Abstract

Examples disclosed herein relate to systems and methods, which may receive wagers on one or more paylines. The systems and methods may utilize one or more symbol positions which may provide additional gaming functionality. The systems and methods may determine one or more payouts based on the additional gaming functionality. The systems and methods may display one or more presentations based on the additional gaming functionality. The systems and methods may utilize a first display device. The first display device may include a first display area, a first silk-screen area, a first insulation area, and a first border area. The first display area, the first silk-screen area, the first insulation area, and the first border area may be flush with each other. The first insulation area may provide electrical isolation between the first border area and the first display area and/or the silk-screen area. The first insulation area may provide a mechanical buffer between the border area and the first display area and/or the silk-screen area.

7. The electronic gaming system of claim 1, further comprising at least one of one or more cameras, one or more sensing devices, and one or more motion detection devices.

8. The electronic gaming system of claim 7, wherein the one or more cameras, the one or more sensing devices, and the one or more motion detection devices may be utilized to receive one or more inputs.

9. The electronic gaming system of claim 1, further comprising one or more adjustment devices, where the one or more adjustment devices are configured to reposition one or more of the first display area, the silk-screen area, the insulation area, and the border area.

10. The electronic gaming system of claim 9, wherein the one or more adjustment devices repositions the first display area, the silk-screen area, the insulation area, and the border area based on at least one of a player'"'"'s input and one or more characteristics from the first display area, the silk-screen area, the insulation area, and the border area.

11. A method of game play via an electronic gaming system comprising:

(a) determining one or more characteristics from a first display area, a silk-screen area, an insulation area, and a border area;

(b) determining one or more positions for the first display area, the silk-screen area, the insulation area, and the border area based on the one or more characteristics for the first display area, the silk-screen area, the insulation area, and the border area;

(c) determining one or more positional adjustments for the first display area, the silk-screen area, the insulation area, and the border area; and

(d) moving via one or more adjustment devices one or more of the first display area, the silk-screen area, the insulation area, and the border area based one or more determined positional adjustments.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the one or more positional adjustments are at least in part based on player input.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the one or more positional adjustments are at least in part based on performance data from the first display device.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the one or more positional adjustments are at least in part based on a device procedure.
