Method and system for controlling and synchronizing the display of content on multiple gaming machines and/or external displays

A system for generating and displaying synchronized gaming-related content in a gaming environment which includes a plurality of gaming machines and a plurality of gaming displays, comprising:

• a content synchronization controller which is separate from a controller of each of the plurality of gaming machines and which comprises a memory, a processor and machine-readable code stored in said memory and executable by said processor;
• a progressive controller which is separate from the controllers of each of the plurality of gaming machines and the content synchronization controller and which is communicatively coupled to said gaming machines and said content synchronization controller;
• a content server which is separate from the content synchronization controller and the progressive controller and comprises a content server processor and a database storing a plurality of content packages;
• said machine-readable code of said content synchronization controller configured to cause said processor thereof to detect, via one or more communication links, said plurality of gaming displays;
• said machine-readable code of said content synchronization controller configured to cause said processor thereof to receive user input of a selection of at least a first gaming display of said plurality of gaming displays and a second gaming display of said plurality of gaming displays;
• said machine-readable code of said content synchronization controller configured to cause said processor thereof to determine a first set of video display properties of said selected first gaming display of said plurality of gaming displays and a second set of video display properties of said selected a second gaming display of said plurality of gaming displays;
• said machine-readable code of said content synchronization server configured to cause said processor thereof to receive information regarding a location and orientation of said first and second gaming displays;
• said machine-readable code of said content synchronization server configured to cause said processor thereof to determine, using said location and orientation information, a physical spatial relationship of said first and second gaming displays;
• said machine-readable code of said content synchronization server configured to cause said processor thereof to receive input from said user of a selection of at least one of said content packages stored by said content server;
• said machine-readable code of said content synchronization server configured to cause said processor thereof to generate a first content configuration for said at least one gaming information content package for said first gaming display based at least in part upon said first set of video display properties thereof and said physical spatial relationship of said first and second gaming displays, and a second content configuration for said at least one gaming information content package for said second gaming display based at least in part upon said second set of video display properties thereof and said physical spatial relationship of said first and second gaming displays;
• and
• said machine-readable code of said content synchronization server configured to cause said processor thereof to cause, at a designated time, said first gaming display to present first video content based upon said first content configuration and said second video display to present second gaming content based upon said second content configuration, said first video content and said second video content synchronized in at least one of time and space.
