An electronic gaming system includes a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory. The instructions, when executed, cause the processor to initiate a reel game that uses a set of reels having a set of reel strips, and select a special symbol that is included in the set of reel strips from a plurality of special symbols including a first set of special symbols associated with a first pay evaluation and a second set of special symbols associated with a second pay evaluation that determines a greater number of winning symbol combinations than the first pay evaluation. Special symbols of the first set have a greater probability of being selected than special symbols of the second set. The instructions, when executed, also cause the processor to cause display of an outcome of the reel game and evaluate the outcome of the reel game.

Electronic gaming systems and methods having outcomes randomly selected from multiple sets of winning symbol combinations

A gaming device may perform various electronic games, such as a keno game, and may include a game controller configured to control operations of the performed electronic games. During the course of a game performed on the gaming device, the game controller may control various winning scenarios, including alternate winning scenarios. At certain stages in a keno game, a number of markers may be selected. Before, after, or while these markers are selected, the game controller may determine how many bonus markers will be selected. Based on the number of selected bonus markers, the game controller may initiate a bonus draw phase where an additional number of markers may be selected. After all markers have been selected, any selected bonus markers may be added together and the calculated sum may be added to a credit balance associated with a player of the gaming device.

Keno games with bonus markers and alternative winning scenarios

A bonus round of a video keno game may consist of a series of bonus game instances. During a bonus game instance, a game controller may identify a set of bonus game pieces and select a set of bonus outcome identifiers from a bonus outcome pool. A win amount may be determined based on the number of matches between the set of bonus outcome identifiers and the set of bonus game pieces. The bonus outcome identifiers may include persistent identifiers and non-persistent identifiers. Persistent identifiers may be removed from the bonus outcome pool for subsequent bonus game instances in the series. Additionally or alternatively, the bonus game pieces corresponding to the persistent identifiers may continue to be matches for the subsequent bonus game instances in the series.

A gaming device that incorporates an expanding mechanic on one reel of a slot-type game. The expanding reel is one example of an enhanced payout reel. Generally, although not necessarily, the expanding wild reel is a middle reel that is positioned between non-expanding slot reels. Typically, an equal number of non-expanding reels are positioned on either side of the expanding wild reel. In some embodiments, a pair of non-expanding reels may be positioned on either side of the expanding wild reel. Generally, each reel in a pair of non-expanding reels are identical. In other embodiments, multiple wild reels may be used with multiple non-expanding reels, such that the expanding reels are surrounded by, or next to, non-expanding reels.

A continuous symbol sequence supplemental game features is described. A gaming device randomly triggers, based on a random number generator, a continuous symbol sequence supplemental game feature. The gaming device randomly determines, based on the random number generator and triggering the continuous symbol sequence supplemental game feature, a number of credit symbols to add to a continuous symbol sequence. The gaming device randomly determine, based on the random number generator, the credit values for the credit symbols. The gaming device presents the continuous symbol sequence, wherein the credit values of the credit symbols in the continuous symbol sequence are arranged in a designated order.
