1. A gaming system comprising:
- a housing;
at least one processor;
a display device supported by the housing, the display device including a first display screen and a second display screen, wherein the first display screen and the second display screen are aligned such that at least one line of sight of a player extends through both the first display screen and the second display screen; and
at least one memory device storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to operate with the at least one display device to;
(a) determine a first location on the first display screen at which to display a portion of a first image, wherein;
(i) the first location is a first distance from a first reference plane and a second distance from a second reference plane, and(ii) the first reference plane and the second reference plane are perpendicular;
(b) determine a second location on the second display screen at which to display a portion of a second image, wherein;
(i) the second location is a third distance from the first reference plane and a fourth distance from the second reference plane, and at least one of;
(A) the first distance from the first reference plane and the third distance from the first reference plane are different, and (B) the second distance from the second reference plane and the fourth distance from the second reference plane are different; and
(ii) the at least one processor determines the second location based on a distance separating the player from the first display screen and the determined first location on the first display screen at which to display the portion of the first image; and
(c) display the portion of the first image at the determined first location on the first display screen and the portion of the second image at the determined second location on the second display screen.

Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide gaming systems having reduced appearance of parallax artifacts on display devices including multiple display screens. In one embodiment, the gaming system determines a location on a first display screen of a display device at which to display a portion of a first image and subsequently determines, based on that determined location and one or more other variables, a location on a second display screen of the display device at which to display a portion of a second image such that the appearance of parallax artifacts associated with the first image and the second image is reduced or eliminated.

1. A gaming system comprising:
-
a housing; at least one processor; a display device supported by the housing, the display device including a first display screen and a second display screen, wherein the first display screen and the second display screen are aligned such that at least one line of sight of a player extends through both the first display screen and the second display screen; and at least one memory device storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to operate with the at least one display device to; (a) determine a first location on the first display screen at which to display a portion of a first image, wherein; (i) the first location is a first distance from a first reference plane and a second distance from a second reference plane, and (ii) the first reference plane and the second reference plane are perpendicular; (b) determine a second location on the second display screen at which to display a portion of a second image, wherein; (i) the second location is a third distance from the first reference plane and a fourth distance from the second reference plane, and at least one of;
(A) the first distance from the first reference plane and the third distance from the first reference plane are different, and (B) the second distance from the second reference plane and the fourth distance from the second reference plane are different; and(ii) the at least one processor determines the second location based on a distance separating the player from the first display screen and the determined first location on the first display screen at which to display the portion of the first image; and (c) display the portion of the first image at the determined first location on the first display screen and the portion of the second image at the determined second location on the second display screen. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of operating gaming system, the gaming system including a housing and a display device supported by the housing, the display device including a first display screen and a second display screen, wherein the first display screen and the second display screen are aligned such that at least one line of sight of a player extends through both the first display screen and the second display screen, said method comprising causing at least one processor to execute a plurality of instructions stored in at least one memory device to:
-
(a) determine a first location on the first display screen at which to display a portion of a first image, wherein; (i) the first location is a first distance from a first reference plane and a second distance from a second reference plane, and (ii) the first reference plane and the second reference plane are perpendicular; (b) determine a second location on the second display screen at which to display a portion of a second image, wherein; (i) the second location is a third distance from the first reference plane and a fourth distance from the second reference plane, and at least one of;
(A) the first distance from the first reference plane and the third distance from the first reference plane are different, and (B) the second distance from the second reference plane and the fourth distance from the second reference plane are different; and(ii) the at least one processor determines the second location based on a distance separating the player from the first display screen and the determined first location on the first display screen at which to display the portion of the first image; and (c) operate with the display device to display the portion of the first image at the determined first location on the first display screen and the portion of the second image at the determined second location on the second display screen. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
