Abstract: A gaming system comprising a display, a memory, a game controller in data communication with the display and arranged to control the display to display a symbol evaluation area and a symbol storage area, the game controller further arranged to select symbols from a set of symbols for display in the symbol evaluation area on the display and to evaluate the symbols displayed in the symbol evaluation area to determine whether to make an award, and a game play mechanism operable by the player to select a symbol from the symbol evaluation area and drag the selected symbol to the storage area, whereafter the game controller stores the symbol in the memory until the symbol is used in subsequent game play.

Abstract: A gaming system is disclosed that comprises a plurality of spinnable reels, each reel comprising a plurality of selectable symbols corresponding to respective reel stopping positions, and a symbol selector arranged to select a stopping position for each reel and thereby select at least one symbol from each reel. A reel controller is arranged to control spinning and stopping of the reels according to the selected reel stopping positions, and a player input device is arranged to facilitate reception of a reel stopping instruction from a player. The reel controller is arranged to stop a rightmost spinning reel in response to reception of the reel stopping instruction.

Abstract: A system and method for error diffusion screening with parallel processing, in which the calculation of an error diffused output image is divided into two distinct processes. A first process is used to calculate the tone value for an output pixel based only on a corresponding input pixel value. The second process is used to the manage distribution and application of the error terms to output values. The error arising from each pixel is apportioned among its neighbors entirely within the error array. As a result, the two processes run simultaneously, provided that the second process does not start to use the error term for any particular pixel until the first process has complete the calculation of the error term.
