  • Publication number: 20150379829
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a gaming device, a gaming system, and/or a method that may: determine one or more wagers relating to one or more game plays; determine a first reel from a plurality of first reels, a second reel from a plurality of second reels, and an Nth reel from a plurality of Nth reels for utilization during a first spin where a selected first reel includes a first stacking symbol area for the first spin where the first stacking symbol area is located in a first reel position range, the first stacking symbol area being a first length with a first starting position and a first ending position, the first stacking symbol area utilizes a first stacking symbol for each symbol position starting with the first starting position and ending in the first ending position on the first reel for the first spin.

  • Publication number: 20150379828
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a gaming device, a gaming system, and/or a method that may: determine a first stacking symbol area for a first spin where the first stacking symbol area is located in a first reel position range; determining a second stacking symbol area for a second spin where the second stacking symbol area is located in a second reel position range; initiate at least one of: 1) determining that there are no overlapping reel positions between the first stacking symbol area and 2) determining that there is at least one overlapping reel position between the first stacking symbol area and the second stacking symbol area the second stacking symbol area and modifying the second stacking symbol area based on the at least one overlapping reel position between the first stacking symbol area and the second stacking symbol area to eliminate the at least one overlapping reel position between the first stacking symbol area and the second stacking symbol area; and/or generating one or more first spin

  • Patent number: 8894485
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to systems and methods for validating the authenticity of one or more media associated with a gaming system. The systems and methods may utilize a public key in association with a ROM-based algorithm to validate such media. The systems and methods may: decrypt the encrypted game assets media signature; determine a verified game assets hash signature from the decrypted game assets media signature; determine a game assets verification range from the decrypted game assets media signature; calculate a game assets hash signature based on the game assets verification range; and/or determine if the game assets verified hash signature matches the game assets calculated hash signature.
