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.

Abstract: A gaming system comprises a processor and memory storing a) multiple feature game trigger probability states including a lowest feature game trigger probability state and a highest feature game trigger probability state; b) a current feature game trigger probability state of the multiple feature game trigger states; and c) instructions. When the instructions are executed, they cause the processor to receive a player selection in respect of play of a game with a base game from which a feature game can be triggered, generate a base game outcome for display, evaluate the base game to determine whether to make an award in respect of the base game, and control a probability of the feature game being initiated (e.g., select the current feature game trigger probability state if the player selection has a first characteristic, or the highest feature game probability state if the player selection has a second characteristic).

Abstract: A gaming method and system, the method comprising providing one or more reels in a spinning reel game, the reels being displayed as three dimensional and displayed as provided with game symbols along and around the reels, displaying spinning of the reels and thereby sequentially displaying at least some of the game symbols displayed as provided along the reels, displaying rotating of the reels and thereby sequentially displaying at least some of the game symbols displayed as provided around the reels, stopping the spinning and the rotating of each of the reels at a respective stop position, and determining a game outcome based on at least some of the game symbols displayed when each of the reels is in its respective stop position.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine includes a display device, and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory. When executed, the instructions cause the processor to select a first plurality of symbols for a first level of play of a feature game, where each of the first plurality of symbols are selected from a plurality of feature symbols including at least one number symbol and at least one designated symbol. The instructions also cause the processor to control the display device to display the first plurality of symbols in a first row of symbol positions, and in response to determining that the first plurality of symbols include at least two number symbols, concatenate the at least two number symbols to determine a first prize value equal to the concatenated value of the at least two number symbols.

Abstract: An electronic gaming system comprises a first video display, a second video display, and a game controller to select a plurality of symbols from a symbol set for display at respective ones of a plurality of symbol display positions on the first video display. Upon a trigger condition being met, the game controller awards one or more wild symbols to be incorporated into the symbol display independently of selection of the symbols from the symbol set, controls the second video display to display a first portion of a wild symbol awarding animation, and controls the first video display to display a second portion of the wild symbol awarding animation during which one or more animated objects shown in the first portion of the wild symbol awarding animation move to the first video display.

Abstract: A gaming system that uses multiple ghost reels to trigger a jackpot feature. During the jackpot feature, a gaming system performs a first spin of a jackpot prize reel that includes multiple jackpot prize symbols. After the first spin, each of the displayed jackpot prize symbol replaces a jackpot symbol displayed on the same line of an adjacent first ghost reel. Afterwards, the gaming system performs a second spin of the jackpot prize reel that generates a second set of displayed jackpot prize symbols. The gaming system then replaces the jackpot symbols of an adjacent second ghost reel according to the displayed jackpot prize symbols located on the same line. If the jackpot prize symbols populated on the ghost reels and the jackpot prize reel produces a same line match, the gaming system awards a jackpot prize corresponding to the matched jackpot prize symbol.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine includes a display device, a processor, and a memory storing instructions which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the display device to display an initial array of symbol positions, where the initial array of symbol positions include a plurality of rows of symbol positions. The instructions also cause the processor to populate each symbol position with a first plurality of symbols, and evaluate the first plurality of symbols to determine whether to provide a first game award. The instructions also cause the processor to add a new row of symbol positions to the initial array of symbol positions, and populate each symbol position of the new row of symbol positions with a second plurality of symbols.

Abstract: A gaming method and system, the method comprising providing one or more reels in a spinning reel game, the reels being displayed as three dimensional and displayed as provided with game symbols along and around the reels, displaying spinning of the reels and thereby sequentially displaying at least some of the game symbols displayed as provided along the reels, displaying rotating of the reels and thereby sequentially displaying at least some of the game symbols displayed as provided around the reels, stopping the spinning and the rotating of each of the reels at a respective stop position, and determining a game outcome based on at least some of the game symbols displayed when each of the reels is in its respective stop position.
