Abstract
A gaming console configured with an auxiliary flexible display unit, e.g., a flexible LCD unit, providing different viewing angles for viewing displayed messages of advertisements is provided. The flexible display unit may comprise a plurality of individual flexible display modules which may be oriented as to define separate viewing windows or corridors to display related or unrelated messages, viewable from different directions. Corridors of viewing may be defined by software so that the flexible display unit may present messages uniquely to each defined corridor, which corresponds to one or more flexible display modules or portions thereof.
