Electronic gaming system with human gesturing inputs

1. An electronic gaming system comprising:

a credit device configured to accept an item associated with a monetary value;

a user input device configured to enable a player to select a wager amount and initiate a game play where the wager amount is subtracted from a credit balance, the credit balance being funded at least in part via the credit device;

at least one display device;

one or more depth image sensing devices;

at least one memory device; and

at least one processor configured to receive a plurality of instructions from the at least one memory device, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

(a) determine a wager placed by the player of the electronic gaming system;

(b) cause the at least one display device to display a first screen;

(c) detect a body part of the player;

(d) identify the detected body part;

(e) detect a 3D movement of the detected body part;

(f) correlate the detected 3D movement of the identified body part to a reference model where the reference model includes a preloaded reference model and a dynamic reference model, where the dynamic reference model is created based on a pattern of historical data;

(g) determine a player input based on the correlation of the detected 3D movement of the identified body part with the reference model;

(h) determine a second screen to display based at least in part on the determined player input;

(i) cause the at least one display device to display the second screen;

(j) determine an outcome for the game play; and

(k) determining any awards based at least in part on the determined outcome of the game play where any determined awards are added to the credit balance;

wherein the determined outcome is based at least in part on the determined player input where the determined player input being based on the correlation of the detected 3D movement of the identified body part with the reference model.

2. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more depth image sensing devices includes at least one light source and at least one image sensor.

3. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the detected body part is a hand.

4. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the displayed second screen displays a menu of options to the player.

5. A method of determining a player input via an electronic gaming system comprising:

a) receiving via a credit device an item associated with a monetary value;

b) establishing via one or more processors a credit balance based at least in part on the received item;

c) receiving via a wager button a wager amount on a game play, wherein the wager amount is deducted from the credit balance;

d) causing at least one display device to display a first screen;

e) detecting a body part of a player;

f) identifying the detected body part;

g) detecting a 3D movement of the detected body part;

h) correlating the detected 3D movement of the identified body part to a reference model where the reference model includes a preloaded reference model and a dynamic reference model, where the dynamic reference model is created based on a pattern of historical data;

i) determining the player input based on the correlation of the detected 3D movement of the identified body part with the reference model;

j) determining a second screen to display based at least in part on the determined player input;

k) causing the at least one display device to display the second screen;

l) determining an outcome for the game play; and

m) determining any awards based at least in part on the determined outcome of the game play where any determined awards are added to the credit balance;

wherein the determined outcome is based at least in part on the determined player input where the determined player input being based on the correlation of the detected 3D movement of the identified body part with the reference model.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising detecting one or more elements within one or more scene images.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the one or more elements are one or more body parts of one or more people.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the displayed first screen comprises a plurality of video reels.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the detected body part is a hand.

10. The method of claim 5 , wherein the displayed second screen comprises at least one characteristic of the detected body part.

11. The method of claim 5 , wherein the determined second screen comprises a bonus game.

12. The method of claim 5 , wherein the displayed first screen comprises a plurality of selections which are selectable by the player.

13. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the determined second screen comprises a bonus game.

14. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the displayed first screen comprises a plurality of selections which are selectable by the player.

15. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to detect one or more elements within one or more scene images.

16. The electronic gaming system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more elements are one or more body parts of one or more people.
