Controlling power consumption in graphics components of gaming devices

A system comprising:

• a processor circuit;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor circuit, the memory comprising non-transitory machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to:
• provide first graphical content via a first gaming device interface of the gaming device to a second gaming device display interface of the gaming device;
• provide the first graphical content to a display device of the gaming device via the second gaming device display interface;
• determine whether a first trigger condition indicative of a power consumption reduction state for the gaming device has been satisfied;
• and
• in response to a determination that the first trigger condition has been satisfied:
• provide second graphical content to the display device via the second gaming device display interface;
• and
• discontinue provision of the first graphical content via the first gaming device display interface.

A method comprising:

• providing, by a processor circuit, a first graphical content to a first gaming device display interface of a gaming device via a second gaming device display interface coupled in series between the first gaming device display interface and the display device;
• determining, by a processor circuit of the gaming device, whether a first trigger condition indicative of a power consumption reduction state for the gaming device has been satisfied;
• and
• in response to determining that the first trigger condition has been satisfied:
• providing second graphical content to the display device via the second gaming device display interface;
• and
• discontinuing provision of the first graphical content to the display device via the second gaming device display interface.
