Abstract: A gaming system includes an input device, an electronic display device, and game-logic circuitry. In response to the input device detecting a physical item associated with monetary value that establishes a credit balance, the game-logic circuitry initiates a wagering game responsive to an input indicative of a wager drawn on the credit balance. The wagering game includes display of a gamescape that includes an award zone and a plurality of symbols moving around the gamescape on the display device. An award sequence is triggered when a predetermined threshold of the plurality of symbols are positioned completely inside the award zone. When the award sequence is triggered, the symbols inside the award zone stop moving and a corresponding award value is determined based on the symbols inside the award zone.

Abstract: A gaming system includes a first-in-first-out (FIFO) queue data structure that functions to construct distinctive combinations of game enhancements for application to successive game instances.

Abstract: A gaming terminal includes a first display screen operative to display a wagering game that includes a lower section. A second display screen is operative to display images of input buttons and includes a touchscreen operative to receive inputs at the input buttons to play the wagering game. The second display screen is smaller than the first display screen. The second display screen is positioned forwardly relative to the lower section of the first display screen such that the second display screen is closer than the first display screen to a player position in front of the gaming terminal. The second display screen is inclined relative to horizontal such that an imaginary plane containing the second display screen intersects the lower section of the first display screen thereby creating an infinity pool effect when viewing the first display screen relative to the second display screen.
