Abstract: In one aspect, an electronic gaming system is provided. The electronic gaming system may cause to be displayed on a display device a game interface including a matrix having a plurality of symbol positions for displaying a symbol within each symbol position, generate, based on an RNG call outcome, an optimal game outcome, programmatically select a suboptimal game outcome based on the generated optimal game outcome, display at least a portion of the suboptimal game outcome in the matrix, cause to be displayed a prompt to select from a plurality of user options to modify at least one symbol of the at least a portion of the suboptimal game outcome displayed in the matrix, modify, based on a selection received from a user of one of the plurality of user options, the symbols displayed in the matrix, and determine if the optimal game outcome is displayed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an assay for use in a method of determining the oral health status of a canine animal by identifying certain bacteria present or absent in a sample taken from the animal, and applying the information set out herein for each identified bacteria to statistical models in order to determine the oral health status of the animal.
