  • Wagering game having multiple award components
    Patent number: 8517821
    Abstract: A multiple bonus modifier game includes a base game and two or more base award modifiers. The multiple bonus modifier game comprises a single spin game that includes a plurality of spinning reels in a base game, a first base award modifier that includes at least one spinning reel, and a second base award modifier that includes at least one additional spinning reel. The outcome of the spinning reels in the base game defines a base game award. The outcome of the spinning reel in the first base award modifier defines a first modifier award, which potentially adjusts the base game award. The outcome of the additional spinning reel in the second base award modifier defines a second modifier award, which potentially adjusts the base game award.

  • WAGERING GAME HAVING MULTIPLE AWARD COMPONENTS
    Publication number: 20080214281
    Abstract: A multiple bonus modifier game 10 includes a base game and two or more base award modifiers operating independently or simultaneously of each other (i.e., the two or more base award modifiers operate independently of each other or in conjunction with each other to modify a base game award). The multiple bonus modifier game 10 comprises a base game 20 that includes a plurality of spinning reels, a first base award modifier 30 that includes at least one spinning reel, and a second base award modifier 40 that includes at least one additional spinning reel. The outcome of the spinning reels in the base game 20 defines a base game award 25. The outcome of the spinning reel in the first base award modifier 30 defines a first modifier award 35, which adjusts the base game award. The outcome of the additional spinning reel in the second base award modifier 40 defines a second modifier award 45, which potentially adjusts the combined base game award 25 and first modifier award 35, if both awards are given.
