发明名称 Adaptive environmental effects
摘要 An establishment can coordinate devices (e.g., lights, speakers, displays) to enhance a game playing environment based on events detected in a network of wagering game machines. A system can be implemented that determines an environmental effect based on an event of a wagering game (e.g., a near win event), regardless of the particular wagering game developer/manufacturer. The system can then determine that the environmental effect should be modified based on current circumstances of the area to be impacted and/or the player, for example. The system modifies the environment effect as indicated for the current circumstances and causes the modified environmental effect to be produced.

主权项 1. A method for modifying environmental effect operations by a floor environment server comprising: selecting, by environmental effect selection logic of the floor environment server, a set of one or more environmental effect operations stored in a memory of the floor environment server, the selecting based, at least in part, on a wagering game event notification received over a communication network from one of a plurality of wagering game machines; determining, by an environmental effect manager of the floor environment server that at least a first environmental effect operation of the set of one or more environmental effect operations should be modified, wherein the set of environmental effect operations, when performed, generate environmental stimuli directed at an area; modifying, by an environmental effect modifier unit of the floor environment server, the first environmental effect operation in accordance with said determining that at least the first environmental effect operation should be modified; and transmitting, over the communication environmental effect initiator unit of the floor environment server, the first environmental effect operation to a light controller to generate the environmental stimuli.
