The instructions cause the processor to cause display of an electronic game including a plurality of reels, a plurality of persistent win positions, and a timer, and cause the timer to incrementally transition between a first time and a second time. As spins of the plurality of reels occur, the instructions also cause the processor to identify any trigger symbols, for game outcomes that include at least one trigger symbol, cause a respective output amount associated with a respective at least one trigger symbol to be displayed, for game outcomes that do not include at least one trigger symbol, cause the plurality of persistent win positions to be cleared, and when a predetermined number of positions of the plurality of persistent win positions include output amounts, cause the output amounts to be awarded.

Abstract: An integrated circuit communication architecture is provided and includes a clock lane, a clock divider, and a first de-skew circuit. The clock lane is configured to send a clock signal at a first rate from a first chip to a second chip. The clock divider is on the second chip and is configured to receive the clock signal sent via the clock lane and to create and send a first divided clock signal and a second divided clock signal from the received clock signal. The divided clock signals are sent at reduced rates compared to the first rate. The clock divider maintains current mode logic properties for the divided clock signals. The first de-skew circuit is configured to receive and process the divided clock signals to allow for sampling of data transmitted from the first chip to the second chip.

The processor evaluates the matrix of bingo positions to determine whether a predefined winning pattern is formed and, in response, determines an award value based at least in part on numerical values of prize symbols forming the predefined winning pattern in the matrix of bingo positions.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for providing multilevel autonomous tournaments for wagering game are provided. In some implementations, players may earn entry into such a tournament by meeting one or more criteria and then be associated with a tournament entry for that tournament. Each tournament entry may be associated with a set of tournament entries and, after a requisite number of tournament entries for a given tournament entry set has been associated with players, a selection of a tournament entry, and thus at least implicitly a player, may be made. The players selected in such a selection event may then be associated with a tournament entry in a next-highest tournament tier. Such selections may occur until a single player is selected from the highest-ranked tournament tier of the tournament.
