• a gaming machine interface system configured for communication with at least a portion of a gaming machine control system including one or more processors, wherein the gaming machine control system controls the gaming machine display, and wherein the gaming machine interface system includes one or more wired interfaces configured for electrical connectivity with the gaming machine control system;
• a button deck module user interface system configured for receiving user input;
• a button deck module control system including one or more processors and configured for sending user input signals, via the gaming machine interface system, to the gaming machine control system, wherein the button deck module control system is configured to send, via the gaming machine interface system, trajectory information to at least the portion of the gaming machine control system, the trajectory information including information for controlling a gaming machine display device to display one or more images moving along the trajectory;
• and
• a button deck module display system including a curved display portion that is curved along an axis, the axis being horizontal when the button deck module is coupled to the main cabinet, the curved display portion being a concave display portion that resides along a side of the button deck module that is proximate an adjacent portion of the gaming machine display when the button deck module is coupled to the main cabinet, a curvature of the curved display portion being the same as a curvature of the adjacent portion of the gaming machine display, such that the curved display portion and the gaming machine display may simulate a smooth, substantially continuous motion of a displayed object moving between the button deck module and the gaming machine display.
