Abstract
Pressure and movement sensitive inputs for gaming devices, and related devices, systems, and methods, are disclosed. An input device includes a plurality of input locations and a pressure sensor to detect, for each input location, an amount of pressure applied by a player to the input device at the input location of the gaming device. A processor circuit receives, from the pressure sensor, a first pressure parameter value corresponding to a first amount of pressure being applied by the player to the input device at a first input location at a first time, and a second pressure parameter value corresponding to a second amount of pressure being applied by the player to the input device at a second input location at a second, later time. Based on the first pressure parameter value and the second pressure parameter value, a user interface element of the gaming device may be modified.
