Abstract
A system includes a display device including a display surface configured to display a graphic and including an opening. The system also includes a peripheral device mounted within the opening of the display surface, and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory device, which when executed, cause the processor to at least: display the graphic on the display surface of the display device adjacent to the peripheral device, whereby the graphic is displayed at least partially in association with the peripheral device.
Claims13
An electronic gaming device comprising:
- a display device including a display surface that includes an opening;
- a peripheral device mounted within the opening, wherein the peripheral device comprises at least one of a bill acceptor, a ticket voucher acceptor, a printer, a barcode scanner, a camera, or a player identification card reader;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute instructions stored in at least one memory device, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- cause display of a first graphic at a first location on the electronic gaming device, wherein the first location is adjacent to the peripheral device, and wherein the first graphic provides instructions for interacting with the peripheral device;
- determine that a trigger event has occurred, wherein the trigger event is an interaction with the peripheral device;
- and
- based upon the trigger event occurring, cause display of a second graphic at a second location on the electronic gaming device, wherein the second graphic provides instructions for a subsequent interaction with the electronic gaming device.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- cause display of a first graphic at a first location on an electronic gaming device, wherein the electronic gaming device includes a display device including a display surface that includes an opening and a peripheral device mounted within the opening, wherein the peripheral device comprises at least one of a bill acceptor, a ticket voucher acceptor, a printer, a barcode scanner, a camera, or a player identification card reader, wherein the first location is adjacent to the peripheral device, and wherein the first graphic provides instructions for interacting with the peripheral device;
- determine that a trigger event has occurred, wherein the trigger event is an interaction with the peripheral device;
- and
- based upon the trigger event occurring, cause display of a second graphic at a second location on the electronic gaming device, wherein the second graphic provides instructions for a subsequent interaction with the electronic gaming device.
A method of electronic gaming implemented by at least one processor in communication with at least one memory, the method comprising:
- causing display of a first graphic at a first location on an electronic gaming device, wherein the electronic gaming device includes a display device including a display surface that includes an opening and a peripheral device mounted within the opening, wherein the peripheral device comprises at least one of a bill acceptor, a ticket voucher acceptor, a printer, a barcode scanner, a camera, or a player identification card reader, wherein the first location is adjacent to the peripheral device, and wherein the first graphic provides instructions for interacting with the peripheral device;
- determining that a trigger event has occurred, wherein the trigger event is an interaction with the peripheral device;
- and
- based upon the trigger event occurring, causing display of a second graphic at a second location on the electronic gaming device, wherein the second graphic provides instructions for a subsequent interaction with the electronic gaming device.
