Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for unlocking hardware and associated functionality of gaming devices. Before a player reaches a predetermined progress level, enhanced user interface devices of the gaming device remain locked to the player. The functionality associated with the enhanced user interface devices also remains unavailable to the player while the enhanced user interface devices are locked. Once the player reaches the progress level, a hardware-unlock option is presented to the player allowing the player to unlock an enhanced user interface device and select a functionality associated with the unlocked enhanced user interface device. The availability of the hardware-unlock options and specific functionality to be activated can be limited based on in-game events and a progress level reached by the player.

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.
