Abstract: Systems and methods for automated interaction with a touch-screen device are described. A method for interacting with a touch-screen device may include engaging a frame with the touch-screen device. The frame includes a first portion connected to a second portion by a hinge. The second portion is configured to support at least one of a solenoid and an optical sensor so as to be within an operative range of the touch-screen device. The method for interacting with a touch-screen device may further include pivoting the second portion about the hinge, and adjusting a depth of at least one of the solenoid and the optical sensor within the frame using an adjustment member.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated interaction with a touch-screen device are described. A system for automated interaction with a touch-screen device may include at least one optical sensor configured to sense at least a first portion of a touch-screen of the touch-screen device; at least one solenoid including an end effector that is tactilely detectable by the touch-screen, wherein operation of the at least one solenoid causes the end effector to tactilely engage with a second portion of the touch-screen; and a controller that is operatively connected to the at least one optical sensor and the at least one solenoid, and that is configured to operate the at least one solenoid in response to detecting a predetermined characteristic of the touch-screen via the at least one sensor.

Abstract: An automatic feeder system may include: an input bin configured to store at least one physical request slip; a feeder unit; and a support frame. The feeder unit may include a feed neck operable to automatically obtain a physical request slip from the input bin and convey it out from an outlet of the feed neck. The support frame may support the feeder unit so that the outlet is configured to engage with an input of a retailer system engaged with the automatic feeder system such that conveyance of the physical request slip out from the outlet causes the physical request slip to enter the input of the retailer system and cause the retailer system to generate a physical ticket for the game of chance based on the physical request slip.
