Abstract

Systems and methods for projecting indirect lighting from a gaming apparatus are provided. One aspect of the invention utilizes projected light to increase a player's desire to play or continue to play the game. In still yet another aspect of the invention, projected indirect light is utilized to enhance the game play of an amusement device. In one such embodiment, light may be projected from underneath the apparatus of a driving game to simulate the 'under-body glow' effect used by car customizers. This has the primary effect of creating the appearance of such a customized car but also provides a substantially differentiated presentation of the game. In still yet a further aspect, light projected from a gaming apparatus increases the perceived space occupied by the game. In one embodiment, a distinctive logo is projected onto the wall above and behind a video game.
