Abstract
A wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In embodiments, the operations can determine different objects and/or portions within a wagering game video image and split the wagering game video image into multiple video streams containing different parts of the wagering game video image. The operations can then present the multiple video streams on multiple displays. The multiple displays can show the different parts of the wagering game video image appearing as separate and distinct video images. In some embodiments, some of the multiple displays can be placed in front of other displays. The operations can generate transparent masks that allow images to be seen through a display.

20. A wagering game machine, comprising:
-
a wagering game processor configured to generate a first video stream including a wagering game video image of wagering game content; and a video controller configured to obtain an input pixel from the first video stream, wherein the first video stream has a given video resolution, compare the input pixel to a corresponding template pixel from a mask template, wherein the mask template has the same video resolution as the first video stream and the template pixel is in the same location on the mask template as the input pixel is on the wagering game video image according to the video resolution, determine a template pixel value associated with the template pixel, wherein the template pixel value indicates one of a plurality of output video streams, wherein the plurality of output video streams have the same video resolution as the first video stream, send the input pixel to the one of the plurality of output video streams indicated by the template pixel value, and send a static pixel image to all other output video streams, from the plurality of output video streams, which did not receive the input pixel. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
