The technique includes obtaining a digital map of an integrated physical environment, and obtaining location information for an electronic gaming machine in the integrated physical environment. In addition, one or more live characteristics of the electronic gaming machine is obtained from the casino management system. A mapping interface is generated based on the digital map and the location information for the electronic gaming machine, and the electronic gaming machine is presented in accordance with the one or more live characteristics. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable code executable by one or more processors to: obtain a digital map of an integrated physical environment; obtain location information for an electronic gaming machine (EGM) in the integrated physical environment; obtain, from a casino management system, one or more live characteristics of the EGM; and generate a mapping interface with an enhanced digital map based on the digital map and the one or more live characteristics of the EGM. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, further comprising computer readable code to: receive, from the mapping interface at a mobile device, a navigation request to the EGM; and determine a navigable path from a current device location to a location of the EGM based on the location information for the EGM. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2, wherein the computer readable code to determine the navigable path comprises computer readable code to: apply a cost-based algorithm within the digital map to identify a candidate path to minimize cost, wherein cost is determined based on at least one of a group consisting of: time to the EGM, distance to the EGM, promotional offers, traffic patterns, and accessibility. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2, further comprising computer readable code to: present a graphical indication on the mapping interface of a local device; and present a graphical indication of the navigable path. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the one or more live characteristics are associated with an availability of the EGM. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, further comprising computer readable code to: obtain, from a third-party system associated with a location on the digital map, one or more live characteristics for the location, wherein the location is presented in the enhanced digital map in accordance with the one or more live characteristics for the location. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, further comprising computer readable code to: determine an additional target destination associated with the location on the digital map; and in accordance with a determination that the additional target destination is outside the integrated physical environment: present live characteristics for the additional target destination, and present a directional indicator on the digital map toward the additional target destination. ### Claim 8 A method, comprising: obtaining a digital map of an integrated physical environment; obtaining location information for an electronic gaming machine (EGM) in the integrated physical environment; obtaining, from a casino management system, one or more live characteristics of the EGM; and generating a mapping interface with an enhanced digital map based on the digital map and the one or more live characteristics of the EGM. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: receiving, from the mapping interface at a mobile device, a navigation request to the EGM; and determining a navigable path from a current device location to a location of the EGM based on the location information for the EGM. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, determining the navigable path comprises: applying a cost-based algorithm within the digital map to identify a candidate path to minimize cost, wherein cost is determined based on at least one of a group consisting of: time to the EGM, distance to the EGM, promotional offers, traffic patterns, and accessibility. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising: presenting a graphical indication on the mapping interface of a local device; and presenting a graphical indication of the navigable path. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more live characteristics are associated with an availability of the EGM. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: obtaining, from a third party system associated with a location on the digital map, one or more live characteristics for the location, wherein the location is presented in accordance with the one or more live characteristics for the location. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: determining an additional target destination associated with the location on the digital map; and in accordance with a determination that the additional target destination is outside the integrated physical environment: presenting live characteristics for the additional target destination, and presenting a directional indicator on the digital map toward the additional target destination. ### Claim 15 A system comprising: one or more processors; and one or more computer readable media comprising computer readable code executable by the one or more processors to: obtain a digital map of an integrated physical environment; obtain location information for an electronic gaming machine (EGM) in the integrated physical environment; obtain, from a casino management system, one or more live characteristics of the EGM; and generate a mapping interface with an enhanced digital map based on the digital map and the one or more live characteristics of the EGM. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, further comprising computer readable code to: receive, from the mapping interface at a mobile device, a navigation request to the EGM; and determine a navigable path from a current device location to a location of the EGM based on the location information for the EGM. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The system of claim 16, wherein the computer readable code to determine the navigable path comprises computer readable code to: apply a cost-based algorithm within the digital map to identify a candidate path to minimize cost, wherein cost is determined based on at least one of a group consisting of: time to the EGM, distance to the EGM, promotional offers, traffic patterns, and accessibility. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The system of claim 16, further comprising computer readable code to: present a graphical indication on the mapping interface of a local device; and present a graphical indication of the navigable path. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, wherein the one or more live characteristics are associated with an availability of the EGM. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, further comprising computer readable code to: obtain, from a third party system associated with a location on the digital map, one or more live characteristics for the location, wherein the location is presented in accordance with the one or more live characteristics for the location.
