Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a gaming system, device, and method supportive of an enhanced electronic gaming machine auto play mode. A gaming system, device, and method are provided that identify data associated with a set of previous gameplay sessions, the data including a set of previous gameplay decisions associated with the set of previous gameplay sessions; generate a set of playstyle models based on the set of previous gameplay decisions; and enable a gameplay mode in which a playstyle model of the set of playstyle models may be utilized to provide automated player inputs to a gameplay session.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for unlocking hardware and associated functionality of gaming devices. Before a player reaches a predetermined progress level, enhanced user interface devices of the gaming device remain locked to the player. The functionality associated with the enhanced user interface devices also remains unavailable to the player while the enhanced user interface devices are locked. Once the player reaches the progress level, a hardware-unlock option is presented to the player allowing the player to unlock an enhanced user interface device and select a functionality associated with the unlocked enhanced user interface device. The availability of the hardware-unlock options and specific functionality to be activated can be limited based on in-game events and a progress level reached by the player.
