5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising obtaining biometric information from the patron with the detection device comprising a biometric identification device.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising providing facial recognition images of the patron from the biometric information with the detection device.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

communicating the at least a portion of the at least one detected physical feature to a cloud server; and

analyzing the facial recognition images with the cloud server; and

returning data from the cloud server indicating whether a match for the at least a portion of the at least one detected physical feature was found in the cloud server.

8. A method of monitoring a patron in a gaming establishment, comprising:

at a first gaming location in the gaming establishment, detecting, with a detection device, at least one physical feature associated with the patron of the gaming establishment;

receiving, at a processor, the at least one detected physical feature;

analyzing, with the processor, at least a portion of the at least one detected physical feature to identify a patron;

associating, with the processor, data from the first gaming location with an account associated with the patron;

at a second non-gaming location in the gaming establishment, detecting, with another detection device, the at least one physical feature associated with the patron of the gaming establishment;

receiving, at the processor, the at least one detected physical feature;

analyzing, with the processor, the at least a portion of the at least one detected physical feature to identify the patron; and

adding additional data from the second non-gaming location to the account associated with the patron.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

configuring the account to initially lack any personal data related to the patron;

updating the account with personal information related to the patron to create a known account; and

providing information to the patron relating to the known account via a device linked to the known account.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein detecting the at least one physical feature associated with the patron of the gaming establishment comprises obtaining biometric information from the patron with the detection device comprising a biometric identification device.

11. A system for monitoring a patron in a gaming establishment, comprising:

a biometric identification device;

a remote processor; and

a gaming device;

the system configured to:

at the gaming device in the gaming establishment, detect, with the biometric identification device, facial features associated with a patron at the gaming establishment;

receive, at the remote processor, the facial features and data relating to actions of the patron at the gaming device;

analyze, with the remote processor, at least a portion of the facial features;

determine whether an account associated with the patron exists based on the analyzing of the facial features; and

associate the data relating to actions of the patron at the gaming device with the account associated with the patron.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is further configured to:

update the account with personal information related to the patron to create a known account; and

send information to the patron relating to the known account via a device linked to the known account.

13. A method of administering a game, the method comprising:

displaying, with a display device, a feature of the game at a display location on a gaming surface of a gaming device upon which the game is implemented;

tracking, with one or more identification devices, motions of one or more players participating in the game at the gaming surface of the gaming device; and

in response to the motions of the one or more players proximate the display location, altering the feature of the game with the display device.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein altering the feature of the game with the display device comprises moving the feature of the game comprising a prize wheel in correlation with motions of the one or more players proximate the prize wheel.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising enabling the one or more players to spin the prize wheel and projecting a result of the spin.

16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising, once a hand of the one or more players has traveled within a threshold volume proximate the prize wheel, locking movement of the prize wheel to further movement of the hand of the one or more players.

17. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

aligning the feature of the game with one or more areas of the gaming surface; and

projecting the feature of the game at the one or more areas of the gaming surface in response to an occurrence of selected event in the game.

18. The method of claim 13 , wherein altering the feature of the game with the display device comprises displaying a video element on the gaming surface of the gaming device along with accompanying audio.

19. The method of claim 13 , wherein tracking motions of the one or more players comprising:

monitoring the one or more players placing a wager with the one or more identification devices; and

projecting the feature of the game in response to placement of the wager at a select location on the gaming surface.

20. The method of claim 13 , further comprising monitoring at least one additional element associated with the gaming device with the one or more identification devices.

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein monitoring the at least one additional element comprising detecting, with the one or more identification devices, an amount of a wager placed by the one or more player by analyzing one or more wagering chips.

22. The method of claim 20 , further comprising detecting, with the one or more identification devices, biometric information from the one or more players.
