Coordinating three dimensional wagering game content presentations
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting, at a system controller of a wagering game system, an indication to present three dimensional (3D) wagering game content in a common display of the wagering game system for a plurality of players;
determining, at the system controller, that a number of active shutter 3D glasses of the wagering game system have been initiated;
determining, at the system controller, a number of distinct image channels associated with the 3D wagering game content to present sequentially in the common display of the wagering game system during a corresponding number of sequential time slots based, at least in part, on the number of active shutter 3D glasses of the wagering game system that have been initiated;
transmitting a first synchronization signal to the active shutter 3D glasses to synchronize lens film activation operations with a presentation of the distinct image channels associated with the 3D wagering game content in the common display;
sequentially presenting the distinct image channels associated with the 3D wagering game content in the common display during the corresponding number of sequential time slots according to a timing of the first synchronization signal;
determining that the plurality of players should see common images associated with the 3D wagering game content in the common display;
transmitting a second synchronization signal to the active shutter 3D glasses, wherein the second synchronization signal causes the active shutter 3D glasses to synchronize lens film activation operations with one another and a presentation of distinct channels of the common images; and
presenting the distinct channels of the common image in the common display.

Abstract
A wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In some embodiments, the operations can include determining a number of distinct channels of images associated with 3D wagering game content to present sequentially in a common display of the wagering game system during a corresponding number of sequential time slots based, at least in part, on a number of active shutter 3D glasses of the wagering game system that have been initiated. The operations can also include transmitting a synchronization signal to the active shutter 3D glasses to synchronize lens film activation operations with the presentation of the distinct channels of images in the common display. The operations can further include sequentially presenting the distinct channels of images associated with the 3D wagering game content in the common display during the corresponding number of sequential time slots according to a timing of the synchronization signal.
