Abstract

A computerized wagering game system includes a gaming module comprising gaming code which is operable when executed on to conduct a wagering game on which monetary value can be wagered, and a touchscreen incorporating audio feedback. In one embodiment, the display comprises a printed bistable liquid crystal display assembly, including a plurality of bistable liquid crystal display elements formed by printing at least a portion of each element onto a substrate. In another embodiment, the display comprises an emissive carbon nanotube display assembly, including a plurality of carbon nanotube elements operable to selectively emit electrons such that they strike a phosphor and cause it to emit light.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A computerized wagering game system, comprising: 
 a gaming module comprising a processor and gaming code which is operable when executed on the processor to present a wagering game on which monetary value can be wagered;    a touchscreen video display; and    an audio module operable to detect that input is received from the touchscreen video display, and to provide audio feedback indicating that the touchscreen input is received.    
   
   
       2 . The computerized wagering game system of  claim 1 , wherein the audio feedback comprises a clicking sound.  
   
   
       3 . The computerized wagering game system of  claim 1 , wherein the audio feedback comprises a keyboard sound.  
   
   
       4 . The computerized wagering game system of  claim 1 , wherein the keyboard sound comprises a bending spring keyboard.  
   
   
       5 . The computerized wagering game system of  claim 1 , wherein the audio feedback comprises a beep.  
   
   
       6 . The computerized wagering game system of  claim 1 , wherein the audio feedback comprises a typewriter sound.  
   
   
       7 . The computerized wagering game system of  claim 1 , wherein the audio feedback sound is user-configurable.  
   
   
       8 . A method of operating a computerized wagering game system, comprising: 
 conducting a wagering game on which monetary value can be wagered;    receiving input via a touchscreen video display;    detecting in an audio module that input is received from the touchscreen video display; and    providing audio feedback indicating that the touchscreen input is received.    
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the audio feedback comprises a clicking sound.  
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the audio feedback comprises a keyboard sound.  
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the keyboard sound comprises a bending spring keyboard.  
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the audio feedback comprises a beep.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the audio feedback comprises a typewriter sound.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the audio feedback sound is user-configurable.  
   
   
       15 . A machine-readable medium with instructions stored thereon, the instructions when executed operable to cause a computerized wagering game system to: 
 conduct a wagering game on which monetary value can be wagered;    receive input via a touchscreen video display;    detect in an audio module that input is received from the touchscreen video display; and    provide audio feedback indicating that the touchscreen input is received.    
   
   
       16 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the audio feedback comprises a clicking sound.  
   
   
       17 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the audio feedback comprises a keyboard sound.  
   
   
       18 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the keyboard sound comprises a bending spring keyboard.  
   
   
       19 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the audio feedback comprises a beep.  
   
   
       20 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the audio feedback comprises a typewriter sound.
