  • Patent number: 11978315
    Abstract: An electronic gaming system includes a processor configured to execute instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to at least receive a wager amount from an electronic gaming machine (EGM), where the wager amount is associated with a player wager in a base bingo game played by a player of the EGM. The instructions also cause the processor to receive a bingo card parameter from the EGM, where the received bingo card parameter is associated with a bingo card provided to the player in the base bingo game, determine, based upon the wager amount, an award eligibility probability, and determine, based at least in part upon the award eligibility probability, whether the player is eligible to receive an award, and in response, compare the received bingo card parameter to a plurality of bingo card parameters, the plurality of bingo card parameters defining a paytable. Moreover, the instructions may cause the processor to determine, based upon the comparison, whether to provide the award to the player.

  • Publication number: 20230394928
    Abstract: A gaming machine includes a processor configured to execute instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to at least control a display device to display a first subgame and a second subgame during a multi-game bingo game, evaluate a first bingo card to determine a first outcome for the first subgame, and evaluate a second bingo card to determine a second outcome for the second subgame. The instructions also cause the processor to control the display device to display the first outcome for the first subgame and the second outcome for the second subgame.
