Systems and methods for casino gaming haptics
First Claim
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;
generate a display signal configured to cause an image associated with a casino game to be displayed;
receive an input signal from the touch-sensitive input device associated with the contact;
determine an interaction between the contact and the image; and
generate an actuator signal associated with the interaction, the actuator signal configured to cause the actuator to generate a haptic effect, wherein the haptic effect is associated with one of shaking virtual dice, moving a virtual playing card, pulling a lever on a virtual slot machine, or spinning a virtual roulette wheel.
