Projection surface gaming system with interactive video projection
The granted patent US12039828B2 describes a projection surface gaming system designed to enhance player interaction through advanced technology. The system integrates a facial recognition system, an object sensing system, a video projection device, and a controller with a processor. The core functionality involves recognizing players via facial identification and initiating bonus games for those identified as "refused name players." The system projects animated award images onto a physical gaming table, allowing players to interact with these images. The controller detects player interactions and updates the displayed awards accordingly, distinguishing between anonymous and carded players by replacing bonus images with specific award indicators.
Additionally, the system includes features for tracking player activity and managing gaming sessions. It can generate anonymous player tracking accounts and credit awards to these accounts. The processor is programmed to recognize physical player loyalty cards placed on the gaming surface, linking them to existing player tracking accounts. This allows for the initiation of gaming sessions based on identified accounts. The system also monitors wagering activity, enabling the initiation of further bonus games based on player engagement. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive method for enhancing the gaming experience through interactive technology and personalized player tracking.
