Abstract:
1. A method for offering wagering games for selection and presentation on a wagering game machine, the method comprising: presenting, by a processor, wagering game icons in an interface of the wagering game machine, wherein the wagering game icons form a row, and wherein each wagering game icon occupies a position in the row; detecting a sweeping screen touch on a touch screen, wherein the interface appears on the touch screen; shifting, based on the sweeping screen touch, the wagering game icons to different positions in the row, wherein the shifting causes a wagering game icon at an end position in the row to disappear from the interface, wherein the shifting also causes a previously presented wagering game icon to appear at another end position in the row; detecting a single tap on the touch screen, wherein the single tap coincides with one of the wagering game icons, wherein the one of the wagering game icons is associated with a wagering game, wherein the single tap causes presentation of configuration options for the wagering game, wherein the configuration options include a denomination selection, and wherein the single tap causes presentation of dynamic information associated with the wagering game and a player; determining a credit balance for the wagering game machine; determining that the credit balance for the wagering game machine is below one or more denominations for the wagering game; presenting the configuration options for the wagering game including the denomination selection, wherein the denomination selection includes denominations for the wagering game that are below the credit balance for the wagering game machine; determining the dynamic information associated with the wagering game and a player, wherein the dynamic information indicates social contacts associated with the player that have recently played the wagering game; presenting the dynamic information in the interface; detecting a double tap on the touch screen, wherein the double tap causes presentation of the wagering game; and presenting the wagering game.
