Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to systems, methods, and devices that enable interactions between a tag having conductive, coded ink and a gaming environment. As an example, a method is disclosed that includes providing a tag with an encoded physical medium that is readable by a touch-capable user interface, determining that the tag has been read by a touch-capable user interface of a gaming device in combination with detecting a gesture of the user at the touch-capable user interface of the gaming device, enabling the gaming device to provide a predetermined game feature in response to determining that the tag has been read by the touch-capable user interface of the gaming device in combination with detecting the gesture of the user at the touch-capable user interface of the gaming device, and updating an electronic record associated with the tag to indicate that the predetermined game feature has been enabled.
