An electronic gaming system with a visual display system has a player input station for at least entering wagers on an underlying wagering event. The system includes a processor providing signal content to the visual display system. The player input station further has an electronic-field communication input device that is simultaneously responsive to a player's hand movements in three dimensions and with respect to velocity. A communication link exists from the electronic-field communication input device to the processor and then to the visual display system to provide image signals transmitted from the processor to the visual display system. The image signals are varied in response to sensed hand movements in at least one of the three dimensions and velocity, wherein the visual display system displays an image varied in response to sensed hand movements. The caused variations have no effect on a random outcome in the underlying wagering event.
