Abstract: Gaming systems, gaming devices and methods that provide games that control volatility. In one embodiment, the gaming system disclosed herein enables a player to select values, or cells associated with values, that are displayed in a particular arrangement. The player selected values are distributed to other values or cells according to one or more predefined rules. In one embodiment, one or more of the player selectable values are progressive award values. At some point during the game, the gaming system randomly picks one of the remaining values that have not been selected and provides an award to the player based at least in part on the selected value.

Abstract: Gaming systems and methods for determining zero, one or more awards based on one or more moveable wild reels associated with an increasing modifier.

Abstract: In various embodiments, the present disclosure relates generally to methods for providing an award based on matching symbols.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes providing a real-time environmental model of a shared virtual environment (SVE) that includes a plurality of virtual players. Display data corresponding to the SVE is transmitted to each player device. The data includes user display data that causes a display in the player device to render a portion of the SVE based on a virtual orientation of the player device and a virtual location of the virtual player in the SVE. Sensory feedback data is then transmitted to the plurality of VR devices that causes each VR device to provide a sensory indication associated with the SVE to the respective player. The sensory indication is indicative of a benefit that will be provided to a subset of the plurality of players at a predetermined future time. At the predetermined future time, the benefit is then provided to the subset of the plurality of players.

Abstract: In various embodiments, the present disclosure relates generally to gaming systems and methods for providing an award based on adding symbols to additional symbols display positions of a symbol display position matrix.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a gaming system and method providing a slot game including a symbol generator modification event. In various embodiments, the gaming system is configured to provide a slot game, each play of which employs a subset of a plurality of symbol generators. If a symbol generator modification event occurs in association with a first play that employs a first subset of the symbol generators, the gaming system removes one of the symbol generators from the first subset and adds another one of the plurality of symbol generators to the first subset to form a second subset, and employs the second subset for a second play. The gaming system removes and adds the symbol generators to form the second subset such that the average expected payback percentage of the second play is greater than the average expected payback percentage of the first play.

Abstract: In various embodiments, the present disclosure relates generally to gaming systems and methods for individually activating zero, one or more features in association with one or more elements or parameters of a play of a game. In these embodiments, upon an occurrence of a feature activation determination sequence triggering event, the gaming system enables a player to participate in a feature activation determination sequence to individually determine, for one or more displayed elements of a play of a game, whether or not to individually activate one or more features in association with such displayed elements for the play of the game.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a gaming system and method providing a skill-based wagering game.
