game, where the specific EGMs can be added or replaced at one or more virtual locations.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Upinder Dhaliwal, Thomas Elson
