Electronic gaming machine having a variable position gaming display and a flexible gaming display responsive to gaming conditions

1. An electronic gaming system comprising:

a gaming cabinet;

a display mounting structure mounted to the gaming cabinet;

a variable position display mounted to the display mounting structure and operable to display a game;

a housing operable to retractably extend an extendable display screen; and

a controller comprising a processor and memory, the memory stores a movement sequence and a game program, which, when executed, causes the processor to at least:

initiate, in response to one or more predefined gaming conditions, the movement sequence causing the display mounting structure a rotational movement of the variable position display from a first position having a first horizontal dimension to a second position having a second horizontal dimension while in a spaced apart relationship from the gaming cabinet and the housing to permit the movement sequence, and

initiate, in response to the rotational movement of the variable position display to the second position, the game program operable to a) retractably extend the extendable display screen with respect to the housing relatively to the rotational movement of the variable position display to have an extended horizontal dimension that matches the second horizontal dimension, and b) at least present the game and a game outcome of the game on the variable position display in the second position.

2. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game program, when executed, causes the processor to detect a game instance, detect the first position, and drive the display mounting structure to position the variable position display from the first position to the second position based on a gaming event.

3. The electronic gaming system of claim 2 , further comprising an orientation detecting device operable to detect at least one of a position and orientation of the variable position display relative to the extendable display screen, and extend a secondary extendable display screen with respect to the extendable display screen to align with the variable position display.

4. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game program, when executed, causes the processor to drive the display mounting structure to translate, rotate, tilt, or some combination of translation, rotation or tilting, the variable position display based on one or more gaming conditions.

5. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game program, when executed, causes the variable position display to translate toward, away or vertically parallel with respect to the gaming cabinet.

6. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game program, when executed, causes the variable position display to rotate through 360 or more degrees of rotation, between at a first orientation and a second orientation with respect to the gaming cabinet.

7. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game program, when executed, causes the variable position display to rotate through a plurality of increments of rotation, between at a first orientation and a second orientation with respect to the gaming cabinet.

8. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game program, when executed, causes the variable position display to tilt toward the gaming cabinet.

9. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game program, when executed, causes the extendable display screen to retract relative to the housing, while the variable position display is rotating with respect to the gaming cabinet.

10. The electronic gaming system of claim 9 , wherein the game program, when executed, causes the extendable display screen to extend relative to the housing when the variable position display is rotating or stops rotating and provides clearance between the variable position display and the extendable display screen that is extending.

11. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the display mounting structure is operatively connected to a track arranged with the gaming cabinet that allows the variable position display to translate horizontally.

12. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the display mounting structure includes at least one of a telescoping structure and an articulating arm operable to extend or retract with respect to the gaming cabinet.

13. The electronic gaming system of claim 12 , wherein the telescoping structure includes a sequence of nested structures to extend or retract.

14. The electronic gaming system of claim 12 , wherein the articulating arm is operable to rotate the variable position display.

15. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game program, when executed, causes the extendable display screen to align with the variable position display to provide a seamless display.

16. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game program, when executed, causes the variable position display to move asynchronously with the extendable display screen.

17. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game program, when executed, causes the variable position display to move synchronously with the extendable display screen.

18. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the extendable display screen is a first extendable display screen, and wherein the game program, when executed, causes the processor to move a second extendable display screen with respect to a different electronic gaming system in response to a game event occurring at the game.

19. The electronic gaming system of claim 18 , wherein the game program, when executed, causes the first extendable display screen to move asynchronously with respect to the second extendable display screen.

20. The electronic gaming system of claim 18 , wherein the game program, when executed, causes the first extendable display screen to move synchronously with respect to the second extendable display screen.
