Patent number: 9552686Abstract: A gaming machine includes a combination inner video display and rotatable object. The inner video display and the rotatable object may be correlated together to form a reconfigurable object. Both the inner video display and the rotatable object can have segments wherein each segment may have an indicia associated with the segment, wherein the indicia can be a prize, a bonus multiplier, a progressive jackpot, a negative value, a bonus spin character, a loss of spin character, a blank space or a null character. The player will be rewarded with the corresponding prize(s) based upon the outcome of the combination inner video display and rotatable object.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2005Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: IGTInventors: Harold Mattice, Chris Gadda, Chan Griswold, Richard Wilder, Ricky Lew

Patent number: 8231463Abstract: A modularized gaming machine operable to receive wagers on a play of a game of chance is described. The modularized gaming machine may include a base gaming module that can operate independently or can be coupled to additional gaming modules. In one embodiment, the base gaming module may include a security monitoring system operable to determine a security configuration including error conditions that depends on features of gaming modules coupled to the base gaming module. In another embodiment, the security monitoring system may be operable to monitor a fixed security configuration that is independent of the configuration of the modularized gaming machine. The fixed security configuration may anticipate input from security devices that are unconnected in a particular configuration of the modularized gaming machine. In these instances, a signal mechanism may provide information to the security monitoring system to ensure a non-error condition for unconnected security devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2011Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: IGTInventors: William R. Wells, Chauncey W. Griswold, Ricky Lew, Christian E. Gadda, Richard L. Wilder, Harold E. Mattice
