Abstract
An electronic gaming machine (EGM) for providing haptic feedback to a player is provided. The EGM includes a touchscreen having a touchscreen surface. The EGM also includes a heating device coupled to the touchscreen to selectively radiate heat from the touchscreen surface. The EGM further includes a processor coupled to the touchscreen and to the heating device. The processor may be configured to detect a game condition associated with the game and, in response to detecting the game condition, control the heating device to set a level of heat radiating from the touchscreen surface.
