Abstract: A gaming system for playing a dice game of elimination, where plays are electronically scored on a virtual gameboard and user interface. Players begin by rolling several virtual dice at one time, and as the game advances to higher scoring levels, receive limited chances to throw two dice or a special die. Points on the gameboard are awarded to the player when the dice face value(s) as rolled equal one or more of the numbered open positions on the gameboard, eliminating those positions from further play. The game ends when no further play is possible. Rules are stored in non-volatile memory and are configured to be executed automatically by a processor of the gaming system. Automating game administration enhances fun, momentum in play, and encourages participation of a broader gaming community. The gaming system is manifested in on-line, mobile device, gaming machine, and other computing device embodiments.

Abstract: A gaming system for operating a game of chance, more particularly a gaming machine having a player interface with interactive display, a processor with memory, instructions in memory, and a graphics modelling engine operative cooperatively with a kinematics engine and random number engine, such that the gaming machine is adapted to display randomized motions for a plurality of virtual gamepieces, termed here “selectable objects”, each selectable object having a concealed “embedded element” that is revealed during gameplay. The instructions are configured to execute an initialization stage, a transitional stage, a transformational stage with spatial randomization, and a play stage in which a player selects a subset of the gamepieces from a virtual gameboard. The game is resolved by determining a game outcome based on the number of instant win lottery numbers and non-random supplemental indicia matched by a player, and awarding a prize to motivate further play.

Abstract: A gaming platform and system for operating a game of chance, more particularly a gaming machine having a player interface with interactive display, a processor with memory, instructions in memory, and a graphics modelling engine operative cooperatively with a kinematics engine and random number engine, such that the gaming machine is adapted to display randomized motions of a plurality of virtual gamepieces, wherein the final resting place, orientation and content of each gamepiece is indeterminate and unknowable until motion stops. The instructions, when executed by a processor, are configured to operate a game of chance. In preferred “conceal and reveal games”, a player selects gamepieces, termed here “selectable objects”, each selectable object having a concealed “embedded element” that is revealed during gameplay, and the game outcome is based on the number of random and non-random indicia matched by the player.
