Abstract: Disclosed are methods for augmenting progressive meter information presented in association with a gaming device. The methods include controlling a camera on a mobile device using an augmented reality gaming assistance component and enabling a user to employ the camera to capture an image of a game screen display, the image including one or more progressive meters associated with a respective progressive award. The captured image is sent via a network to a server that, for each of one or more progressive meters, determines a location of the progressive meters within the captured image, determines a value for each associated progressive award based on the captured image at each respective location, and determines a progressive rating for the associated progressive award based on the value. Content based on the one or more progressive ratings is received at the mobile device and displayed to the user via a display.

Abstract: There is provided a gaming system and methods that utilize a presentation assembly configured to present a series of spins of a plurality of reels arranged in an array, the array including a subset of the array in which weights are assigned to the symbols within the subset. Determination of winning combinations of the symbols in the array is based, in part, on the weights assigned to the symbols. If any wins occur as the result of a spin, the wins are paid, the winning combinations are removed, and the array shifts to fill in the removed symbols. The subset of the array is randomly repositioned and resized, and weights are added to one or more symbols in the new subset of the array. Any newly resulting wins are paid, and the process repeats until no wins occur, at which point the spin ends.
