• a control panel may be provided with elements such as a coin slot, a receipt printer, and control buttons like bet buttons or a start/stop button. These elements can be mechanically or sensor-activated and, among other things, serve to start or stop rotating reels.
• Such gaming machines incorporate additional screens not only to display supplementary game information, such as other game options or the status of other bets, but also to allow different games to run simultaneously. This way, the player can enjoy additional entertainment from the other screen during less engaging game segments.

• the control system associated with the touch panel is designed so that a user can set the reels in motion by swiping their finger across the panel. Sensors on the touch panel detect this swiping motion, which the control system then translates into corresponding action for the reel drives or the screen display.

• the use of a touch panel with at least one curved panel section offers particular advantages, even for devices with only one screen, regardless of the features described above. In particular, it allows for organic housing shapes that can be designed harmoniously with smooth, especially curved, outer or visible surfaces, without regard to a specific screen contour.
• a touch panel with at least one section having at least a uniaxial curvature can extend, in particular, over a flat display surface of a display unit of the interactive terminal.

• corner areas of the touch panel can be curved towards the operator station, while advantageously a central area of the touch panel can be flat or uniaxially curved.
• a curved touch panel can be installed across display units whose display surfaces are not in a common plane, in order to create a uniform front area of the device housing facing the operator station even with such an arrangement of display units, while simultaneously adapting the touch panel to the display units.

• At least one of the display units covered by the touch panel has a display surface contour that differs from that of the touch panel above it.
• the touch panel does not need to follow the contour of the display surface of the underlying display unit identically, but can be contoured independently and be spaced more or less far from the display surface of the underlying display device. This means that a uniform gap between the display surface of the respective display unit and the touch panel above it is not required, although this can be the case.
• the touch panel can rest directly on the display surface of the underlying display device and make point, line, or area contact with it. However, the touch panel can also be arranged completely without contact with the display device.
• different distances can be provided between different display units on the one hand and the touch panel on the other, i.e. the display units can be installed at different distances from the touch panel, so that a higher degree of freedom in the positioning of the display units is achieved without sacrificing a uniform housing front.
• the touch panel is transparent, and the display units can have separate display surfaces, in particular screen surfaces, but also mechanical display surfaces, in front of which the transparent touch panel extends.
• the touch panel therefore does not have to form the display surface of the respective display device. Rather, the touch panel is advantageously a separate assembly, with each display unit having its own display surface. for displaying the respective information or display elements, for example in the form of a screen interface.
• the invention provides for the arrangement of multiple display units at obtuse angles to one another.
• two or three screens, each obtusely angled to one another can be arranged one above the other, so that the operator's line of sight falls approximately perpendicularly onto each respective display unit.
• the touch panel is nevertheless designed without kinks in such an obtuse-angled arrangement of the display units, in order to achieve a uniform device front and avoid housing sections that are difficult to form.
• the touch panel can have a concavely curved contour that conforms to or approximates the obtusely angled, polygon-like contour of the display surfaces of the multiple separate display units, for example, similar to an inner circumcircle that conforms to a polygon.
• the contouring of the touch panel can be such that the distance between the back of the touch panel and the surface of the display units is smallest in the area of the central sections of two adjacent display units, while the distance to the surfaces of the display units increases towards the transition area of the display units and/or also towards the edges of the adjacent display units facing away from each other.

• the touch panel located above it can have a flat or concave contour.
• the touch panel can also extend continuously across two display units, particularly in the form of flat screens, one of which, viewed from the operating station, is partially concealed behind another display unit.
• Such a staggered arrangement of the display units with the display surfaces offset into the depth of the device can be particularly advantageous when different viewing windows in various formats are to be generated on the device using standard-format screens, for example, one of the display units is intended to generate only a display area in the form of a narrow strip or an L-shaped display area, even though the display device itself has a display area in a standard format.
• an advantageous embodiment of the invention utilizes a flexible touch panel that is deformable in such a way that it can assume various curvature profiles. Regardless of whether the touch panel is to have a flat contour, a uniaxially curved contour, or a multiaxially curved contour in its installed state, the same touch panel or the same type of touch panel can be used, which is deformed into the desired curvature during installation, for example, by mounting the touch panel onto a correspondingly curved frame or support.
• Such deformable, preferably elastically flexible, touch panels can be formed, for example, by touch-sensitive films applied to flexible support substrates such as transparent polycarbonate sheets, for example, by means of double-sided adhesive tape.
• Such pressure-sensitive flexible films can be, for example, PET films, whereby an electrically conductive polymer layer can be applied to or incorporated on the pressure-sensitive film and/or between the film and the substrate, by means of which a finger touch of the touch panel can be detected.
• the touch panel's flexibility is designed such that, while it can be brought into the desired curvature through assembly steps, it is not subsequently deformed further by normal finger pressure, at least not permanently.
• the touch panel retains its curvature once established during assembly.
• the touch panel can possess a certain degree of tension and flexibility that holds it in the desired surface shape.
• the touch panel forms a uniformly contoured, continuous and large-area, transparent front panel which is superimposed on the display units and is fitted into the device housing and/or whose front area forms, in particular above a control section of the device housing.
• the touch panel is large and covers at least more than 30% of the front of the device facing the operator.
• This allows a standardized device housing to be used for various gaming machine models, whose internal components can be configured variably, for example, by installing differently contoured elements. and/or display units of different formats.
• a parallax compensation device can be provided as a further development of the invention.
• This device corrects the visual error caused by the aforementioned offset or differing curvature.
• the parallax compensation device provided for this purpose can, for example, include detection means for recording the head position of a device operator and assign each detected touch point position, where, for example, a finger touches the touch panel, to a different display area of the underlying display unit, or to an area offset from the touch point on the touch panel, depending on the detected head position.
• Parallax describes the physical or optical effect that occurs when the viewing axis is not exactly perpendicular to the surface of a transparent medium, an object seen in or behind the medium is not actually located exactly where it is perceived.
• the parallax correction device takes this phenomenon into account and corrects the visual error depending on the detected head or eye position of the device operator and certain geometric installation parameters, which may be stored in memory.
