Abstract: A multi-game gaming machine comprises a touch screen display, and a controller responsive to a configuration command to enter a configuration mode in which the controller controls the touch screen display to display a configuration menu including a game package selection sub-menu. The gaming machine is operable in the configuration mode to select between a plurality of game packages that are different from one another, each game package comprising a plurality of games playable on the gaming machine when the respective game package is selected. The controller controls the touch screen display to display a game selection interface when the gaming machine is in a game selection mode, the game selection interface including game images corresponding to each game of the selected game package. The controller is responsive to a touch input in respect of a respective game image to change the touch screen display to reflect selection of the game associated with the respective game image.

Abstract: A gaming system includes a game controller to determine from a base game if an outcome meets a first eligibility, in response to the outcome meeting the first eligibility, increment a first counter, determine if the first counter meets a feature eligibility, in response to the first counter meeting the feature eligibility, increment a feature counter, determine jackpot features having jackpots, the jackpot features being associated with eligibility thresholds, and some of the jackpot features have different eligibility thresholds, provide on a display device one or more of the jackpot features having respective eligibility thresholds satisfied by the feature counter, receive, via a player interface, a selection of a first jackpot feature of the one or more of the plurality of jackpot features, and display the first jackpot feature selected.

Abstract: A described gaming system implements an arrangement wherein, as part of a first base game instance, a gaming device is caused to include, at a first symbol position of a symbol array to be implemented by a gaming device, a first Wild symbol at a first symbol position on a reel of a plurality of reels; and, as part of a second base game instance following the first game instance, a modification of the reel of the plurality of reels is performed to move the first Wild symbol into a second symbol position different than the first symbol position.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a gaming system is disclosed that comprises at least one display, a game controller that includes at least one processor and at least one memory device. The at least one memory device stores computer-readable instructions for controlling the at least one processor to cause a symbol array to be selected and displayed on the at least one display in a display area, the symbol array including a plurality of selected symbols from each reel of a plurality of reels at respective symbol locations of the display area. The processor also causes a character to always be displayed, and causes the character to interact with the symbol display area based on defined criteria.

Abstract: A gaming device is provided that includes a plurality of game windows, each game window having an identical array of symbol positions displayed therein. Symbols are selected for each column of symbol positions, and the columns are then each evaluated to determine if the selected symbols for a column meet a predetermined criterion, e.g., all symbols for the column being the same. If the selected symbols for a column meet the criterion, and the selected symbols of the corresponding column in the other display window do not, the corresponding column may be caused to change its selected symbols to match those in the column that has the selected symbols that meet the criterion. If all of the columns have selected symbols that meet the criterion after such evaluations and potential selected symbol changes are performed, then an award may be provided.

Abstract: Certain embodiments involve a system comprising at least one processor; and a memory storing instructions which when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to: cause a first symbol array to be selected and displayed on at least one display in a display area, the first symbol array including a plurality of selected symbols from each reel of a plurality of reels at respective symbol locations of the display area; add at least one first Wild symbol to the display; cause a second symbol array to be selected and displayed on the at least one display in the display area, the second symbol array including a plurality of selected symbols from each reel at the respective symbol locations of the display area; add at least one second Wild symbol to the display; and move the at least one first Wild symbol relative to the display area.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and techniques for providing for wager-associated parameter control graphical state management. In such systems and techniques, a portion of one or more displays of an electronic gaming machine that is used to display all or part of a virtual button deck may be transitioned between two graphical states—one in which wager-associated parameter controls are in default positions and enabled for selection by users, and the other in which such controls are minimized or hidden and their wager-associated parameter functionality is disabled or otherwise non-usable by users.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine includes a display device and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to generate a game-state-retention sign based upon a plurality of game variables representing a state of a wagering game, where the game-state-retention sign includes a first two-dimensional machine-recognisable image that encodes the plurality of game variables. When executed, the instructions also cause the processor to display the game-state-retention sign on the display device for image capture by a handheld player device, where the handheld player device is configured to display a game-continuation sign generated from the game-state-retention sign for resuming play of the wagering game.

Abstract: A gaming system for game state retention and game continuation includes a first electronic gaming machine configured to at least generate a game-state-retention sign, where the game-state-retention sign is machine-recognisable and at least partly containing a state of a wagering game, and display the game-state-retention sign for image capture by a player device. The gaming system also includes a second electronic gaming machine configured to receive, from the player device, a game-continuation sign, where the game-continuation sign is machine-recognisable and generated by the player device from the game-state-retention sign, and continue conducting the wagering game based on the captured game-continuation sign.
