A table may be searched to determine an action the user of the terminal selected to be performed in the casino game using the input from the user. The action to be performed in the casino game may then be transmitted to a processor of a gaming device. A next screen to be displayed to the user after the user's selected action is performed may be received from the gaming device. This next screen may be transmitted to the terminal to be displayed to the user.
