Patent ID: 8608550

Claim:
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.
