| 20100120536 | ENTERTAINING VISUAL TRICKS FOR ELECTRONIC BETTING GAMES - Entertaining visual tricks for electronic betting games are described. In one implementation, a system receives gesture input, such as finger motions, from a user interface of a player at an electronic game table. The system maps the gesture input to known tricks and maneuvers to animate the virtual game components used in the electronic betting game, such as virtual playing cards, betting chips, dice, dice cups, tiles, and so forth. In one mode, the system divides the gesture input into segments and maps each segment to movement information for the virtual game component, enabling the player to record a custom visual trick. A motion synthesizer can apply kinematics to impart realistic or imaginary motion to the virtual game components, which can then be displayed across one or more video displays. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20090253503 | ELECTRONIC GAME SYSTEM WITH PLAYER-CONTROLLABLE SECURITY FOR DISPLAY IMAGES - Electronic game systems with player-controllable security for display images are described. In one implementation, an exemplary multiplayer system hides the identity of virtual game artifacts, such as playing cards, being displayed as images, but allows the player to whom the virtual game artifacts are assigned to view the identities of the virtual game artifacts at will. A sensor or a player-controlled device, such as a switch or a touch screen display, can change a display image in order to hide or reveal at least part of the identity of the virtual game artifact. The display image being secured by the system can be a virtual representation of a playing card, die, dice, domino, game tile, game-piece, roulette number, slot symbol, icon, or token. The system can also shield the identity of the virtual game artifact while the display image is at one visual size, and reveal the identity of the virtual game artifact when shrinking the visual size of the display image to afford security. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20100123668 | INTERACTIVE AND PROGRAMMABLE MEDIA SIGN AND GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR CASINO GAMES - An interactive and programmable media sign and graphical user interface for casino games is described. In one implementation, the media sign provides displayable content, such as a game logo, casino banner, and betting limits that can be edited through the same touch screen display that provides the display surface. The media sign recognizes touch gestures to extend a graphical user interface (GUI) for secure entry into an editing mode. Once a user is authenticated, the media sign extends a hierarchy of logically linked GUI pages for editing displayable content and display settings, including importing content. In its multiple display panes, the media sign can present, for example, text, images, slideshows, video, and commercial broadcasts. In one implementation, a current profile of displayable content and display settings can be exported to other media signs, so that a single operator can edit information at one media sign and automatically propagate the edits to numerous media signs in a casino. | 05-20-2010 |
