An interactive environment image may be displayed in a virtual environment space, and interaction with the interactive environment image may be detected within a three-dimensional space that corresponds to the virtual environment space. The interactive environment image may be a three-dimensional image, or it may be two-dimensional. An image is displayed to provide a visual representation of an interactive environment image including one or more virtual objects, which may be spatially positioned. User interaction with the visualized representation in the virtual environment space may be detected and, in response to user interaction, the interactive environment image may be changed.

The object of the present invention relates to an optimized energy management system of the hardware of electronic RF dice and for the efficient coordination of the same with remote terminals such as, for example, a PC, a tablet, a smartphone or a gaining console and can be conveniently used to significantly reduce the energy consumption of said electronic dice and increase the operating autonomy thereof while also allowing the use of smaller batteries. The proposed solution exploits the standard hardware implemented on the electronic board of said electronic RF dice, allowing to significantly improve the energy performance thereof and, consequently, increasing the life of the attached battery, through a management system of the energy-consuming components of said hardware and, in particular, of the microcontroller and accelerometer installed on said electronic board. The aforementioned system for reducing the consumption of an electronic game die is characterized by: Four different operating modes, i.e., four different activation levels of the hardware components and in particular of the microcontroller and accelerometer. Two different activation thresholds, which can be set and updated dynamically, detected by the accelerometer and aimed at activating the different hardware components and adjusting the transition between said operating modes. Means for the bidirectional transmission, by radio, of data to/from remote game devices, able to detect the active presence of said remote terminals and, particularly, whether or not the data sent has been received. Means for dynamically adapting the parameters of the four aforementioned operating modes and the two activation thresholds to the different use situations of the die, i.e., to different environmental and game conditions.

There is described an automated dice shaking mechanism for use for example in casinos. The dice shaking mechanism comprises a driving member; a drive shaft connected to the driving member and wherein the drive shaft is arranged in communication with a crank pin. The mechanism is operable such that the drive shaft is arranged to rotate about a drive shaft axis, the crank pin having a crank pin axis offset from the drive shaft axis; a control arm and a lifting member and wherein the control arm has a first end and an opposing second end. In the mechanism the first end is connected to the crank pin, the control arm is then arranged to move the lifting member along a vertical axis of the dice shaking mechanism. The lifting member comprises a frame attached to the second end of the control arm; and a platform attached to the frame, and in this way the platform movement provides the dice shaking and activation. The mechanism provides for improvements in reliability, repeatability and robustness of the casino gaming equipment.
