Gaming machine having a curved display
View Patent ↗A system includes a display device including a display surface configured to display a graphic and including an opening. The system also includes a peripheral device mounted within the opening of the display surface, and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory device, which when executed, cause the processor to at least: display the graphic on the display surface of the display device adjacent to the peripheral device, whereby the graphic is displayed at least partially in association with the peripheral device.
1. A system comprising:
a display device including a display surface, the display surface configured to display a graphic, the display surface including an opening;
a peripheral device including a camera and an input device, the peripheral device mounted within the opening of the display surface; and
a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory device, which when executed, cause the processor to at least:
display the graphic on the display surface of the display device adjacent to the peripheral device;
determine a triggering event has occurred based on a user interaction with the input device; and
update display of the graphic, whereby the graphic is updated and displayed at least partially in association with the user interaction with the input device of the peripheral device.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the processor to at least:
control the peripheral device to perform an operation; and
display the graphic on the display surface of the display device adjacent to and in association with the peripheral device, wherein the graphic is related to the operation performed by the peripheral device.
3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a second peripheral device, the second peripheral device mounted within a second opening of the display surface, wherein the second peripheral device includes one of a second camera, a bill acceptor, a ticket voucher acceptor, a printer, a barcode scanner, or a player identification card reader.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the processor to at least:
control the camera to capture at least one image; and
display the graphic on the display surface of the display device adjacent to and in association with the camera, wherein the graphic is provided in response to capture of the at least one image.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the processor to at least display the graphic on the display surface to flow around the peripheral device.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display device is a curved video display having a curved display surface, and wherein the graphic is displayed on the curved display surface surrounding the peripheral device.
7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an electronic gaming machine cabinet that supports the display device, and wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the processor to at least present a wagering game on the display device.
8. A method comprising:
controlling, by a processor of a display device including a display surface, display of a graphic on the display surface adjacent to a peripheral device, the peripheral device mounted at least partially within an opening of the display surface and including a camera and an input device;
receiving, by a processor of the display device, a user input to operate the peripheral device, the user input received in response to a user interaction with the input device; and
controlling, by the processor, the display device to update and display the graphic, whereby the graphic is updated and displayed at least partially in association with the user interaction with the input device of the peripheral device.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
controlling, by the processor, the peripheral device to perform an operation; and
controlling, by the processor, the display device to display the graphic on the display surface of the display device adjacent to and in association with the peripheral device, wherein the graphic is responsive to the operation performed by the peripheral device.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the input device of the peripheral device is one of a bill acceptor, a ticket voucher acceptor, a printer, a barcode scanner, or a player identification card reader.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the peripheral device is a camera, the method further comprising:
controlling, by the processor, the camera to capture at least one image; and
controlling, by the processor, the display device to display the graphic on the display surface of the display device adjacent to and in association with the camera, wherein the graphic is provided in response to capture of the at least one image.
12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising controlling, by the processor, the display device to display the graphic on the display surface to flow around the peripheral device.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the display device is a curved video display having a curved display surface, the method further comprising controlling, by the processor, the display device to display the graphic on the curved display surface surrounding the peripheral device.
14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising controlling, by the processor, the display device to present a wagering game on the display surface of the display device.
15. A system comprising:
a display device including a display surface, the display surface including a cutout;
a peripheral device including a camera and an input device, the peripheral device mounted at least partially within the cutout of the display surface, whereby the peripheral device is visible to and accessible by a user of the system; and
a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory device, which when executed, cause the processor to at least:
display a flowing graphic on the display surface of the display device adjacent to and at least partially around the peripheral device;
determine a triggering event has occurred based on a user interaction with the input device; and
update display of the flowing graphic, whereby the flowing graphic is updated and displayed at least partially in association with the user interaction with the input device of the peripheral device.
16. The system of claim 15 , further comprising a second peripheral device mounted at least partially within a second cutout of the display surface, whereby the second peripheral device is also visible to and accessible by a user of the system.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the processor to at least:
control the peripheral device to perform an operation; and
display the flowing graphic on the display surface of the display device adjacent to and in association with the peripheral device.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the flowing graphic is provided based upon the operation performed by the peripheral device.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the display device is a curved video display having a curved display surface, and wherein the flowing graphic is displayed on the curved display surface surrounding the peripheral device.
20. The system of claim 15 , further comprising an electronic gaming machine cabinet that supports the display device, and wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the processor to at least present a wagering game on the display device.
