Abstract
A gaming system that includes an input device with a sensor configured to measure data associated with an interaction of a player with the input device during play of a game on the gaming machine. The gaming system further includes a processor programmed to receive measured data from the sensor, determine, from the received measured data, that the interaction of the player with the input device exceeds an acceptable interaction threshold level, associate one or more gaming events that correspond to the determination that the interaction of the player with the input device exceeds the acceptable interaction threshold level, and determine a mental state of the player based on: the associated one or more gaming events, and the determination that the interaction of the player with the input device exceeds the acceptable interaction threshold level.
