Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to display, by a Graphical User Interface (GUI) of a gaming device, a primary wagering game comprising a plurality of game symbol positions. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to determine a number of game symbol positions of the plurality of game symbol positions. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to, in response to a bonus pot increment trigger event, select a bonus pot increment number from a range of one to the number of game symbol positions. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to add a number of credits corresponding to the bonus pot increment number to a bonus pot for a bonus game at the gaming device.
Abstract: A Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the gaming device displays a plurality of game symbol positions comprising a plurality of game symbols. A primary wagering game result is determined based on a subset of game symbols of the plurality of game symbols forming a first predetermined graphical pattern. In response to the subset of game symbols forming the first predetermined graphical pattern, a primary game award is awarded to the player. A bonus game result is independently determined based on the plurality of game symbol positions forming a second predetermined graphical pattern. In response to the plurality of game symbol positions forming the second predetermined graphical pattern, a bonus game award is awarded to the player.
Abstract: Systems and methods that employ a cloud-based central determination server to provide predetermined game outcomes displayed at a game presentation device operating with a remote game server and a balance management server in association with funds transacted at a point-of-sale terminal.
Abstract: A system can be capable of receiving electronic ticket issuance information from a first gaming device, where the electronic ticket issuance information includes an identifier of the first gaming device that issued an electronic ticket, a time that the electronic ticket was issued, and an electronic ticket value associated with an issued state of the electronic ticket. The system may further be capable of tracking a status of the electronic ticket to determine that the electronic ticket has transitioned from the issued state to a redeemable state, determining that the electronic ticket has been presented for redemption and, in response thereto, causing the electronic ticket value to change to a second electronic ticket value associated with a redeemed state of the electronic ticket.
Abstract: Gaming systems and methods that provide a play of a keno game having one or more guaranteed matching drawn spots such as where the play of the keno game is part of a play of a tournament, and thereby increases the expected amount won in the play of the keno game for the play of the tournament.
Abstract: Gaming systems and methods configured to independently generate, display, and provide different features and enhanced features in association with activators during plays of a game. After the gaming system determines to provide the feature associated with a pot based on an occurrence of an activator associated with that pot, the gaming system enters an enhanced feature mode wherein if the gaming system also determines to activate the pot based on another occurrence of the activator associated with that pot during the enhanced feature mode, the gaming system provides an enhanced feature associated with the activated pot.
