Presenting lighting content in wagering game systems
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for presenting a lighting show in a wagering game system, the method comprising:
- receiving, over a first network, a playlist identifier that identifies a playlist, wherein the playlist is associated with a first group of lighting commands for presenting lighting effects on a plurality of lighting devices of the wagering game system;
generating, by at least one processor of the wagering game system, the first group of lighting commands based on the identified playlist;
receiving, over the first network, a second group of lighting commands for presenting the lighting effects on the plurality of lighting devices of the wagering game system;
generating, by the at least one processor of the wagering game system and based on the first and second groups of lighting commands, a plurality of lighting instructions specific to the plurality of lighting devices; and
transmitting, over a second network different from the first network, the plurality of lighting instructions for execution by one or more lighting controllers connected to the plurality of lighting devices, wherein the execution causes the lighting effects to present the lighting show.

Abstract
Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter include operations for presenting a lighting show in a wagering game system. The operations can include receiving, over a first network, a playlist identifier that identifies a playlist, where the playlist is associated with a first group of lighting commands for presenting lighting effects on lighting devices in the wagering game system. The operations can also include generating the first group of lighting commands, and receiving, over the first network, a second group of lighting commands for presenting the lighting effects on the lighting devices in the wagering game system. The operations can also include generating, based on the first and second groups of lighting commands, instructions specific to the lighting devices, and transmitting, over a second network, the instructions for execution by one or more lighting controllers connected to the lighting devices, wherein the execution causes the lighting effects.
