Touch screen controller system and method for a gaming machine

A method for operating a touch screen, the method performed by at least one processor in communication with at least one memory and with touch screen device hardware, the method comprising:

• detecting a plurality of touch inputs received via the touch screen device hardware;
• generating touch data labeling each of the plurality of touch inputs as being valid or invalid;
• generating a map including locations of one or more touch inputs of the plurality of touch inputs labeled as being invalid;
• identifying (i) at least one persistent invalid touch input location based on the map, and (ii) at least one instruction for remediation associated with the at least one persistent invalid touch input location;
• and
• causing the touch screen device hardware to display the at least one instruction.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by at least one processor in communication with at least one memory and with touch screen device hardware, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:

• detect a plurality of touch inputs received via the touch screen device hardware;
• generate touch data labeling each of the plurality of touch inputs as being valid or invalid;
• generate a map including locations of one or more touch inputs of the plurality of touch inputs labeled as being invalid;
• identify (i) at least one persistent invalid touch input location based on the map, and (ii) at least one instruction for remediation associated with the at least one persistent invalid touch input location;
• and
• cause the touch screen device hardware to display the at least one instruction.
