Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to gaming devices having a pattern display associated with game play on the gaming device, and methods of operating the gaming device to generate, modify, and interact with a pattern on the pattern display. In one instance, a method of operating a gaming device includes determining a pattern-modifying game outcome in response to a received player input, modifying a displayed pattern, and awarding a prize when the modified pattern satisfies a predetermined prize threshold.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to gaming devices and gaming systems having an outcome based display of summarized past gaming results and a method of processing and displaying the past gaming results. In one example, a gaming device may record game information corresponding to the gaming event on the device and a memory and store this recorded information in a memory. The recorded information may be processed by the gaming device or another device connected to the gaming device to generate a summarized display of the recorded information to depict to a current gaming player or prospective gaming player.
