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: 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: 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: 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: Method and systems of gaming are provided herein. One method includes storing in a memory of the gaming system a plurality of reel strips sets, each reel strips set including a characteristic that is different from the other reel strips sets. The method may further include initiating a play of the game. The method may include selecting, at random, via the game controller, a reel strips set from the plurality of reel strips sets. The method also includes displaying, via the game controller, symbols in symbol display positions on the display of the gaming system. The method further includes evaluating, via the game controller, the selected symbols. The method further includes updating, via the game controller, a meter stored in the memory in accordance with the evaluation.

Abstract: A gaming system comprises a display, a player interface, and a game controller having a processor, and a memory storing symbol data, a pay table, and instructions, when executed, cause the processor to receive a selection specifying paylines for evaluation, each payline specifying one symbol position on one column, split a first symbol position into sub-positions, randomly select symbols for display at the symbol positions and sub-positions, display the symbols selected, and evaluate the symbols displayed at the sub-positions on each payline that includes the sub-positions, whether the symbols displayed at the sub-positions contribute to a winning combination.

Abstract: A gaming system is disclosed that comprises a game controller that includes at least one processor and at least one memory device that are operably connected. The memory device(s) store computer-readable instructions for controlling the at least one processor to cause prize indicia to be displayed, each prize indicium corresponding to a spot prize awardable to a player, and cause a symbol array to be selected and displayed such that the symbol array and the prize indicia move relative to each other. The instructions also control the processor to select at least one spot prize corresponding to at least one prize indicium, determine at least one prize symbol to be added to the symbol array, corresponding to the respective selected at least one spot prize, and allocate a Wild function to the at least one added prize symbol.

Abstract: A gaming system is disclosed which comprises a plurality of reels, each reel comprising a plurality of symbols from a set of symbols, a symbol selector arranged to select a plurality of symbols from each reel for display, a reel selector arranged to select at least one reel, a function allocator arranged to allocate a function to at least one selected reel such that each displayed symbol on said at least one selected reel acquires the function, and a game outcome generator arranged to determine a game outcome based on the displayed symbols and on the function allocated to said at least one selected reel. A corresponding method of gaming is also disclosed.
