Publication number: 20230123885Abstract: A slot game integrates a wheel positioned between one or more preceding reels and one or more subsequent reels. The game controller may dynamically populate the wheel with symbols from the outcome of the one or more preceding reels. The controller determines a symbol outcome for the wheel and performs pay evaluation based on applying the symbol outcome as positioned between the one or more preceding reel outcomes and the one or more subsequent reel outcomes. The game controller may perform cross-symbol mapping to map the symbol outcome to a subsequent reel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Roberto Coppola, Rex Carlson

Publication number: 20220180702Abstract: In one aspect, an electronic gaming machine is described. The electronic gaming machine includes at least one display device, a player input interface, a credit input mechanism, and a game controller configured to execute instructions. When executed by the game controller, the instructions cause the game controller to select a set of historical events from a plurality of sets of historical events for use in a wagering game, select a plurality of arrangements of historical event data, and determine a plurality of sub-wagers from a received credit wager. The instructions further cause the game controller to assign each sub-wager of the plurality of sub-wagers to a different arrangement of the historical event data and determine an outcome of the wagering game by applying the historical event data for the set of historical events to each of the different arrangements of the historical event data having a sub-wager assigned thereto.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2022Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Michael Casey, Rex Carlson
