1. An electronic gaming machine, comprising:
a processing circuit;
a display screen coupled to the processing circuit, wherein the display of the electronic gaming machine comprises a first screen area and a second screen area; and
a transceiver coupled to the processing circuit and configured to provide wireless communications with an augmented reality (AR) display device that is separate from the electronic gaming machine;
wherein the processing circuit:
displays a game element in the first screen area of the display screen; and
transmits screen location data to the AR display device identifying the second screen area on the display screen, other than the first screen area, that is available for the AR display device to overlay AR graphics in a field of view of a user of the AR display device without overlaying the game element displayed in the first screen area of the display screen,
wherein the processing circuit transmits a second game element to the AR device and transmits a command to the AR device to display the second game element within the field of view of the user.
