US Patent:
8096878, Jan 17, 2012
Filed:
Jun 29, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/306510
Inventors:
Timothy J. Durham - Oak Park IL, US
Mark B. Gagner - West Chicago IL, US
James M. Rasmussen - Chicago IL, US
Alfred Thomas - Las Vegas NV, US
Vladimir I. Arezina - Chicago IL, US
Stephen A. Canterbury - Antioch IL, US
Victor Mercado - Berwyn IL, US
Samuel D. Ralston - Chicago IL, US
Matthew R. Fitzsimons - Lake in the Hills IL, US
Assignee:
WMS Gaming Inc. - Waukegan IL
International Classification:
A63F 9/24
A63F 13/00
G06F 17/00
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
463 31, 463 20, 463 30, 463 32
Abstract:
A gaming machine for playing a wagering game includes a housing having a display region, a curved transparent layer located in the display region, and a video display. The video display is located behind the transparent layer for projecting moving images onto the transparent layer. The images including a plurality of symbols that indicate a randomly selected outcome of the wagering game. The curved transparent layer can be moving as well. Environmental mapping may be used to sense the location of the player and/or the ambient lighting surrounding the gaming machine and alter the images based on the sensing. The altering may include spectral highlights, shading, and the parallax effect. The video images may further include imperfections normally found in mechanical reel strips. The gaming machine provides video images that more closely simulate the look of traditional mechanical reels.

US Patent:
8403743, Mar 26, 2013
Filed:
Nov 13, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/270701
Inventors:
Larry J. Pacey - Chicago IL, US
James M. Rasmussen - Chicago IL, US
Timothy J. Durham - Oak Park IL, US
Mark B. Gagner - West Chicago IL, US
Alfred Thomas - Las Vegas NV, US
Vladimir I. Arezina - Chicago IL, US

Assignee:
WMS Gaming Inc. - Waukegan IL
International Classification:
A63F 13/00
US Classification:
463 20, 463 21
Abstract:
A method and system of operating a wagering game having simulated mechanical reels includes receiving a wager to play the wagering game. A first set of video images are displayed on a curved surface approximately a radius of curvature of a mechanical reel. The first set of video images simulates movement of a first set of reel symbols. In response to a triggering event, a second set of video images are displayed on the curved surface. The second set of video images simulate a transitioning from the first set of reel symbols to a second set of reel symbols.

Proximity Based Game Customization

View page
US Patent:
8602885, Dec 10, 2013
Filed:
Dec 22, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/275295
Inventors:
Vladimir Arezina - Chicago IL, US
Matthew Fitzsimons - Lake in the Hills IL, US
Ryan S. Mak - Chicago IL, US
Samuel D Ralston - Chicago IL, US
Vikram Swamy - Chicago IL, US
Assignee:
WMS Gaming Inc. - Waukegan IL
International Classification:
G07F 17/32
US Classification:
463 29, 463 16, 463 20, 463 25
Abstract:
Potential player proximity to a gaming machine is sensed, and used to customize the gaming machine. The potential player position may be sensed in different manners including via an ID card carried by the potential player with triangulation sensors, a cell phone, or via biometrics. The identity of the player is also associated with the ID card, and is used to access a database containing information about the potential player or type of player. Based on that stored information, the proximate gaming machine may be customized with a game or various attract modes that are more likely to attract the potential player. In further embodiments, information known to be desired by the potential player, such as sporting results may also be displayed to attract the potential player. In still further embodiments, various profiling techniques may be utilized to identify desired customizations of proximately located gaming machines.
