3D ENHANCED GAMING MACHINE WITH FOREGROUND AND BACKGROUND GAME SURFACES

摘要

Disclosed is an electronic gaming machine that includes an electronic data store storing game data for a given game; an electronic 3D-enabled gaming display; and one or more processors. The processors are configured to: generate, with at least a three-dimensional graphics processor, game surfaces using the game data, each of the game surfaces for displaying at least one game symbol thereon; present a three-dimensional view of the game surfaces on the electronic display, the game surfaces arranged in layers such that a foreground game surface appears to be closer to the user than a background game surface; and in response to a game trigger event: remove at least one game symbol displayed on the foreground game surface from the game; and integrate at least one game symbol displayed on the background game surface into the game such that the integrated game symbol interacts with remaining game symbols displayed on the foreground game surface.

1. An electronic gaming machine comprising:
an electronic data store storing game data for a given game; an electronic 3D-enabled gaming display; and one or more processors in communication with the at least one electronic data store and the electronic 3D-enabled gaming display, the one or more processors comprising a three-dimensional graphics processor; the one or more processors configured to:
generate, with at least the three-dimensional graphics processor, a plurality of game surfaces using the game data, each of the game surfaces for displaying at least one game symbol thereon;present a three-dimensional view of the game surfaces on the electronic 3D-enabled gaming display, the game surfaces arranged in layers such that a foreground game surface of the plurality of game surfaces appears to be closer to the user than a background game surface of the plurality of game surfaces, the foreground game surface having a plurality of game symbols displayed thereon; andin response to a game trigger event:
remove at least one game symbol displayed on the foreground game surface from the given game in association with a graphical animation effect displayed on the electronic 3D-enabled gaming display representative of the removing, the graphical animation effect comprising a visual designation of the at least one game symbol; andintegrate at least one game symbol displayed on the background game surface into the given game in association with a graphical animation effect displayed on the electronic 3-D gaming display representative of the integrating, such that the integrated at least one game symbol interacts with remaining game symbols displayed on the foreground game surface.
