1. A system, comprising:

  • a touch-sensitive input device configured to sense a contact from a user;

    an actuator coupled to the touch-sensitive input device, the actuator configured to output a haptic effect to the touch-sensitive input device; and

    a processor in communication with the touch-sensitive input device and the actuator, the processor configured to execute a casino game application, the casino game application configured to;

    generate a display signal configured to cause an image associated with a card game to be displayed, the image comprising a plurality of playing cards and a discard area;

    receive an input signal from the touch-sensitive input device associated with the contact;

    determine a first interaction between the contact and the image;

    determine a selection of a first playing card of the plurality of playing cards based on the first interaction;

    generate a first actuator signal associated with the interaction, the actuator signal configured to cause the actuator to generate a first haptic effect;

    transmit the first actuator signal to the actuator;

    determine a gesture associated with the selection, wherein the gesture comprises a drag;

    in response to the first playing card being dragged, generate a second actuator signal based on the gesture, the second actuator signal configured to cause the actuator to output a second haptic effect; and

    transmit the second actuator signal to the actuator.
