Abstract
The present disclosure relates to electronic gaming systems, and more particularly electronic gaming machines having display devices that produce localized in-screen sounds.
Claims9
An electronic gaming machine comprising:
- a housing;
- a display device supported by the housing;
- a head position tracker supported by the housing;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- cause the display device to display a play of a game;
- operate with the head position tracker to capture player head position information;
- determine a head position of a player of the electronic gaming machine based on the player head position information;
- cause the display device to display an image comprising a 2D or 3D object, the 2D or 3D object having an object location with respect to a screen of the display device;
- cause the display device to generate a sound associated with the 2D or 3D object, wherein the sound emanates from a sound location on the screen of the display device determined based on the object location, wherein the sound location on the screen of the display device, the object location, and the head position are aligned along a first axis;
- operate with the head position tracker to detect movement of the head position of the player with respect to the display device;
- and
- responsively move the sound location on the screen of the display device such that the sound location, the object location, and the head position are in alignment along a second axis, wherein the second axis is different than the first axis.

- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- cause the display device to display a play of a game, wherein the play of the game includes a plurality of symbols each having a symbol location relative to a screen of the display device;
- cause the display device to generate a plurality of sounds corresponding to the plurality of symbols, wherein the plurality of sounds each emanate from a corresponding symbol location on the screen of the display device, and wherein the plurality of sounds includes a first set of sounds and a different second set of sounds;
- determine a first game state corresponding to the play of the game;
- cause the display device to generate the first set of sounds corresponding to the plurality of symbols, wherein the first set of sounds are based on the first game state;
- determine a second game state corresponding to the play of the game;
- and
- cause the display device to generate the second set of sounds corresponding to the plurality of symbols, wherein the second set of sounds are based on the second game state, and wherein the first set of sounds is different than the second set of sounds.
