CA 2631194
A gaming system includes one or more gaming machines, a display system, and a player input system. The display system includes a display screen that displays player interactive information, and the player input system includes a secondary input means. The secondary input means include soft keys that are mapped to particular coordinate-defined point or region ("hot spots"). In this regard, activation of a soft key replicates a mouse "click" or a touch screen "event." The software implementation of the soft- keys is independent of the content being displayed, as long as the navigation buttons fall on the "hot-spots" associated with the soft-keys. In regard, when a soft-key is pressed it generates a mouse click event at its respective "hot-spot" coordinates. Soft-keys may be implemented with existing content since they require no code change. Accordingly, soft keys enable a content developer to develop content without requiring addition coding to implement the soft-keys themselves. In this manner, soft keys implementation is simplified due to their communication with the operating system of a generated mouse click event at a "hot-spot" coordinate.
