Abstract
In various embodiments, motion is used to control games played on a mobile gaming device.
Claims17
A mobile device, comprising:
- a housing with a display screen;
- a motion sensor within the housing designed to detect motion of the mobile device;
- a motion-control to:
- detect motion-sensitive input,
- alternately enable motion-sensitive input of gambling commands, and
- disable motion-sensitive input of gambling commands;
- and
- at least one processor to:
- receive signals from the motion sensor and from the motion-control;
- when the motion-control is set to enable motion-sensitive input, provide gambling commands based on motion signals from the motion sensor;
- and
- when the motion-control is set to disable motion-sensitive input, not provide the gambling commands based on motion detection signals.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by at least one processor, motion-sensitive input from a motion control of a mobile device;
- controlling, by the at least one processor, sensitivity to motion-sensitive input;
- alternately enabling, by the at least one processor, motion-sensitive input of gambling commands;
- disabling, by the at least one processor, motion-sensitive input;
- receiving, by the at least one processor, signals from a motion sensor within the mobile device indicating motion of the mobile device;
- and
- when motion-sensitive input is enabled, providing, by the at least one processor, gambling commands to a gambling system based on motion signals from the motion sensor.
