Augmented reality systems and methods for providing a wagering game having real-world and virtual elements

Abstract

An augmented reality method for providing a wagering game having real-world and virtual elements includes generating a live video signal of a scene associated with a field of view of a user. At least one first gaming element in the scene corresponds to a first outcome of the wagering game. The method further includes determining, based on the live video signal, at least one second gaming element in real time. The method further includes displaying the at least one second gaming element to the user in association with the at least one first gaming element as part of the scene so that the second gaming element is displayed as part of the wagering game, wherein the at least one first gaming element and the at least one second gaming element corresponds to a second outcome of the wagering game.
