  • Patent number: 11423747
    Abstract: A wager-based gaming system includes a communication interface, a memory, and a controller configured to provide a video-based wagering game including a primary game, accept a player input, facilitate play, and determine a primary game outcome. The primary game can involve virtual dice arranged in a matrix having multiple rows and multiple columns, such as a 5×5 matrix. A secondary game can involve virtual reels and can occur simultaneously with the primary game. The secondary game outcome can award player changes to the primary game outcome, such as allowing a selection of one or more of the virtual dice to be re-rolled. A bonus game play can involve a wheel spin, can be based on a winning outcome of the secondary game, and can occur after the secondary game.
