Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage media for reel-based events with seed-based feature are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: determine occurrence of a particular outcome for a reel-based event; determine a specific seed from among a set of seeds corresponding to the particular outcome and a quantity of times to use a deterministic process based on the particular outcome and the specific seed; initialize the deterministic process with the specific seed to determine an index value corresponding to a first predetermined set of symbols and a first respective next seed for iteratively using the deterministic process; after initializing the deterministic process, iteratively use the deterministic process a number of times equal to the quantity of times minus one; and output, within a symbol display portion of a display, the first predetermined set of symbols followed by each respective predetermined set of symbols according to the ordered set of index values.

Abstract: A gaming machine with a hot mode is disclosed. A processor of the gaming machine can determine whether the gaming machine is in a hot mode state. After determining that the gaming machine is in the hot mode state, the gaming machine can determine a number of hot mode spins and perform each hot mode spin of the number of hot mode spins. Performing a hot mode spin can include receiving a wager, determining an outcome of a random event, generating a display related to the outcome of the random event, and determining a payout for the wager based on the outcome of the random event and a hot-mode return rate. The hot-mode return rate can be selected so that a sum of payouts during the number of hot mode spins is expected to exceed a sum of wagers made during the number of hot mode spins.
