A multi-game package environment for a gaming device includes at least a first and second game. The first game is eligible to trigger a payout of one or more first progressive feature prizes associated with the first game and ineligible to trigger a payout of one or more second progressive feature prizes associated with the second game. A first set of random-based game outcomes are generated for a round of play of the first game to randomly determine a bulk progressive feature prize update operation across at least one progressive feature prize of each of the games in the multi-game package. A second set of random-based game outcomes is generated to randomly determine whether one of the one or more first progressive feature prizes in the first game is triggered. Concurrently, an amount by which to update a visual meter associated with each updated progressive feature prize may be determined.

A system is provided. The system may include a display device and a processor configured to present an array of display positions including columns and rows of display positions, the array including a first row having a reel of symbols associated with each column of the first row for displaying symbols on the reels within the first row, the array including a second row for displaying a set of initial symbols, each row of the array above the first row including a progressively increasing multiplier value, identify an RNG output for each of the reels, perform a lookup within a table associated with a column using the RNG output for the column, determine that a step-up symbol should be displayed in the first column based on the first lookup, and move the initial symbol displayed in the first column up at least one row based on the determination.

An electronic gaming device is described. The device is configured to receive an input requesting play of a feature game, initiate the feature game wherein the feature game includes a plurality of reels, and randomly determine, based upon a first output from a random number generator (RNG), at least one instant feature. The device is also configured to determine a table of symbols associated with the at least one instant feature and populate at least one reel position of at least one reel with at least one symbol from the table of symbols wherein the at least one symbol is associated with the at least one instant feature. The device is further configured to, based upon a second output from the RNG, determine an outcome for the feature game and control display of the feature game including presentation of the at least one instant feature.

Systems and methods for providing one or more instant features randomly from a plurality of instant features in electronic gaming

A multi-game environment for a gaming device is described. A lobby includes a first game and a second game in a multi-game package. The first game is eligible to payout a first stand-alone progressive jackpot and ineligible to payout a second stand-along progressive jackpot. The second game is eligible to payout a second stand-along progressive jackpot and ineligible to payout the first stand-alone progressive jackpot. A round of play in the first game initiates and the first stand-alone progressive jackpot and the second stand-along progressive jackpot adjust according to a funding rate. A first set of random based game outcomes generates for the round of play to randomly determine whether a jackpot feature is triggered. A second set of random based game outcomes is generated to randomly determine whether to payout the first stand-alone progressive jackpot.

Random based game outcomes for games within a multi-game package

An electronic gaming machine and method of operation including presenting a spinning reel based game and feature game, includes presenting a feature stage determined in response to multiple individually selectable gameplay options. One of the presented options includes multiple variables unknown to the player at the time of selection. Values for the multiple variables may be determined in response to an outcome established prior to presenting the multiple gameplay options.

Gaming device with player choice randomised based on game play outcome

An electronic gaming system includes a display device, a memory, and a processor. The processor is configured to perform a variety of operations, including, for example, determining whether a trigger condition has occurred during a base game, and determining a repeat win amount during the base game. In at least some embodiments, the processor is also configured to control the display device to display a plurality of selections, each selection corresponding to a feature game, in response to occurrence of the trigger condition. Each feature game may be associated with a win volatility and displayed in association with information about the win volatility, and each win volatility may be based, at least in part, upon the repeat win amount determined during the base game.

A gaming device comprises a display, a processor, and a memory storing (a) a jackpot prize meter, (b) a current award value for awarding the jackpot prize, (c) reel strip data defining a set of reel strips, each reel of the set of reel strips comprising prize value symbols and non-prize value symbols and (d) instructions. When the instructions are executed by the processor, they cause the processor to select symbols from the set of reel strips for a plurality of symbol positions, control the display to display the selected symbols at their respective symbol positions, upon the displayed symbols including at least one but fewer than a threshold number of prize value symbols, increment the jackpot prize meter, and upon the value of the jackpot prize meter reaching the current award value, award the current award value.

Gaming device with jackpot increments for non-triggering prize value symbols

A gaming device comprises a display, a processor, and a memory storing (a) reel strip data defining a set of reel strips, each reel of the set of reel strips comprising special symbols and regular symbols; and (b) instructions. The reel strips are used to select symbols to populate positions of a playing field shown on the display. When two or more of the same special symbols occupy adjacent positions of the playing field, they may merge into a single position occupied by one of the special symbols in question. If three or more special symbols are adjacent, all merge into a single position and a higher-value special symbol. This merge may be signaled by a graphic such as an animation or image, a sound, a light, a vibration, or other audiovisual or haptic indicator. The higher-value special symbol thus replaces one of the adjacent special symbols while the rest are removed or disappear. Further, values of the special symbols (prior to any merge) may be added to an eventual payout amount to be provided at an end of a series of related games.
