  • Patent number: 8287363
    Abstract: In contrast to slot-type gaming machines with their preset paylines designating predetermined array positions, the paylines of this novel wagering game are unknown until the indicia in the array have been selected. The randomly selected indicia determine the paylines, if any, in the array of indicia. Conditions may be imposed that limit the size and geometry of the paylines in this wagering game. Each indicium in the array, in one embodiment, may have an indicator for determining a subset of indicia in the array. In one embodiment, a winning game outcome occurs when the subset of indicia: 1) forms a payline, and 2) the combination of indicia designated by the payline meet predetermined requirements.
