Display screen or portion thereof with a transitional graphical user interface

An electronic gaming machine includes a display device, a processor, and a memory storing instructions which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the display device to display an initial array of symbol positions, where the initial array of symbol positions include a plurality of rows of symbol positions. The instructions also cause the processor to populate each symbol position with a first plurality of symbols, and evaluate the first plurality of symbols to determine whether to provide a first game award. The instructions also cause the processor to add a new row of symbol positions to the initial array of symbol positions, and populate each symbol position of the new row of symbol positions with a second plurality of symbols.

Electronic gaming machine and method for adding one or more rows of symbol positions to an array of symbol positions in an electronic wagering game

A method of dynamically forming a dynamic reel strip to be used to generate a game outcome in an electronic gaming system. The method includes defining a dynamic reel strip. A plurality of reel strip positions of each reel includes a group of dynamically determined symbol positions, and fixed symbol positions. The method includes initiating a play of the game then updating each dynamic reel strip by selecting, at random, a fixed symbol position from a subset of the fixed symbol positions of the respective reel strip. The method further includes determining a symbol of the set of game symbols to occupy each dynamically determined symbol position of the group of dynamically determined symbol positions based on the selected fixed symbol position of the respective reel strip. Displaying, via a game controller, symbols in symbol display positions on a display of the gaming system.

Method of gaming, a gaming system and a game controller

A gaming system comprises a processor and memory storing a) multiple feature game trigger probability states including a lowest feature game trigger probability state and a highest feature game trigger probability state; b) a current feature game trigger probability state of the multiple feature game trigger states; and c) instructions. When the instructions are executed, they cause the processor to receive a player selection in respect of play of a game with a base game from which a feature game can be triggered, generate a base game outcome for display, evaluate the base game to determine whether to make an award in respect of the base game, and control a probability of the feature game being initiated (e.g., select the current feature game trigger probability state if the player selection has a first characteristic, or the highest feature game probability state if the player selection has a second characteristic).

Gaming devices and gaming systems with variable trigger states

A gaming method and system, the method comprising providing one or more reels in a spinning reel game, the reels being displayed as three dimensional and displayed as provided with game symbols along and around the reels, displaying spinning of the reels and thereby sequentially displaying at least some of the game symbols displayed as provided along the reels, displaying rotating of the reels and thereby sequentially displaying at least some of the game symbols displayed as provided around the reels, stopping the spinning and the rotating of each of the reels at a respective stop position, and determining a game outcome based on at least some of the game symbols displayed when each of the reels is in its respective stop position.

Gaming system and a method of gaming

An electronic gaming machine includes a display device, and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory. When executed, the instructions cause the processor to select a first plurality of symbols for a first level of play of a feature game, where each of the first plurality of symbols are selected from a plurality of feature symbols including at least one number symbol and at least one designated symbol. The instructions also cause the processor to control the display device to display the first plurality of symbols in a first row of symbol positions, and in response to determining that the first plurality of symbols include at least two number symbols, concatenate the at least two number symbols to determine a first prize value equal to the concatenated value of the at least two number symbols.

Electronic gaming machine and method for determining concatenated prize values

A gaming system that uses multiple ghost reels to trigger a jackpot feature. During the jackpot feature, a gaming system performs a first spin of a jackpot prize reel that includes multiple jackpot prize symbols. After the first spin, each of the displayed jackpot prize symbol replaces a jackpot symbol displayed on the same line of an adjacent first ghost reel. Afterwards, the gaming system performs a second spin of the jackpot prize reel that generates a second set of displayed jackpot prize symbols. The gaming system then replaces the jackpot symbols of an adjacent second ghost reel according to the displayed jackpot prize symbols located on the same line. If the jackpot prize symbols populated on the ghost reels and the jackpot prize reel produces a same line match, the gaming system awards a jackpot prize corresponding to the matched jackpot prize symbol.

Gaming system

An electronic gaming system comprises a first video display, a second video display, and a game controller to select a plurality of symbols from a symbol set for display at respective ones of a plurality of symbol display positions on the first video display. Upon a trigger condition being met, the game controller awards one or more wild symbols to be incorporated into the symbol display independently of selection of the symbols from the symbol set, controls the second video display to display a first portion of a wild symbol awarding animation, and controls the first video display to display a second portion of the wild symbol awarding animation during which one or more animated objects shown in the first portion of the wild symbol awarding animation move to the first video display.

A gaming system is disclosed which comprises a plurality of reels, each reel comprising a plurality of symbols from a set of symbols, a symbol selector arranged to select a plurality of symbols from each reel for display, a reel selector arranged to select at least one reel, a function allocator arranged to allocate a function to at least one selected reel such that each displayed symbol on said at least one selected reel acquires the function, and a game outcome generator arranged to determine a game outcome based on the displayed symbols and on the function allocated to said at least one selected reel. A corresponding method of gaming is also disclosed.

A gaming system is disclosed that comprises a game controller that includes at least one processor and at least one memory device that are operably connected. The memory device(s) store computer-readable instructions for controlling the at least one processor to cause prize indicia to be displayed, each prize indicium corresponding to a spot prize awardable to a player, and cause a symbol array to be selected and displayed such that the symbol array and the prize indicia move relative to each other. The instructions also control the processor to select at least one spot prize corresponding to at least one prize indicium, determine at least one prize symbol to be added to the symbol array, corresponding to the respective selected at least one spot prize, and allocate a Wild function to the at least one added prize symbol. The instructions also control the processor to present the spot prize corresponding to the at least one added prize symbol, determine whether the symbol array corresponds to a winning outcome, and present a winning outcome prize if a winning outcome is determined to exist.
