Patent number: 11922768Abstract: Many gaming devices use a movable box, indicator, or other area-based selector (collectively, a “selector”) to determine whether a particular instance of a game generates a payout to a player (e.g., the player “wins”). Thus, the selector may be used to control either or both of a return to player (“RTP”) or volatility of the electronic gaming device. The selector may change its position between games or during a game, such as while values for one or more positions on a playing field are undetermined. The selector may move (e.g., change its position) in a random or semi-random fashion. The selector may change its size between games or during a game, such that it encompasses more or fewer positions on the playing field than during the previous game. The selector may be used to control either or both of a gaming device's RTP or volatility, and the selector's position, size, or the like may vary between games to ensure that the gaming device's RTP and/or volatility remain within acceptable ranges.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Aristocrat Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Hawkins, Stephanie Klepzig, Yanis Tsombanidis
