  • Publication number: 20240013608
    Abstract: A game system having image compositing display. At least one player of at least one player client bets on a plurality of betting zones within a betting period of time to generate a piece of betting data, respectively; an image capture unit captures a real scene of a physical game result generation unit to obtain an instant image; and then an image identification unit identifies and analyzes the position of the instant image to generate a piece of position information. Therefore, an image compositing processing unit generates a virtuality and reality composite image according to the at least one piece of betting data, the instant image, and the position information, such that a display screen of the at least one player client displays the virtuality and reality composite image, respectively. In this way, the sense of presence during the play at the at least one player client can be increased, and the credibility of a game can be increased.

  • Publication number: 20230316864
    Abstract: A gaming system allowing accumulation of multipliers for a high reward score. In a reel spinning game, if multiple symbols of a first group satisfy a trigger event, a reward game is started. The reward game has a basic score, an accumulating multiplier having an initial numerical value, and one or more free rounds conducted sequentially. In each of the free rounds, a game result generation unit generates multiple symbols of a second group and displays the symbols at multiple display locations of a game screen. If any one of the symbols of the second group is determined as a special pattern, a control unit causes the display location displaying the special pattern to maintain display of the special pattern during the reward game. If the special pattern has a percentage number symbol, the numerical value of the percentage number symbol is added to increase the numerical value of the accumulating multiplier.

  • Publication number: 20230249075
    Abstract: A game processing element screens, according to a determination condition of a particular object, at least one shot object satisfying the determination condition on an immediate game screen, and generates by calculation an immediate total magnification, the odds multiple of the particular object comprising at least the immediate total magnification; when the particular object is hit by an attack bullet, the game processing element determines, according to a second probability, whether the particular object is shot down, the product of the second probability and the odds multiple of the hit particular object being equal to the return to player (RTP). On this basis, the second probability is in negative correlation with the odds multiple of the particular object.

  • Publication number: 20230122005
    Abstract: When a control unit in a game system of the present invention stops rollers of a next free game from rolling during performing a plurality of consecutive free games, a special symbol appearing in a free game currently performed overlaps a game symbol appearing in the free game performed next. Accordingly, players can not only feel the fun of accumulating the special symbols and look forward to collecting more of the special symbols, but also make a probability of the special symbols appearing in a game screen of each of the free games to be kept constant, thereby simplifying the difficulty in calculating a return to player (RTP).
