Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for providing sliding symbol operations in grid-base games. The sliding symbol operations allow a player of the gaming device to move, by sliding or dragging, a particular symbol from one cell to another in an array of cells between plays of the grid-based game. Movement of the particular symbol from one cell to another allows a player to control their chances of winning and alter the proposed payouts for winning sequences of symbols for at least one subsequent play of the grid-based game.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to computational devices and, in particular, toward a computational device, system, and method of operating a computational device. The method may include determining that a mirror symbol has landed within a predetermined symbol area and then implementing a bonus spin and mirror operation in response thereto.

Abstract: A method comprises initiating a gaming session for a grid-based game, tracking a number of consecutive losing plays of the grid-based game during the gaming session, and providing a player of the grid-based game with an option to reuse a wild symbol that appears in one play of the number of consecutive losing plays in a next play when the number of consecutive losing plays exceeds a threshold. The method further comprises receiving first input from the player to reuse the wild symbol in the next play, generating, in response to the first input, a sequence of symbols comprising the wild symbol, and causing a display to display the sequence of symbols populated in the array of cells.

Abstract: A gaming system and method that provides a changing pattern matching award feature in a gaming environment, which includes a plurality of different patterns that are independently and randomly selectable and displayable by the gaming system during a series of plays of one or more games via one or more electronic gaming machines or other devices of the gaming system or configured to operate with the gaming system.

Abstract: Gaming systems and methods that replicate a symbol driven event obtained at one gaming device at one or more other gaming devices.

Abstract: An information handling system may include a backplane configured to couple at a first side thereof to a plurality of physical storage resources, an air mover configured to provide cooling to the information handling system, and a shelf coupled to the backplane at a second, opposite side thereof, wherein the shelf is disposed between the first side of the backplane and the air mover. The shelf may include an acoustically absorbent material.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine (EGM) is provided. The EGM includes a processor circuit and a memory device which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to perform operations. Operations include causing a display device to display multiple game symbols arranged in a symbol selection zone of the display, causing the display device to display multiple value symbols that are assignable to a game symbol based on an input from a user that moves one of the value symbols to be on a selected game symbol. Operations include causing the display device to display multiple symbol display positions with less than all of the game symbols and, responsive to one of the symbol display positions including the selected game symbol, cause the display device to display an award value to be credited to the user.
