Method of encoding multiple languages in a video file for a gaming machine
The invention provides a method of encoding multiple languages in a video file for use in a gaming machine, comprising encoding first video file segments in first language, encoding second video file segments in a second language and encoding one or more third video file segments that do not display any language. A first set of instructions is executable by a computing device of the gaming machine to combine the first and third video file segments into a video presentation in the first language to be displayed on a display of the gaming machine. A second set of instructions is executable by the computing device to combine the second and third video file segments into a video presentation in the second language to be displayed on the display. Related methods and systems are also provided.
1. A method of providing a video slot machine game in two or more languages on an electronic gaming machine having a display, comprising:
a memory storing a video game file comprising at least a first, a second and a third video file segments and a computing device selectively executing a first set or a second set of instructions;
selecting by a user from a playlist a video presentation representing all video displayed on the display during play of the game;
at least a first set of one or more video file segments including written text;
and a second set of one or more video file segments not including written text:
encoding one or more first video file segments that display the written text of the first set in video frames in a first language to be displayed on the display;
encoding one or more second video file segments that display the written text of the first set in video frames in second language to be displayed on the display;
encoding one or more third video file segments in video frames that display the second set on the display:
programming a first set of instructions executable by the computing device to combine the first and third video file segments into the video presentation in the first language to be displayed on the display;
programming a second set of instructions executable by the computing device to combine the second and third video file segments into the video presentation in the second language to be displayed on the display;
storing the one or more first video file segments, the one or more second video file segments, the one or more third video file segments, the first set of instructions, and the second set of instructions on the memory;
executing selectively the first set or the second set of instructions, wherein the selection of one of the first set or the second set of instructions renders the other set of instructions inactive; and
displaying the file segments selection into the current video presentation as static or animated video images.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selection of the first or second set of instructions for execution can be changed by the computing device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the computing device selectively chooses to execute the first or second set of instructions in response to a command from a user of the gaming machine.
