DEMOGRAPHIC ADAPTATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

1 . A method for modifying a gaming presentation, comprising:

presenting a gaming presentation on a computing device;

using a biometric image capture device to obtain biometric information of a user;

determining the age of the user based upon the obtained biometric information; and

modifying the gaming presentation by altering sensory information based upon the determined age of the user.

2 . The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein altering sensory information includes altering a color pallet of the gaming presentation.

3 . The method as set forth in claim 2 , wherein altering a color pallet includes increasing blue content.

4 . The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein altering sensory information includes displaying a first graphic in place of a second graphic.

5 . The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein altering sensory information includes increasing or decreasing a size of a graphic.

6 . The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein altering sensory information includes shifting an audio tone from a first frequency to a second frequency.

7 . The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein altering sensory information includes increasing or decreasing volume.

8 . The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein altering sensory information includes increasing or decreasing a vibration frequency associated with a vibration device.

9 . The method as set forth in claim , wherein altering sensory information includes removing tactile feedback.

10 . The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein sensory information includes visual, audio, tactile, olfactory, thermal, cognitive, or subliminal information.

11 . A method for modifying sensory information displayed to a user, comprising:

presenting information on a computing device, wherein the information is visual, audio, or tactile;

using a biometric image capture device to obtain biometric information of the user;

determining the age of the user based upon the obtained biometric information; and

adjusting the display of the information presented to the user by altering the sensory information based upon the determined age of the user.

12 . The method as set forth in claim 11 , wherein altering sensory information includes altering a color pallet of the gaming presentation, displaying a first graphic in place of a second graphic, increasing or decreasing a size of a graphic, increasing or decreasing a brightness of a display of the computing device, shifting an audio tone from a first frequency to a second frequency, increasing or decreasing volume, increasing or decreasing a vibration frequency associated with a vibration device, or removing tactile feedback.

13 . The method as set forth in claim 11 , wherein sensory information includes visual, audio, tactile, olfactory, thermal, cognitive, or subliminal information.

14 . A method for presenting sensory information to a user, the method comprising:

receiving user-specific data from one or more input devices;

associating the user with a demographic profile based on the received user-specific data;

presenting sensory information to the user based on the demographic profile with which the user is associated.

15 . The method as set forth in claim 14 , wherein the one or more input devices include a player card reader or a biometric input device.

16 . The method as set forth in claim 14 , further comprising presenting sensory information to the user based on environmental information.

17 . The method as set forth in claim 16 , wherein the environmental information is an ambient light measurement, time of day, day of week, or weather information.

18 . The method as set forth in claim 14 , wherein sensory information includes visual, audio, tactile, olfactory, thermal, cognitive, or subliminal information.

19 . A system for reconfiguring a game, comprising:

a gaming machine operable to:

receive user-specific data from one or more input devices;

associate the user with a demographic profile based on the received user-specific data;

present sensory information to the user based on the demographic profile with which the user is associated.

20 . A system for reconfiguring a game, the system comprising:

a non-transitory memory in communication with a processor, wherein the non-transitory memory has instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, comprising:

processing biometric information of a user received from a biometric image capture device;

determining the age of the user based upon the obtained biometric information; and

modifying the game by altering sensory information based upon the determined age of the user.
