Abstract
Pressure and time sensitive inputs for gaming devices, and related devices, systems, and methods, are disclosed. An input device includes a pressure sensor to detect an amount of pressure applied to the input device by a player of the gaming device. A processor circuit receives, from the pressure sensor of the input device, a first pressure parameter value corresponding to a first amount of pressure being applied to the input device by the player at a first time. Based on the first pressure parameter value, a time value is determined corresponding to an amount of time that the player has continuously applied pressure to the input device in a first range of pressure amounts, wherein the first amount of pressure is within the first range of pressure amounts. Based on the first pressure parameter value and the time value, a user interface element of the gaming device is modified.
