  • Publication number: 20240378944
    Abstract: An electronic gaming system including a memory and a processor is described. The processor is configured to cause a number of multiplier symbols to be accumulated during a first electronic game and for each of the number of multiplier symbols, provide a play of a second electronic game wherein the processor is further configured to cause display of a multiplier symbol in a first display area, cause display of a subset of the number of multiplier symbols in a second display area, cause display of an outcome associated with an output amount on a plurality of reels in a third display area, apply a multiplier value associated with the multiplier symbol to the output amount, and cause display of a next multiplier symbol of the subset of the number of multiplier symbols in the second display area.

  • Publication number: 20240321043
    Abstract: An electronic gaming device comprises a credit input device; a display; an input device operable to receive player input and a processor. The display displays a plurality of symbols selected for display, and one or both of a first trigger symbol and a second trigger symbol as part of the plurality of symbols selected for display. After displaying one or both of the first trigger symbol and the second trigger symbol, the processor animates collecting one or both of the first trigger symbol and the second trigger symbol. After displaying both of the first trigger symbol and the second trigger symbol are collected, the processor initiates a first composite feature game incorporating at least one characteristic of each of a first feature game and a second feature game.

  • Patent number: 11961356
    Abstract: A gaming device having a processor that selects symbols from a first set of reel strips for a plurality of columns of symbol positions, and from a second set of reel strips for a plurality of columns of symbol positions, and controls a display to display the symbols selected including displaying, at each symbol position for which a defined symbol is selected, the defined symbol with the symbol selected at a respective symbol position. Upon the symbols selected including a qualifier symbol, the processor randomly selects one of at least two different symbol replacements, and determines, using the symbol replacements, a replacement symbol for the defined symbol selected. The processor updates the plurality of symbols to incorporate the replacement symbol, and evaluates the updated plurality of symbols for winning symbol combinations.

  • Publication number: 20240087424
    Abstract: A gaming device for dynamically configuring a composite feature game based on a first feature game and a second feature game. When the composite feature game is triggered, a game controller determines respective current states of a first feature game and a second feature game. The current state of the first feature game comprises a first unenhanced state that has a first unenhanced play characteristic and a first enhanced state that has a first enhanced play characteristic. The current state of the second feature game comprises a second unenhanced state that has a second unenhanced play characteristic and a second enhanced state that has a second unenhanced play characteristic. The game controller dynamically incorporates one of the first enhanced play characteristic and one of the second unenhanced play characteristic and the second unenhanced play characteristic into a composite play characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20240046737
    Abstract: Determining an outcome includes displaying at least one award wheel, the award wheel comprising a plurality of layers, each layer displaying a respective one of a plurality of different sets of wheel awards, selecting, using a random number generator, symbols from the reel strips for display at a plurality of symbol positions, and controlling the display to display the selected symbols at the symbol positions. Upon the selected symbols including at least a threshold number of a defined symbol, a set of wheel awards to be used from the plurality of different sets of wheel awards displayed on the layers of the award wheel are determined based on the number of the at least a threshold number of defined symbols, and a wheel award is selected from the determined set of wheel awards. The outcome is based on the selected wheel award and any winning outcomes.

  • Publication number: 20230334950
    Abstract: An electronic gaming system comprising a display, and a game controller that includes a processor and a memory device storing instructions to select and display a plurality of symbols in a respective plurality of display positions in a display area for each implemented game. The processor also adds a wild marker to each display position that includes a special symbol, each wild marker remaining persistent for subsequent games until a random trigger condition occurs. When a random trigger condition occurs, the processor adds a wild symbol to each display position that includes a wild marker, evaluates a game outcome based on the selected and displayed symbols inclusive of all added wild symbols, and awards a win amount if the outcome corresponds to a winning outcome.

  • Publication number: 20230282070
    Abstract: An electronic gaming device comprising a display that displays a plurality of symbols in a plurality of symbol positions, a game controller that determines if the plurality of symbols include a trigger symbol, in response to determining that the plurality of symbols include the trigger symbol, controls the display to display the trigger symbol being transformed into a prize component symbol, incrementally animates a filling of a prize component of a first prize with the prize component symbol, and awards the first prize when a plurality of first prize components have been completely filled.
