Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to gaming machines, gaming systems and methods of operating such gaming machines and systems. An example gaming machine comprises: a display to display images; a user interface to receive input in relation to a player wager; a memory for storing data concerning a predetermined number of bonus symbols, a predetermined number of gaming symbols, and an association between each bonus symbol and at least one particular type of a plurality of gaming symbols; and a game controller configured, in response to the player wager, to play a primary game of chance to reveal a plurality of said gaming symbols on the display means.

Abstract: A gaming machine has a touch screen interface, a memory to store predetermined rules, and a processor. The processor may display, on the touch screen interface, a virtual environment, a first virtual object and a second virtual object. The first virtual object and second virtual object may behave according to the predetermined rules within the virtual environment. The processor may also detect, via the touch screen interface, a series of player's touch inputs on the second virtual object to update a property of the second virtual object. The processor may then determine an interaction between the first virtual object and the second virtual object having the updated property, and based on the interaction, the processor may update the first virtual object and/or second virtual object within the virtual environment.

Abstract: A gaming machine includes a player interface and an electronic controller arranged to control play of a game on the player interface. Prior to commencement of a bonus round, the electronic controller is arranged to display on the player interface a range of bonus features. Then in response to receiving via the player interface a player-selected bonus feature, the electronic controller determines a number of bonus games to be awarded to the player in the bonus round. The determination of the number of bonus games is randomized and is equalized so that a return to player percentage is at least equal to a predetermined return to player. The gaming machine is further arranged such that the player selected bonus feature applies to each and every awarded bonus game in the bonus round.

Abstract: A gaming machine has a display to display images; a user interface to receive input from a player; a memory; a game controller configured to access the memory, control display of the images and process input received via the user interface. The game controller may control generation and display of a game of chance comprising a first inner wheel and at least a second concentric wheel. Each of the first inner wheel and the at least second concentric wheel comprising a plurality of segments having associated indicia, wherein the first inner wheel has fewer segments than the at least second concentric wheel or a subsequent concentric wheel. The game controller has random selection means including means for initiating simultaneous and independent rotation of each wheel; and (iii) control cessation of rotation of each of the wheels.

Abstract: A method of gaming comprising: selecting a plurality of groups of at least two symbols for a play line played by a player; displaying the selected groups at respective ones of a plurality of display positions on the play line; linking groups of symbols based on at least one symbol linking rule; and awarding a prize to the player if sufficient of the groups of symbols on the play line have been linked.

Abstract: Certain embodiments may be set to reside in an optical display. The optical display includes a plurality of strands arranged in spaced apart relationship. Each strand has a plurality of waveguides, and each waveguide has an output at a different position along the length of the respective strand. Each waveguide has an input end. The optical display also includes a light driver for supplying light to the input end of each waveguide so light can propagate along the waveguide and exit at the outputs.
