Integrating wagering games and environmental conditions

摘要

A wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In embodiments, the operations can include detecting characteristics of at least one environmental condition in an external environment that is external to a wagering game machine in a casino (e.g., detect activity that occurs in the casino, detect appearance of people and objects in the casino, detect light and sound events, etc.). The operations can further include generating an animated wagering game effect in a wagering game animation, using the detected characteristics of the environmental condition. The animated wagering game effect can affect one or more wagering game objects within the wagering game animation in a way that emulates the environmental condition.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and one or more memory storage devices configured to store instructions, which when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations to
detect that a physical object is within view of an image capture device associated with a wagering game machine, wherein the physical object is within a physical environment external to the wagering game machine in a casino,generate an animated wagering game object within an animated environment, based on the physical object, wherein the animated environment is presented via a display of the wagering game machine as a virtual representation of the physical environment for a wagering game application,determine, while the physical object is in view of the image capture device, real-time movement of the physical object,present, via the display of the wagering game machine, the animated wagering game object moving about the animated environment to match the real-time movement of the physical object relative to the physical environment,detect, via sensors associated with the wagering game machine, an environmental condition external to the wagering game machine,in response to detection of the environmental condition external to the wagering game machine, generate an animated effect within the animated environment,present, within the animated environment, the animated effect, andcause the animated wagering game object to move within the animated environment based on the animated effect within the animated environment.
