Configuring and controlling wagering game presentations

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more machine readable storable devices including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, the instructions including,
• instructions to present a configuration interface to enable creation of a presentation template that controls presentation of wagering game content,
• instructions to receive, via the configuration interface, user input to define presentation areas in the presentation template,
• instructions to receive, via the configuration interface, user input to define content types to be displayed in the presentation areas, and to define display locations for the presentation areas, wherein the content types limit types of the wagering game content that can be presented in the presentation areas, and
• instructions to create the presentation template based on the presentation areas, the display locations for the presentation areas, and the content types to be displayed in the presentation areas,
• wherein the wagering game content comprises a wagering game, wherein the wagering game is presented on a wagering game machine in response to input at a player input device of the wagering game machine, wherein an outcome of the wagering game is determined based, at least in part, on one or more random elements to cause an electronic display of the wagering game machine to display the outcome, and wherein a tangible award is credited in response to the outcome meeting a predetermined award criterion.

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

• presenting a configuration interface to enable creation of a presentation template that controls presentation of wagering game content on a wagering game machine;
• receiving a first user input selecting the presentation template from a plurality of presentation templates, wherein the presentation template satisfies at least one constraint defined for the wagering game machine;
• receiving a second user input in the configuration interface;
• defining, based on the second user input, presentation areas in the presentation template;
• defining, based on the second user input, a first configuration setting for at least a first presentation area of the presentation areas, wherein the first configuration setting limits a first content type to be displayed in the first presentation area and defines a display location of the first presentation area;
• and
• creating the presentation template based on the at least one constraint defined for the wagering game machine and the first configuration setting for the first presentation area,
• wherein the wagering game content comprises a wagering game, wherein the wagering game is presented on the wagering game machine in response to input at a player input device of the wagering game machine, wherein an outcome of the wagering game is determined based, at least in part, on one or more random elements to cause an electronic display of the wagering game machine to display the outcome, and wherein a tangible award is credited in response to the outcome meeting a predetermined award criterion.
