  • Publication number: 20240105015
    Abstract: An electronic gaming device includes a display device and a game controller in communication with the display device. The game controller includes a processor and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the game controller to: cause display of a base game including a plurality of reels; control the plurality of reels to display a combination of symbols corresponding to a primary game outcome; determine that the primary game outcome satisfies a bonus game condition and an enhancement condition to trigger a bonus game having at least one enhanced characteristic; identify outcomes for one or more free spins of the bonus game having the at least one enhanced characteristic; randomly select an outcome for each free spin from the identified outcomes; and initiate the bonus reel game that includes display of the randomly selected outcome for each of the one or more free spins.

  • Publication number: 20240087421
    Abstract: An electronic gaming system includes a display device and a game controller in communication with the display device. The game controller includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the game controller to: determine that a bonus game including display of pick icons is triggered based on a game outcome; activate a metamorphic for the bonus game based on the game outcome, the activated metamorphic being associated with a pick feature enhancement for the bonus game; cause display of a visual indication of the activated metamorphic; initiate a play of the bonus game and apply the pick feature enhancement associated with the activated metamorphic thereto; receive a selection of one of the pick icons during the play of the bonus game; and cause display of an award associated with the selected pick icon and determined based on the applied pick feature enhancement.

  • Publication number: 20230080994
    Abstract: A free spin count-up bonus game and a subsequent banked free spin count-down secondary bonus game are described herein. The free spin count-up game may be triggered during play of a base game. A numerical indicium may be provided. During the free spin count-up bonus game, the indicium may count up from an initial value to a final value. When the indicium reaches a maximum or final value, the value may be regarded as indicating a number of “banked” free spins. The number of banked free spins may be compared to one or more threshold values. If the number of banked dree spins is greater than or equal to one or more threshold values and there is a successful outcome on a random determination, a secondary bonus game may be initiated, during which the indicium is decremented from the final value back down toward the initial value.

  • Publication number: 20230081422
    Abstract: An electronic gaming device includes a display device and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory device. When executed, the instructions cause the processor to at least initiate a primary bonus game in response to a free play trigger condition being satisfied during a base game and determine a number of free spins of a plurality of reels for use during the primary bonus game. The instructions further cause the processor to control the display device to simulate spinning and stopping the plurality of reels in conjunction with sequentially counting up from an initial numerical indicium to a final numerical indicium in association with spinning the plurality of reels according to the determined number of free spins and initiate a secondary bonus game that includes a free spin count-down from the final numerical indicium to the initial numerical indicium.

  • Patent number: 9850652
    Abstract: A septic line cleaning assistance device that positions into alignment with a lower opening in a T-pipe to plug the lower opening in the T-pipe. The blocked lower opening enables a suction apparatus to suck waste from a pipe connected to a waste opening in the T-pipe through an upper opening in the T-pipe. A rod is configured to be inserted along the T-pipe and positioned into place along the T-pipe. The rod comprises a plug end holding the plug that is configured to frictionally engage the lower opening in the T-pipe to effectively seal the lower opening. A handle end having a grip enables the positioning of the plug over the lower opening, and pulling the plug into a mating position with the lower opening. An adjustable peripheral fastener is slidably positioned over the upper end of the T pipe to hold the device and plug in place.
