Abstract: There is provided a gaming method and system that utilize a presentation assembly configured to present a series of spins of a plurality of reels arranged in an array, the plurality of reels including symbols. The method and system further include a winning streak indicator updated after each spin in the initial series. The winning streak indicator is reset after a losing spin and advanced after a winning spin. At the conclusion of a winning streak, if at least a threshold number of consecutive winning spins occurred during the winning streak, a spin series including a number of free spins based on the number of winning spins in the winning streak is awarded.

Abstract: There is provided a gaming system, gaming machine, and method that utilize an electronic display device configured to display a set of symbol-bearing reels. In a reel spin, the set of reels are spun and stopped to randomly place symbols in an array. In response to one or more triggering conditions, game-logic circuitry performs a replay or rewind operation. In one type of replay operation, a subset of the reels are held while the remaining reels are respun to potentially improve the outcome of that spin. In another type of replay operation, the game-logic circuitry conducts a series of initial spins and then conducts an additional spin for each initial spin that yielded a losing outcome.

Abstract: Described is a musical instrument having a carbon fiber body joined with a wooden core, including a method for forming such a musical instrument. Specifically, the musical instrument includes a body portion having carbon fiber wrapped around and adhered to a wooden core. The wooden core includes a bore therethrough to define a flow path through which air travels in the musical instrument through the body portion. Additionally, a plurality of tone holes are formed through the carbon fiber and wooden core and into the bore. Keywork can be applied to the tone holes to form a clarinet or other wood wind instrument as applicable to the particular design as implemented.

Abstract: A gaming system includes one or more input devices, audio output devices, visual display devices, and information processors. At least one visual display device visually depicts a plurality of visual presentations and at least one audio output device renders audio selectively mixed from corresponding audio components of the visual presentations. At least one processor receives and processes information from at least one input device to determine a region of focused attention by the player with respect to the visual display devices. Using the region of focused attention, a corresponding primary visual presentation is determined from the plurality of visual presentations. The corresponding audio components of the plurality of presentations are selectively mixed such that the audio component of the primary visual presentation is dominant on at least one audio output device. The plurality of visual presentations may also be rearranged or altered to visually highlight the primary visual presentation.
