  • Publication number: 20260065750
    Abstract: Systems and method for electronic gaming, including (i) performing a first lookup in a lookup table to determine a plurality of symbols for a designated play, including at least one reveal symbol, (ii) performing a second lookup to determine a dynamically selected common symbol for association with the at least one reveal symbol, (iii) causing display of the at least one reveal symbol for the designated play followed by display of the common symbol at a same position as the at least one reveal symbol, the display of the at least one reveal symbol being ceased upon the display of the dynamically selected symbol; and (iv) depending on a symbol type of the at least one reveal symbol, causing display of a subsequent at least one reveal symbol at a position on a reel set of a subsequent play that is the same as for the designated play.

  • Publication number: 20260030948
    Abstract: An electronic system for electronic gaming is provided. The electronic system may include at least one memory device storing a plurality of reels, wherein at least one of the plurality of reels includes at least one dynamic reel symbol and a data structure that causes the at least one dynamic reel symbol to be modified based upon progressive data indicating one or more real-time progressive values. The electronic system may be configured to generate a display outcome using the plurality of reels, the display outcome including the at least one dynamic reel symbol, in response to the display outcome including the at least one dynamic reel symbol, retrieve progressive data from at least one progressive controller, wherein the at least one dynamic reel symbol is modified to include a first real-time progressive value indicated by the retrieved progressive data, and control a display device to display the generated display outcome.

  • Patent number: 12361790
    Abstract: A multi-game package environment for a gaming device includes at least a first and second game. The first game is eligible to trigger a payout of one or more first progressive feature prizes associated with the first game and ineligible to trigger a payout of one or more second progressive feature prizes associated with the second game. A first set of random-based game outcomes are generated for a round of play of the first game to randomly determine a bulk progressive feature prize update operation across at least one progressive feature prize of each of the games in the multi-game package. A second set of random-based game outcomes is generated to randomly determine whether one of the one or more first progressive feature prizes in the first game is triggered. Concurrently, an amount by which to update a visual meter associated with each updated progressive feature prize may be determined.

  • Publication number: 20250078625
    Abstract: An electronic gaming machine (EGM) includes a processor that achieves a designated RTP by providing a game feature that randomly awards one or more metamorphic feature types within a single spin. Additionally, the game feature that randomly awards one or more metamorphic feature types may be based on a triggering mechanism. The EGM utilizes different weight tables, reel strips, or a combination thereof depending on how the game triggers the game feature. For example, the game may trigger the game feature based on a base game outcome (e.g., 3SCAT, 4SCAT, and/or 5SCAT), a random feature trigger, the buying of an instant feature, or a combination thereof. Based on the triggering mechanism used, the game may have different probabilities in triggering one or more of the metamorphic feature types for a single spin.

  • Publication number: 20250078624
    Abstract: An electronic gaming machine (EGM) includes a processor that provides opportunities to improve a winning combination in a base game window by copying the winning combination into one or more bonus game windows. The EGM achieves a designated game's Return to Player (RTP) while providing the opportunities. When a round of a game provided by the EGM generates an outcome in a base game window with a winning combination that includes one special symbol, the winning combination is copied to one or more bonus game windows. The bonus game windows are then played out to randomly determine whether to modify or improve the copied winning combination of the base game.

  • Publication number: 20240412586
    Abstract: A system is provided. The system may include a display device and a processor configured to present an array of display positions including columns and rows of display positions, the array including a first row having a reel of symbols associated with each column of the first row for displaying symbols on the reels within the first row, the array including a second row for displaying a set of initial symbols, each row of the array above the first row including a progressively increasing multiplier value, identify an RNG output for each of the reels, perform a lookup within a table associated with a column using the RNG output for the column, determine that a step-up symbol should be displayed in the first column based on the first lookup, and move the initial symbol displayed in the first column up at least one row based on the determination.

  • Publication number: 20240339007
    Abstract: An electronic gaming device is described. The device is configured to receive an input requesting play of a feature game, initiate the feature game wherein the feature game includes a plurality of reels, and randomly determine, based upon a first output from a random number generator (RNG), at least one instant feature. The device is also configured to determine a table of symbols associated with the at least one instant feature and populate at least one reel position of at least one reel with at least one symbol from the table of symbols wherein the at least one symbol is associated with the at least one instant feature. The device is further configured to, based upon a second output from the RNG, determine an outcome for the feature game and control display of the feature game including presentation of the at least one instant feature.

  • Publication number: 20240290174
    Abstract: A gaming device include a processor, and a memory storing (a) reel strip data defining a set of reel strips and (b) instructions. The reel strips may be used to select symbols to populate positions of a playing field shown on a display. When two or more of the same special symbols occupy adjacent positions of the playing field, they may merge into a single position occupied by one of the special symbols in question. If three or more special symbols are adjacent, all merge into a single position and a higher-value special symbol. The higher-value special symbol thus replaces one of the adjacent special symbols while the rest are removed or disappear.
