1. An electronic gaming system comprising:
a housing;
a plurality of movable illuminable panels arranged in a rectangular array;
a plurality of linear drive mechanisms, each linear drive mechanism connected with one of the movable illuminable panels and configured to translate the movable illuminable panel connected therewith relative to the housing and along a corresponding first axis responsive to receipt of a control signal; and
a game controller that includes one or more processors and one or more memory devices, wherein:
the first axes are parallel to one another,
the one or more processors and the one or more memory devices are operably connected, and
the one or more memory devices store computer-executable instructions for controlling the one or more processors to:
present a wagering game using one or more displays, and
cause the linear drive mechanisms to be selectively actuated to cause the movable illuminable panels connected therewith to translate along the first axes responsive to receipt of one or more control signals.
