Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a game mechanic for an electronic game (e.g., a reel-based slot machine type game) which includes a cascade feature provides for a block of symbol(s) to be moved into and out of a game interface. The block of symbol(s) is moved or manipulated as a single unit and may be stepped into and/or out of the game interface over a course of a plurality of game events (e.g., cascades or spins of the game). The block of symbol(s) may, in some embodiments, comprise at least one symbol which spans a plurality of symbol positions of a symbol matrix when the entirety of it is placed into the symbol matrix. In some embodiments, the block of symbol(s) may function as at least one wild symbol.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, an online roulette game provides an opportunity to place a multi-spin wager, wherein a win condition of the multi-spin wager requires the player to obtain, over a plurality of consecutive spins of the roulette wheel, a predetermined number of unique outcomes and wherein each unique outcome is independently determined such that it is not dependent on any previously determined outcome obtained for the multi-spin wager. For example, the multi-spin wager may be that the next 7 outcomes will each be from different “streets” or columns in a grid of available numbers corresponding to numbers on the roulette wheel or that the next 23 numbers the ball lands on will each be different from one another. In some embodiments such a multi-spin wager may be embodied as a side bet and/or a bet that is made available for joining by a plurality of players.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a system for facilitating a card game provide for outputting a game interface which includes a plurality of card positions into which cards are placed, the card positions being configured in a triangle configuration, wherein the plurality of card positions include at least one subset of card positions within the triangle configuration, each of the at least one subset arranged in a respective sub-triangle located within the triangle configuration into which the plurality of card positions are arranged. A plurality of cards are dealt for a game event and placed into the card positions. If the plurality of dealt cards includes a first winning combination of cards, a prize is awarded to the player. In some embodiments, a prize is also awarded for any sub-combination of cards in a subset of card positions that qualifies as a winning card combination.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods, systems and apparatus for promoting game play frequency of online games. Embodiments include displaying a plurality of positioned game elements, wherein each positioned game element is associated with a game time period; displaying a game indicia associated with a positioned game element if a player has acquired a game piece during the game time period associated with the positioned game element; selecting one or more positioned game elements after a game duration; and awarding one or more prizes if the selected positioned game elements are associated with a game indicia. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed.

Abstract: Certain embodiments provide for replacing all regular symbols located in respective symbol positions comprising a predetermined set of symbol positions of a symbol matrix (e.g., all the regular symbols on a reel of a reeled slot machine-type game) with at least one special symbol (e.g., a wild symbol which may be output as taking up the entirety of the reel) if the predetermined set of symbol positions (e.g., the symbol positions comprising the reel) satisfy a qualifying condition. In one embodiment the qualifying condition is that each regular symbol in a symbol position of the predetermined set of symbol positions is part of a respective winning combination of symbols (e.g., each symbol on the reel is part of a winning combination along an active payline) after an initial resolution of an outcome for a game event (e.g., after an initial resolution of a spin).
