Integrating three-dimensional elements into gaming environments

One or more non-transitory, machine-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a set of one or more processors of a gaming system cause the set of one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• presenting, via the gaming system, wagering game content for a casino wagering game in a two-dimensional mode via an electronic display device of the gaming system;
• detecting, via the gaming system, an indication to toggle a presentation of the wagering game content from the two-dimensional mode to a stereoscopic three-dimensional mode;
• detecting, via the gaming system, a value associated with one or more of a degree of game history of the casino wagering game or a degree of player activity associated with the casino wagering game;
• determining, via the gaming system, a first portion of the wagering game content to present with a stereoscopic three-dimensional effect, wherein the first portion is proportional to the value associated with the one or more of the degree of game history or the degree of player activity;
• presenting, via the gaming system, the first portion of the wagering game content with the stereoscopic three-dimensional effect via the electronic display device in the stereoscopic three-dimensional mode;
• and
• presenting, via the gaming system, a second portion of the wagering game content via the electronic display device in the two-dimensional mode simultaneous with the presenting the first portion of the wagering game content with the stereoscopic three-dimensional effect.

A gaming system comprising:

• one or more wagering game controllers configured to control wagering game play of one or more casino wagering games;
• at least one display device configured to present wagering game content for the one or more casino wagering games according to one or more of a two-dimensional display effect or a stereoscopic three-dimensional display effect;
• and
• a graphics controller configured to,
• present wagering game content for at least one of the one or more casino wagering games in a two-dimensional mode via the at least one display device;
• determine, via the one or more wagering game controllers, a change to a game condition for the at least one of the one or more casino wagering games when the wagering game content is presented in the two-dimensional mode;
• determine an amount of the change to the game condition;
• toggle a presentation of at least a portion of the wagering game content from the two-dimensional mode to a stereoscopic three-dimensional mode in response to determining the change in the game condition;
• and
• present the at least the portion of the wagering game content with an amount of stereoscopic three-dimensional depth proportional to the amount of the change to the game condition.
